Here's the link you need - Coins Accepted And to answer the question a different way - there are no coins that exist that have ever been...
Steve this is exactly what I was talking about. There are a great many people who think that learning to grade isn't that hard. But it is - it is...
There is something that needs to be noted here - the Prestige sets contained ordinary clad coins. Only the dollar coins were silver.
Marshall - are you saying that you think the coins are over-strikes ? A coin of a different design deliberately struck on top of another coin ?...
One other thing that hasn't been mentiond yet yakpoo. I have said a thousand times that you can go to 2 different dealers and get an asking price,...
Yeah but look at how pebbly the surface is, even the rim and protected areas. That can come from very worn dies, but it also comes from elctrotype...
It's a 1616 Lion Dollar (or half dollar, the size/weight will determine which) struck at the West Friesland mint. Value in that condition would be...

Then you better spend 20 years and get the knowledge. Because Steve, and there is not 1 speck of disrespect intended in this, based on your...
I've said all of this more times than I can count, but here goes. As a general rule, coins make a lousy investment. There are several reasons for...
Uhhhh no, we're not. Nor are we talking about just US Mint coinage. But rather coinage from the present date to back to when coins were first made...
I would say $4-$50 max. The coins are not hard to find norexpnssive in high grade. So corrored & scratched is going to make a big hit on value....
