You could do a project on how vending machines use the electromagnetic signature to detect the various coins. If you could manage to build a...
NGC allows direct submissions from registered eBay users. Seems like it would be the easiest way to submit coins to NGC if you didn't want to do...
That's true. For example, they minted nearly 25 billion wheat cents, of which only about 500,000 were 1909S-VDB's. That means if you had a truly...
I have a hard time believing thats a 1909S VBD myself.
Errors in the listing aside, that's a really nice Morgan if you ask me. :thumb:
Wouldn't a quick dip restore any AT silver coin back to blast white? Not that I like dipped coins either, but give it a few decades and you might...
I would keep them - presumably they only cost you 2 cents, right? Though I would look at them carefully, as they might be the results of...
The next question would be, are you looking at buying these coins raw or certified by PCGS? If you are looking certified, the PCGS price is going...
It depends on the series of coin, there isn't any general rule of thumb that'll work for everything in PCGS's price guide. I generally look at...
Another way to tell a proof from an uncirculated is to check the rims. Generally the proof will have nice, squared off rims while the business...
My Grandad collected 5 sets from every year starting 1961. He said when he recieved them he would look at one of the sets, then put them away....
My guess is that atleast a few presidents are going to end up being mint and proof set only issues. Otherwise, if they keep the current rate up...
Personally I think the mint has gone a bit overboard with changing the coin designs as of late. The mint and proof sets for the next few years...
Another option is instead of doing a year/mintmark set, just do a year set. By going this route, a lot of sets that you might otherwise consider...
They contain an ounce of gold, so they are a pretty sound buy. assuming you don't have anything else you would rather have for the $700-$800 you'd...
They are actually two seperate pictures (note the speck of dust about 8 o'clock on the ligher one), however it appears to be mostly or all digital...
You made me curious, so I just looked to see if the 1970 was one of the modern Canadian dimes I'm missing (I refuse to pay a premium for coins I...
That looks unusually shiny for a cent missing the copper layer (usually the zinc oxides easily, turning it a dull dark grey). Who knows what...
But it's still perfectly legal to hoard them. I wonder if I should start a nickel jar next to my copper cents jar.
It can be hard to tell a high grade AU from images, but looks uncirculated to me. At $6, you can hardly go wrong with a coin like that.
