I love this attitude. Just think how many pieces of penny candy that coin has purchased. A thousand different hands, countless pockets and change purses. I love the thinking

It looks like strike doubling caused by serious die deterioration with a lot of rough use

French 1 centieme in UNC Panama Balboa Italian pre euro in very high grade 1998 eagle back Washington quarter in Uncirculated Canada post 1964 silver quarters and dimes uncirculated Ikes Most 2023 and 2024 British issues Well struck 1964 to 1969 Jeffersons Uncirculated Red early Zinc Memorial cents High grade early Euros There are ten that I think will double their value easily in 75 years, some much sooner.

A few years back I read several articles that all said it rook 6 seconds to grade the average coin. Ten coins per minute 600 per hour 4800 per day. Figure 22 working days means 105,600 per month per grader. Three graders should be able to hit the 259,000 number. I wonder how many coins are submitted per month.

Of course they could. It looks as if they have no desire to open such a box, and I am not sure I blame them.I think it would be better to put a net grade than a 'what would be if' grade. That would create a whole other host of difficulties so it is ptobably best as Unc details cleaned etc.

I must admit that I find you very confusing If you are trying to invest you have a strange attitude about it. If you are looking for help and advice you have an odd way of asking for it. If you are just trying to show you are the smartest man in the room, then.... if you are just bragging

oh dear, I hope these are not the best you have seen

Smeagle hates stupid names for die breaks. They smell of Hobbits, Smeagle hates Hobbitses the mosts.

that is a cooking pan or bowl by revere ware. I have never heard of collectors caring about multi struck logos. Bur who is to say?

Iron Eyes Cody was the anti- littering Indian. He was of Italian heritage with no Native American blood. Just a decent actor who made a career out of the part.

The Government is not always logical, especially when viewed in hindsight. For a long time it was illegal in California to own, possess, or transport into or through the state Meyers lemons fruit, trees, seeds, or products thereof. Offence of these laws or statutes carried penalties often greater than doing the same thing with marijuana.

Seven? Let's see... 1. Has anyone ever gotten a "classic dryer coin" from a dryer? 2. Has anyone ever owned or even seen a complete 1964 SMS? 3. Why do people insist on calling certain half dollars 1964 SMS coins when no 1964 Special Mint Sets were ever sold or produced? well, there is a start

That is the spelling the spell check on my computer had as correct. So whoever programed the spellcheck has a spelling problem, and yes I have problem with spelling, always have . Now, I respect your knowledge and dedication, but I think your thinking that the only way to define something is the way you define it and all other definitions are wrong is akin to thinking that if you are not Eastern Orthodox then you are not a Christian. This is a hobby, as such it is meant to please and amuse the hobbyist. If you are pleased by completing a set of one of every possible variant minted then enjoy. It should cause you no pain or concern that another collector defines a complete set differently.

A set is complete when the collector is satisfied with it. The idea that some 'authority' decides how one must collect is ludacris in my mind. To some a Morgan set is not complete unless you have all the VAMs to others if you have one of every date and mint, still others just every date, others still one in each grade. My set is complete when I say so not some expert or anyone else. So yes if the collector has a group of coins that he is satisfied with then 19% is complete.

Yes, it can. If the coin can be identified to date and mint. Look at the low ball collecting. If the coin has a defining element to the date, such as the Type one standing liberty quarter then it can be identified and graded with no date at all. As to 'Should it be graded', well, that is up to constant debate
