This isn't my specialty. I see nothing wrong with collecting, dealing, slabbing, or promoting such coins but they are outside my area of...
I usually like Clembo's posts but I find this highly offensive. I have no more vested interest in states coins than anyone else here but...
I believe mint marks are added to the master dies now. If a real no mint mark coin turned up it would probably be extremely common. (it's also...
Saying states coins aren't real is like saying people who collect bust coins aren't "real" coin collectors because the coins they collect weren't...
I haven't read the thread because I don't really understand the premise. If you make the mistake of buying any coin for investment why would...
The reason it appears different than other nickels is that it's a proof. These coins are struck twice under higher pressure so that the relief is...
It almost looks like someone wanted to prove he could stop on a dime.... ...five cents at a time. ;)
The neatest thing I can imagine will be possible next year; to get '68-D, '78-D, '88-D, '98-D, and '08-D dimes back in change when the teller...
There are a lot of us here. I have an answer to most every question but they might not be right. ;)
You were lucky. Most modern sets are worth more busted up than intact but you can't send in random sets for grading and have much chance of...
This roll bids at $20. It's easy enough to get bid for BU moderns but buyers don't want a lot of junk so unless it's a nice looking roll I'll...
It is remarkable how little attention they get. They're all tough in nice condition and this might be part of the problem; people just don't like...
They are all quite common. People knew there would be no mint sets in '82/ '83 so more of these were set aside than most dates. But there...
These come exceedingly nice in the mint sets. A few look like branch mint proofs. You could find them nice in circulation as well but very...
The '68 can be a bear too! They used a hammer to put some of the nickels in and it almost takes dynamite to get them out. Wear safety glasses...
You should be able to get full bid for most modern mint products if you're patient. Arizona Coin and Jewel is usually buying this sort of thing....
I wasn't aware that they operated these in only two locations. They operated at least from mid-'68 to mid-'69 but the official line was still...
I suppose because I consider the two cent piece to be almost exactly twice as stupid as the one cent piece. On this basis I half expect Congress...
Yes. It would have substantial value as a dime struck on copper (unclad) strip. Try just balancing a couple regular dimes on a ruler and...
With sales of $10,000 per day they can just raise prices .001% to make up for the loss caused by people who stop filling just below the cut-off...
