Another fish story:-)
Depending on where you live, a local coin shop may not be so local. Coin shops are a good place to see actual coins in person but depending on...
Nice coin. One of these days I'll try to put together a nice New Orleans type set.
The only thing sad are your posts here. I haven't seen anyone bashing you here; just relating their experiences with purchasing "unsearched"...
If my memory isn't doing tricks I believe the dealer paid me 6 cents for teens and 5 cents for 20's and 30's. I had about 500 common IHC which he...
That's an excellent idea!
No dates/mint marks that stand out. If you took them to a dealer you may get 4-5 cents each. I took about 10000 to a dealer last year and he...
I'd be happy even if it was a large motto coin:-)
Looking at the historical history of silver since 1970, the price per ounce stayed under $2/ounce until 1973. So my comment was off since the...
Even in 1970, the bullion value of the Morgan was worth well over a dollar.
If you purchased silver at $30 per ounce 20 years ago and, say, inflation has doubled in that time, if silver was still selling at $30 per ounce...
Exactly. This is no different than investing in stocks. Ultimately, one is responsible for their own choices and many won't be satisfied with a...
Does that include the gators?
I couldn't agree more. One may think they come out ahead if they over grade their raw coins and determine their value using the Red Book.
But are they unsearched:-)
This reminds me of the guy that would put a quarter eagle in a batch of cents and then sell the rolls with the buyer hoping they'd get THE roll...
I like the year 1916 since it was my mothers birth year but putting together a high grade set is well beyond my means.
I'm only 62 as well and really haven't had much interest in modern (post 1964) coins other than completing sets (Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt,...
I'd look for any higher grade ones pre 1940. Anything with a mint mark prior to 1930 will have some value; especially teens. Now if you have a...
So if the population for a EF45 1959 Jefferson is 1 then it should be worth thousands!
