Wow, and I thought Littleton and HSN were bad...
Buy the gold plated one as a novelty piece and you like it, but don't spend a premium. A few bucks at the most. Nice circulated pieces with...
All I know is they are pretty easy to find and most varieties with exception to that type 2 can be had in MS condition for pretty close to face....
You did really well, the last few boxes of halves I got I didn't do too well. Everybody is on the silver bandwagon here, not just collectors.
Oh yeah, I've been finding quite a few of them, just found my first Glacier Denver mint quarter. I have to resort going on eBay to get the Philly...
Now I've seen everything Merc! Good luck in your expedition, looking forward to the loot.
I bank at Bank of the West. Unfortunately they have a pretty crappy merchant teller system, because most vendors don't use this bank for their...

Your manager must have some extraordinary negotiation skills :)

Beautiful find! How close is it to a full split bands? The top and bottom bands look good, can't really tell the middle set.
If your daughter likes the wheat cent series, how about a nice 1957 or 1958 mint/proof set. They'll have a Franklin half in there too. Plus...
The hairlines can be a dead give away for a cleaning or whizzing. Another tell-tell sign of cleaning is the toning or dark crud in the letters of...
With everybody cracking boxes of half dollars, has anyone here been lucky enough to find an early commemorative half?
That would be a much better way to go. At least you could see with your own two eyes what you're buying. Finding a dealer that has "ready to...
I bet they're using the famous "walking liberty" motif to justify the price. It's a pretty piece but even I don't want spend that. Call it being...
