  1. Is this coin something like, What you would be looking for DES1958?
  2. I am wondering why you say there is more profit in mint sets rather than proof sets? Unless you are breaking up the sets and selling them off piece by piece. I agree that Proof sets do not go up in value much over time. but when I pay $5 to $8 on average it is not a big loss but the quality of a mint set is quite poor. I find most of the time they look like leftover coins from the floor of the mint that have been swept up and put in a plastic wrappers.
  3. The first pages was when I first came to the forum. After listening to the members and there vast knowledge I have a much better grasp on the goings on with the coin word . Thanks for your help Karen.
  4. Ya that last penny was a sad story , But this one is really toned I like it , Not worth anything but a penny still kinda nice
  5. This came in the mail today. I got this on a bid at Northeast Numismatics I got a sweet deal and NGC says it is a $75 coin so I am happy. I wanted the graded 25th coin seeing that the 25 anniversary is traditionally a silver anniversary.
  6. I thought so also Quintus but in reality after further investigation it is the zinc your seeing the copper is really that thin that it rubs off .LoL. Hard to believe.
  7. Look at this it is like the copper was worn off. I was not sure if it was grease or what, it was kinda sticky so I washed it off now it is ruined another experiment gone wrong in someone's laboratory somewhere. Poor Abe is always getting abused.
  8. Spooning Rings ,I remember some of the kids doing that with quarters almost no one ever finished them it took to long LoL
  9. From the stuff I have been finding like yours Hinkle where it is only in areas they have been polishing the dies . Woods has it
  10. Wow Dollarfan you have some worthy Morgan's there and with a bean to boost. Very nice collection.
  11. It looks like it may have been a 1948 at one time down the road.
  12. Sorry I stand corrected again. I thought he was talking about high priced Susan B's in general ..........
  13. Sorry I posted that one because it has the rare S I believe these 2 are narrow rim
  14. There are some ASE that are worth more than others . It is a mater of taste in any coins that make the resale important. I know the PCGS and NGC prices on my proof and dcam are $100 to $120 or whatever someone will pay me for them LoL
  15. Thanks VKurtB I will keep that in mind when I go shopping again. I got my 2017 S MS70 DCAM eagle and a 2007 W proof I may just settle for that and see what happens down the road.
  16. Looks like you have a couple of milk spots behind the flowers like mine has also. It is always a gamble not much you can do. It is graded so it will always sell higher than Bull
  17. Welcome to the Forum $1.oo is what the coin is worth Sorry Lil joe ..........My favorite sales pitch is................ ready ............ One of a kind..............Well yes of course it is ................everything is one of a kind
  18. It looks like environmental corrosion. I live near the ocean and all metal around here rusts fast . Copper and brass are what everyone uses for there outside lights if possible because it holds up longer but it to will corrode in the salt air and turn green and the green corrosion eats copper the best.
  19. Thank you both for the information ,keeping the resale factor in mind a bean is a bonus.
  20. Looking Good Dollarfan, you got some real nice stuff there.. If you don't mind ? I got to ask How much does it cost on average to submit for a CAC grading and I have heard a Bean may increase the value as much as 15%
