Nice. I love those blue and purple toned proof nickels of the 1960s.
Rickie, I'd be happy to help, but it's very difficult to price proof coins not-in-hand. The difference between PR-60 and PR-65 can be very much....
There may not be any dealers nearby, but are there cities with coin clubs? Try asking around, or contacting your state numismatic society, and...
They are collectible, and I do see them for sale from time-to-time at coin shows. I do suppose that technically, since they are copies and not...
It's likely real. Just an ounce of silver. If this is the one I'm thinking of, they were minted to circulate as cash, but the people got into...
Not worth sending in, in my opinion. PCGS likely will not give that full steps. Also not likely a 67. I give it a 66.
Fred Reinfeld... Is that the same famous chess-author Fred Reinfeld, or do I have my neurons crossed? Seems to be the same time period, and a...
And I was just coming here to fuss at you. Perfectly reasonable explanation. I apologize for the rush to judgment.
No. It varies by geography, but is generally around 9%, I believe. I just use the things to check the rejected coin slot. Never find anything...
No-go. Common wheats. Common, low-grade indians. Nearly universally true.
Could be a little mechanical doubling. I have some from, I believe, 1954 that appear to be anywhere from S/S to S/S/S/S. They're really wild, but...
That's what I took away, too. While both approaches have their merits, being patient and saving your pennies while waiting for the right coin...
I came here to say the SBA dollar. Now that I think about it, though, really it's all "small dollars" 1979 to present. Nobody wants them.
You can find more information at CONECA: http://hermes.csd.net/~coneca/ They are an organization of error and variety specialists. The 1954...
I'm going with acidic and/or thermal damage. That's a good-looking coin on the obverse. I hope you are able to resolve the problem. If not,...
When/if you get that digital camera, please take a picture on the macro setting. Thanks!
I see plenty of them at local shows for sale. I frequently see singles, both raw and certified, as well as whole BU rolls. Are there any shows...
$6.2 million I'm not ready to bid yet. Perhaps when the next one is up for sale.
Well, the reverse certainly looks like it. What about the obverse? Have any pics of the PUPs on that? I'd be looking for star #4 and the date...
Can't tell NT or AT from those photos. I highly suspect NT, but I also suspect tinkering of the photos. That's just not natural color. When I...
Separate names with a comma.
