  1. No, unfortunately. I picked a few up a few, but not the ones I need.
  2. I’m looking for a December 1991, January 1992, and January 1996 NGC Census or Population report. Any condition as long as everything is readable!
  3. Yeah, the sample slabs were part of Publisher’s clearing house gimmick and are extremely common. The box as far as I was produced in the early 2000s and unknown publicly until 2004.
  4. Just received this in the mail today. couldn’t find much information other than it was for PCGS internal use only. Any one know when they were issued?
  5. Hello, I’m looking for ; 1. MS-66 (67 or higher on common dates) and higher Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, and walking Liberty halves Preferably nicely toned. 2. Any pre 1916 NGC Fatty any grades Can pay with Venmo, PayPal, or Cashapp
  6. I have a toned 1957 MS-68* Roosevelt, I also have some PCGS 67+ if you are interested.
  7. Most of that article, and the December 1985 The Numismatist use the primary sources and then take a leap of conjecture.
  8. Marks would definitely result in any shipment method of coins not properly protected. It would make little difference, however, if the original production was proof or business as if a proof coin was put into circulation it would garner the same marks.
  9. For economy its been 2-3 months, standard has been about a month, however, they have been a bit slow opening the packages (~2-3 weeks).
  10. $10 a piece for classic comes is a decent deal. I doubt you could find a cheaper pilgrim. If you can find what each classic commem was issued in, you can usually tell what the toning will look like. Sesquis are extremely hard to find nice toning on.
  11. I suggest looking through old auction catalogs from the 1860s. many mention proof sets broken up between minor proof sets, and full proof sets. While not packaged together until the mid-late 1800s (and those are mostly 'third-party' velvet lined boxes/cases like maundy sets) they were still often purchased together.
  12. I believe it was a keg of cents + a bag of half dimes & Dimes to Norwalk Ohio. Not very far from where I live and I visit regularly so I hope to find the keg one day, lol.
  13. My apologies Tom. That could be, but I would find it unusual. They had a surplus of them already( 900,000) in the treasury, with many going to the melting pot as well. As RWB pointed out above, the only order for half cents in this era really was a $2,000 order. Other letters to Moore show bankers specifically requesting they not be sent copper coinage (just half dimes and dimes). With the mint happenings it is definitely possible though.
  14. 1831 half cents were definitely not created from 1829. 1829 half cents are of the first type, while hubs for 1831 and onward half cents were reengraved by Kneass. 1829 half cents also do not have true denticles, as collars were yet to be used in half cents (see 1828 dimes).
