  1. Hundreds of collectors crack coins ,That is why a true account of coins would be imposable.
  2. It's been a long time since Greg has made a comment on the forum. I hope he is ok ?
  3. Wow Jimbo. How many VAM's you got now ?
  4. Ya that is to nice to chop up. Let it Be
  5. Ya give it a rest please.. This site should be informative .....not reformative..... Do unto others .....
  6. Not on line. At a coin shop I deal with if it is a common date and he likes your business he gives deals on stuff that has been there for a while..
  7. Wow, ,,, the wording is correct. It has no mint mark and it is a post war coin. Oh my ....
  8. My Bad .I messed up on the key % $ I pushed and did not think about it. I have seen bullion for sale at melt +$5 not 5 % .....just to make it go away.
  9. Thank you for posting full shots of the coin. The obverse is out of orientation but it is workable. The coin is a piece with some MD from what I can see.
  10. I will never be done per say. I still roll hunt and save all my BU coins in all the series . It is a life long hobby and it's not over yet. Ya never know there is always a chance to find something a little different.
  11. Many buy a classical minted coin thinking they can always sell it for bullion price. But then it is always worth a bit more than melt you say. Also you may fall in love with it and never sell it. If you buy a bullion coin that is it's intent. You may also fall in love with it but maybe not as much that you can't part with it .
  12. I like buying holders other people have paid for. That way I am only paying for the coin inside the holder.
  13. I grade my coins as I sell them ? What does that mean? If it passes the 14 ways test is it ok to sell it ? I am so confused
  14. It happens every day. Most of us try to help when we can so that new people have a bit of a chance. I agree everyone must be there own advocate in this hobby but talking to numismatics with years of experience is a good place to start.
  15. I have always found Denver coins to be a better strike and almost proof like many times. Even though the Denver dies for years were made at Philly they were better looking ? I think it is as Lem said Not as many of these coins are graded high and also people are looking for the DD ones. Many times it is the Denver coin that is the hard to find coin . Supply and demand is what it is and some is and some ain't.
  16. That would be a mint set. I do not pull sets apart for books or folders I only pick roll hunted coins for that. For my collections of graded coins I buy coins other people paid to have graded it's cheaper that way.
  17. It looks to be stained. It may have a die crack on the obverse but it is hard to tell from the photo and would not be worth a premium due to the coins condition.
  18. Yes, I find some coins are just a mystery why they bid the way they do. I just don't get it. 67 and 68s are out there but do not show up very often
  19. Well the wait is over I found a 2023 D nice enough for my folder of circulated nickels. These are the best of many rolls hunted
