No, I said one was common and the other was not. Not quite the same thing, but I understand your point. But to answer your question the thing that...
Maybe, I only reported the numbers that are there.
Possible yes, probable no. Yes there is a way to explain it. 69's are common, 70's are not. So people are willing to pay outrageous premiums...
Ruben I was merely responding to this comment of yours - pointing out that high grade coins can be found in rolls. And yes, the odds are...
I didn't use Heritage, got them direct from the NGC site. The numbers only reflect the NGC census and do not include coins slabbed by PCGS....
The coins contain 1 oz of pure silver. They trade as bullion. You can generally buy them anyplace that sells bullion.
Hmmmm, facts say otherwise. For example, 2005 cents - you have to get them from a roll since the Mint sets have a satin finish. But the numbers...
Looks pretty evenly worn on both sides to me.
Ruben - Business strike coins graded as MS69 are rare regardless of where they come from. For example, out of the approximately 230,000...
There are only 3 sources for business strike coins - rolls, bags and Mint sets. So regardless of the grade, some of them had to come from each...

CW - When you want to know something look here first - Numismatic Resources - you can find the answer to just about any question there. Like...
In a nutshell, most experts will say that the only time a coin should be cleaned is to prevent further damage. Example, if the coin has PVC...
These two nickels had absolutely nothing to do with the annual mint sets. They were entirely different, issued as part of a special commemorative...
No Ruben, in '94 & '97 they issued commem sets, each had a nickel, a dollar and $2 bill.
Look at post 21 - that's a set. They had one in '94 and another in '97.
No that's what they sell for now. The sets, not just the nickel.
I was going by memory, thought they were both around 30k.
The 3rd pic appears to be the best. Get a mini-tripod Ruben, they only cost about $20. Getting clear pics by hand is all but impossible.
Proofs are a different animal. They might only strike 5,000 - 6,000 coins with a Proof die, sometimes less sometimes more. It depends on how the...
