Frankly the whole staples thing is way overblown. If you're smashing and rubbing around a bunch of thousand dollar coins in loose 2x2s, you got...
It looks like it says HADF DIME.
That's what I figured. What's interesting is that the government is giving their stamp of approval that the coin (which they didn't originally...
I recall seeing someone doing a type set where every coin was also a variety.
If your motivation is a quick 10% ROI, I'll be curious how this works out for you. There are 5 of these currently up on GC and 4 on Heritage in...
I have nothing to back this up but from looking through Heritage archives I recall thinking that 2005 had higher coin prices than subsequent...
I agree that the advertising sounds too much like admiration.I have a 1936 5 mark and feel some disgust when looking at it, but feel that it...
Apparently when it's a "control test-punch", and "removed to cover the costs of the regulation labor." I also thought NGC always gave...
This is exactly what I was going to say. I don't know if the cost would be prohibitive for you for any of them in your list though. It's fun to...
I like it. Perhaps you can edit the title? (I've never tried that on here)
I've seen a few clad quarters with no copper visible on the edge over the years. Since the dates were well past 1964 and they didn't ring like...
I see an estimate of 40-50 known 1797 $5, but no explanation for what happened to the rest of them. Melted I suppose.
There are quite a few AU58 on Heritage with gold CAC. Didn't see any AU58+ though. Which is funny in itself - if an AU58 gets a gold sticker, then...
Do you mean you've never seen AU58+? Or never seen it on this specific coin? For the 1795 $5, PCGS pop report shows AU53+, AU55+, and AU58+. PCGS...
Yes, it violates the Hobby Protection Act unless it has COPY stamped on it in the correct size. I'm sure the the slab violates trademark/copyright...
I bought a set of these in the early 70s for 75 cents. As a kid I was clueless about reprocessing. They toned into some crazy colors though. [ATTACH]
It’s a fake slab.
Perhaps @Jack D. Young can answer that. I've seen "silver" ones advertised on the Chinese site in the past for substantially more than the $2...
Profile says Germany. NGC also has an office in Munich.
I know what it graded because I found it on PCGS. I agree it seems low but they seem to have a different standard for proof and specimen coins.
Separate names with a comma.
