For double that price, or less, you can put together the proof set. That's what I'm working on and I'm jealous 'cause I need the 95-W and can't...
What does the newer finish look like? I don't think I've ever seen one since 2005.
I didn't know that they used a different finish on the Unc sets, learn something new every day around here.
Maybe the US Mint's uncirculated set would be the way to go...you get a lot of coins for $27.95 + shipping. They should be in much better shape I...
Like Conder said, the business strike coins go through a lot of rough handling. If the US Mint didn't make proof coins, I probably wouldn't be a...
I'm curious as to what this mark represents, like what kind of symbol it is? Is it a Chinese character?
I'm not sure what the Presidential dollars are made of, maybe they're 'softer' than the clad quarters and mark up more easily. The proofs look...
Your pics of the coin look great to me! It is a very nice looking coin.
I think that if you're pleased with the 69 DCAM, hold onto it. If you want to make some money, buy some lower priced coins to peddle to the...
If that is a gouge on the reverse...there's the problem. It is large and in a prime focal area. On a really good day, it might make a 63. If it...
What is the mark between the 'R' and 'I' of America on the reverse? Kinda looks like a gouge, but it's maybe just the holder or the pic.
Not so much the rims, but the actual edge or 'third side' of the coin? I'm gonna go back and look at the pics from the other thread to see if I...
Yeah, I don't know why it would only make a 62. The difference between a 62 and a 65 is usually really obvious. Does the edge look totally normal?...
These are the types of coins that I like to look at under my stereo microscope at a reasonably high power, like 20-30X, to see what is going on...
The 1930 MS-63 FH may have been graded conservatively because of the toning and not knowing what was underneath it, and your dip removed it and...
I believe NGC requires 4 graders to determine and agree on the coin's grade. If they all thought that it's what it's slabbed at, and another TPG...
Isn't there already a thread opened that's the same as this?
I'm thinking that the price of gold is not going up...it's simply reflecting the weakness of the dollar. Kinda like oil, which is also priced in...
My thoughts are: If you need dollars to buy stuff, sell some gold. If you have extra dollars that you want protect from devaluation, buy gold. If...
A 'problem' coin that is not especially uncommon or rare, is the one that you pay $10 for, and when you can't find a bigger sucker when it's time...
