Very nice. It looks gemmy. Like lots of scarce and very desirable moderns these list for almost nothing in Krause. Even after a spectacular...
I spent a few days catching up. It's truly a remarkable thread abounding in beautiful coins and excellent photography. I'm most impressed with...
I usually suggest you buy the $3 folders for each denomination and fill them with the nicest example you can find. My standard is that if a coin...
100 pages!!! I guess I'm gonna haffta read this thread. :cool:
It used to be possible to ascertain which were good companies and likely to do well and which were poor companies. Now days it's all dependent on...
Congratulations. I've long liked Icelandic coins and would have a collection of all these if they were around. I love cu/ni coinage but want...
I don't know why I opened the thread, read it, or am now replying. I think we're all really on the same page that collectibles are a terrible...
Beautiful coins. I especially like toning on the '75-D dime. Where in the world did you get such a nice '69 quarter!?!!
God only knows. 1924 cents were considered highly collectible. People had stood in long lines to get '09-S VDB cents and the 1924 issue was...
To be comprehensive I should add that in those days production numbers and numismatic production numbers were reported separately. There are...
If you believe the published numbers then the lowest regular issue modern would be the '76-P type I Ike at about four million. I've seen mintage...
There are a lot of coins in these sets with substantial premiums though the market is a little thin right now. Even the cheap sets can be busted...
D'oh. If you're talking about 1924 cents the mintage was only 75 million but these were saved by the roll and millions more were pulled out of...
Sure, but by the mid-60's all the dated buffalo nickels were gone except for a few culls of '26 to '38 dates. Most of the older buffs were in...
Of course those coins were only twenty or twenty five years old at the time. Now we regularly get 50 and 75 year old coins in change.
Do you think it's possible that Muller Brass merely produced the bronze strip or punched the planchets that were struck in Yeadon? Perhaps...
Interesting. I had assumed they were all made in (Yeadon) Franklin, PA. The presidential bronze sets and the antique car coin series sets were...
Way cool. I'm impressed that the original specimen actually saw some circulation.
I checked my '68 proofs recently and didn't find anything very special; just the common reverses.
These are all fairly low mintage. They weren't so hard to find in circulation back in 1973 because they comprised a fairly significant...
