1982 was the changeover year from bronze to zinc. These sets were offered at every little coin show in the early to mid 1980s. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's not a great coin, but here's the piece I bought for my on again, off again large cent date set. This date gets very expensive, very fast as...
Since these sets are cheap, I would sell it and look for one that has better packaging. These coins coins trade in the mint holder. When they are...
Monroe half dollars are usually frosty to dull with so-so strikes. This one is graded MS-64 and close to as good as you will find. [ATTACH]...
[ATTACH] And what I think was probably the inspiration for the design. Although the Gobrecht dollar shown here was minted in 1836, the mint was...
I have one aureus and a couple of solidi. I would like to more aurei, but the prices prevent that. Your piece is gorgeous, @panzerman!
Honest wear is one thing; corrosion and environmental damage is another. That’s why those problems have more significant effects on the value.
From what have read, the Rosa Americana coins were not very popular in America. Therefore they tend to be found with little wear. Corrosion is...
Wow! Quite the find. I don't think I'd be doing multiple sets of anything however. I'm too much of an "omnivore."
I can see where people would not like it as a genuine coin. The Philadelphia Mint dollars are usually pretty well made, although not as good as...
One of the members here posted a Kentucky token (page 73 in the 2024 Red Book) that was a ground salvage piece. I commented that he might have...
Here is my example. [ATTACH] It is believed that this was the first set of dime dies that were used in 1796. There are six 1796 dime die...
I do have something dated 1826, a half cent. It is the piece in my NGC registry set, but it's not my best example of the Classic Head half cent...
Some “colonial coins” (Many of them were issued in the mid 1780s during the Confederation Congress.) are hard to find in high or even nice grades,...
People, who know what they are doing, are not beating down the fences to buy badly corroded copper. Here are the photos of the piece I had 20...
I am going to brutally honest about this Kentucky token. I think that it is probably genuine, but it looks like a ground salvage piece that was...
Years ago I belonged to a local club where the treasurer was selling counterfeit gold dollars to the president of the club at retail prices. These...
I had a Kentucky token in PCGS graded Mint State when I was a dealer and was barely able to sell it in the $1,000 range. It all depends on what...
There are three CWT varieties that have that obverse, #36, if I recall correctly. That is the most common of the three. They were great sellers...
Given what a VF looks like these days, $200 sounds about right I sold this one over 20 years ago when I was dealer. If you held it at certain...
