I'm with Kurt, my upper limit is my budget. So far the highest I've gone has been $6,000. (also the most expensive coin I have purchased)

So what is left besides the Flowing Hair half dollar?
Flowing hair half dollar, draped bust small eagle and draped bust heraldic eagle. Let me know when you get the draped bust small eagle.

there is a die for the 1866 standing liberty half dollar that is missing the motto "In God We Trust".
It isn't missing the motto. It is most likely a die held over from 1865 used early in 1866 before the new dies with the motto arrived from Philadelphia.

I always loved the term "Shipwreck Effect". A polite euphemism for "saltwater corrosion".

It's a result of the Franco-Prussian War 1870-71. France lost and had to pay reparations of 5 billion francs to Prussia. Much a of it probably came as French gold.coin. These were melted down and struck into the Prussian coins. As you say there were 12 Million 10 Mark pieces struck in just two years 1872-73. You compare this to the 12 million struck from 1890-1912, that's 12 million over a 22 years period so no individual year had that many coins. So if the survival rates were relatively the same, there would be a lot fewer high grade coins from the 1890 - 1912 era available than from 1871-72.

The 1968 might have a chance of some value if it get a CAM rating. CAM and DCAM proofs before 1973 are unusual not the norm. After 1973 proofs that AREN'T CAM are the unusual ones, but they aren't in demand because people like the CAM better.

Dont you think it interesting that many silver Eagles and some larger silver proofs get a 70 grade while having milk spots visible with the naked eye. ? I'm puzzled by this
In many, if not all cases, the milk spots developed or became visible after the coins were slabbed.

The letter says the 8 proof gold dollars were on hand, the other coins had to be struck "to order".

The first US coin to get a 70 grade was a 1964 proof cent. It got bid up to $40,000 but it had developed spots and PCGS withdrew their grade guarantee before it sold and made a private deal with the owner to get it off the market.
The first circulation coin to get a 70 grade was a PCGS 1973 Lincoln cent. Which also subsequently developed spots.

The problem is on the DDO the 1's show strong notching at the bases and the upper end of the curl of the 9 does as well. The subject coin shows no thrace of that notching and in fact the bases of the 1's appear to be thinner than they should if the notching was just blurred by wear. I don't see anything that would convince me this is the 1917 DDO.

I get some hinky feelings about the holder but nothing I can put my finger on. I can't find anything definite I can point to that says the holder is definitely bad. But the early fake holder barcodes would not scan (That fact that entering the serial number works doesn't mean anything. And that is why NGC went to posting images of every coin slabbed.), and I think the coin is a little overgraded.

The 1966 date was the date the design was adopted, the actual striking date as I said is found incused into the two stars. This was a common practice with Spanish coins from 1949 to 1982..

Notgeld can be interesting. I just collect the metal municipal issues. No porcelain, or private issues. I have over 1,800 different pieces from over 600 municipalities. But most of mine are nowhere near as nice as the ones posted here. One of my favorites is the Westphalia issues. I have all but one of the varieties and I have both varieties of the 1 billion mark pieces (Huge coins, 60 mm in diameter) Most of them use the same design.

The coin is not just triple struck it is also broadstruck with another planchet in the coining chamber below it so no rev image.

No it is a Wide AM, just as it is supposed to be.

I believe the 3 was changed right around the same time but from a quick look at the Redbook it looks like the Open 3 came before the arrows were added. If that was true, the closed 3 should all be at the old weight and the open 3 should also be the old weight, and then the open 3 with arrows would be the new weight.

You think there are a lot from Kentucky, the Coal Scrip catalog (Edkins) comes in two volumes that are about the same size. One volume is West Virginia, the other volume is the rest of the country.

Do we know what the market value of these Liberty Nickels was in 1913 ?
They had no value in 1913 because they weren't known to exist. In 1919 Samuel Brown posted advertisements in The Numismatist offering to buy 1913 V nickels for $500 each, later raised to $600. In 1920 he displayed the five coins implying that he had managed to purchase them through his ads. Later he offered them for sale but eventually ending up selling all five coins for $600..

Of the 11 specimens listed by PCGS I believe two are in government hands and 8 of them are owned by Tommy Bolack. Tommy buys every one that comes on the market.
What's your upper limit for buying Raw?

No because for set registries you have to have slabbed coins and I am buying raw coins. It's just that in the series I collect they often don't come cheap, even in low grade.
