I collect and hoard I guess. I do plan filling the album with pieces I pick out, but the clad Roosevelts are pretty common so I mostly want to concentrate on the silvers. Looking for toned and high grade coins as well as the 82 no P and 96 W. I don't see myself replacing many of the clads unless there's just a dog in the batch. I focus on Jefferson Nickels but I buy coins that catch my eye so the album is just storage for those I can't resist that aren't slabbed, and if the clads are full just less I have to worry with. Who knows there might be some die clashes or MM varieties in there too I'll update you when they arrive.
Nice adds! I love the look of 1938 Jeffersons. I'm not sure what is it about them but the 1938s have a different look than very other date.
That 1938 looks like a proof, must be an earlier die state? And I dig all those Bell Lines on the Frankie! Nice finds
I purchased this at the last Heritage internet auction basically by accident and am thrilled with it. I was trying to bid on a rare Shield Nickel, but this one came accross the block and didn't get much interest. The 1885 3-Cent has always been a dream coin for me, but when I looked into the 1884 a little more I realized its business strike counterpart is FAR rarer in high grades than the 1885! I like coins that cost less as a PR-65 than as a VF-20 too :-o Mintage for Business Strike: 1,700 and CoinValues Magazine Price in MS-65 $22,500 Mintage for Proof: 3,942 and CoinValues Magazine Price in PR-65 $600 I'll take the proof anyday and save the money
anyone into early us coins 1700's to earlier 1800's im trying to find one to buy not sure whats worth buying
For an entry level draped bust half cent or large cent or a capped bust half. There's decent examples under $100 try to buy problem free original coins. There's some decent stuff to be found I nearly capped bust dimes too
any thoughts on this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1831-United...43?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item5b0b6a5c3f
I really like this style of large cent. They seem to have aged really well because most of them that I've seen were still in pretty good shape.
