Nice MS coin. However it lacks eye appeal on the obverse. Personally I would find a better example to have graded, if I was into that kind of...
FYI The West Point Mint minted, if I'm not mistaken, 150k Roosevelt dimes in 1996 and they were only available in a special 1996 mint set. This...
Very nice toning, I love that NT rainbow. The peace dollar has what I concider the most attractive Lady Liberty of all the US coins. Thanks for...
WOW! I'm glad to see I didn't miss an opportunity to win one of these error coins. Please add my name to the list. Thanks and Keep on...
Excellent! I'm glad to see you got a decent grade for this coin. It is a beauty. I sometimes feel its a coin toss on whether a coin is graded...
As an investment no. As a collectible yes. These coins are way to modern and mintages to high to become an investment that will yield a sizable...
2.6 million silver clad UNC, and 4.2 million silver clad proofs. Check your Red Book for mintages. Sounds like marketing strategy for moving...
There are many coins still in circulation that will make for an interesting collection. Dollar coins, SBA's, SAC's, Pres., can be had for face...
The seam to the halves could be in different places, but I assure you it is there. Obverse dies are made to fit only the hammer side of the press....
Exactly!! I purchased a 1954-D Franklin (MS65 NTC). This coin is so not a MS65. MS63 maybe but no wear near a 65. I keep it intacked as a...
I have to agree with these gentlemen. The coin has low eye appeal because of hits but unless we could see it much better, detecting true wear...
I'm still curious as to what benefit's you get for having a membership? Are they worth what you pay? Outside of rzage's comment, which I would...
Welcome to CT! Nice circulation find. This coin has seen some circulating. Not sure about this particular condition with the mint mark. Not...
Check the areas around Franklin's lower jaw and neck. His coat label shows some wear. The reverse shows center bell contact, some contamination...
The reason you see this wear versus date conflict is because 1917-24 production years produced what is call the "pedestal date" which had the date...
Very nice coin to find in circulation. I have agree with the other replies and give it an AU. Given there where over 22 mil. produced, there...
I collect along these lines. I prefer to collect silver year/mint sets, BU, is what I desire, and all 1964 and older. It started off as a...
The Brown Ikes, proofs, were minted in lower numbers then the uncirculated Blue Ikes. That along with the demand would cause the price to reflect...
Live and Learn Don't be too hard on yourself. Learning "making mistakes" is all part of the experience of becoming experienced. The coin...
Well clembo, I happen to have a 23 in similar condition, including the date wear. I would like to believe that mine would grade VF. A coin...
