I've been burned too many times on mint packaging. A lot of it isn't stable and sometimes coins go into it that aren't stable. I usually...
"Chatter" is a good word for it. I usually call it "chicken scratches" especially when it's around the periphery of the coin. It is indicative...
This is a common problem for some mint set coins. It is appears to be a combination of fresh, sharp, dies and extremely hard strikes. The most...
They have a great display of modern coins.
This is what I like about mint sets. In most cases the coins in sets average far nicer than those made for circulation. In many cases it's a moot...
Thanks for post. 1982 is the date that most S Korean singles become "common". Obviously many of these coins are being removed from the sets.
I don't know but I do sense some of the later dates are less common than people percieve. None are scarce but interest trailed off over the life...
Paper money is very much a vector for disease but coins are pretty clean. Silver's antimicrobial properties make it less likely to carry germs...
Current bid is arnd $1300. Most of these rolls aren't worth the cost of shipping time. It would be wise to ship only the more valuable rolls...
I very much disagree. Of course by the same token if youlook at these markets from the perspective of those making and losing money in them...
I got to see my telephone token collection today and saw I had 146 different of these. I have no idea how many different were made but would...
I have a bag of 1977-C 5p aluminum coins that always listed for pennies apiece. There's nothing special about these coins and there's nothing...
I believe what we are seeing here is the result of a massive demographic change That is well underway in the hobby. It is largely masked by the...
Yes, I believe so. Is modern India really bringing the crazy prices I see on eBay and Amazon? It looks like a bunch of coins going for $5 to...
January, 1979. I believe the grooves were necessary for the token to fit through a complexly shaped opening. An even more complex system was...
I don't believe any excuse is possible for listing a coin for $1.50 that someone else has listed at $350. Obviously if anyone has a 1970 coin...
Krause is less than worthless for post WW II coins. Your post is the first time I ever saw that the 10 w has value (as high as $350) in XF....
A lot of the pennies are horribly disfigured and it's not unusual for the cases to be cracked or broken. It's easy enough to remove the bad sets...
I believe he's an actor. I don't know. But they can't ship inferior product or it will be returned. When you're dealing with large mark-ups...
Yes, exactly. There is very small demand. A few people collect sets and a few people collect sets of denominations but most are just sold...
