Both times that I bought mint bags of halves I've observed that there are few high grade coins and alotta chewed up coins. For instance, I bought a $100 bag of P and D 2005 Kennedy's: I found 2 MS-66's, 12 MS-65's, 25 MS-64's AND the rest of the coins ($80 worth) are so boogered up that I'm...

I'm looking to replace my three year old Ricoh RDC-5300 digital camera with something in the $300-$400 range with a good, user-friendly macro capability for photographing coins. PC World lists the Nikon Coolpix 4800 and Kodak DX7630 as "Best Buys". I've seen some very nice coin photos here and...

I've posted two pic's in a.b.p.n. and was just wondering if anyone knows what kind of coin this is? The pic's are under this header "Unknown 1764 Coin" Any help is appreciated. Thanks Steve

There were seven silver quarters in the cash drawer when i arrived for work at the Domino's store. Boss let me have them at 'face', too. :-) He said that he thought that the store got them from a customer at a local cheap motel the previous night. All super-common varieties (1958-D; 1963; 1964 ;...

Y'All give me a fair assessment if you can find the whel damage on the reverse of this Morgan at 9:00........ All comments/opinions welcome as I am trying to learn about this phenom............ Regards, Gary Loveless

I am still trying to pick up another nice classic commemorative half dollar, after purchasing a nice Stone Mountain. I have been checking websites and eBay, looking for something I really liked. I ran across an eBay auction, still with three days to go, for a Roanoke half, an ANACS MS64 with a...

Please check this link. I believe that a genuine Washington peace medal would be worth around $100,000. This sellers buy it now price is $1000. How should ebay be notified? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3454&item=3965367037&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Thanks. Marv Finnley

I was bidding on a mixed lot of PCGS state quarters. All the quarters were worth very little except for a 1999-D New Jersey MS67 *NOT* in a flag holder. I have a 1999-D MS67 in a flag holder and saw this as a good opportunity to replace the flag one with an example that is most likely better. I...

Are there any tricks for telling the difference between coin problems (nicks, smudges, etc) and plastic case problems? I inspected my 2005 Proofs yesterday and was having a very tough time discerning wether some of the "imperfections" were on the coins or the case. There seemed to be a lot of...

Remeber those "Magic Eye" puzzles? To view this coin properly, cross your eyes so that a third image is visible "between" the other two. Concentrate on this image and you'll get a nice stereoscopic view of this killer 1911 $10 Indian. http://web1.chicagonet.net/~baumgart/10ind3d.jpg Could you...

I appreciate any answers you can give me. I don't know anything about coins, but I know the coin I have questions about isn't "real". My grandmother bought several "coins" from Monex Deposit Company in 2001. These so-called coins are commemorative SS Central America, 1855 Kellogg & Co. $50 gold...

Dear All, How can I sell an old family keepsake, a Johnson Matthey platinum bar 32 oz. troy? Apparently, this item is located in Asia. How can search for its history? I went to JM website, I still cannot locate when they produced this piece. I know for sure it's very old platinum bar. Regards, Sam

Sorry if this is a repost, I never did see the first one. I'm trying to find out what this coin is. Anyone one know? Thanks Steve

I HAVE A 1801-1802 BAO HUNG 1 PHAN IN THE WORLD COINS BY KRAUSE SAYS IT IS RARE. I LOOK ON EBAY AND CAN NOT FIND ANY SUCH COIN. I WOULD HATE TO PUT IT UP FOR SALE AND SELL IT FOR X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS AND FIND IT OUT IT IS WORTH A LOT. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FORIEGN COINS BUT I DO HAVE A LOT OF THEM...

Hi all, Are the 1972(P) Eisenhower Dollars, especially in Type I and type II, really that rare/valuable in MS65+ condition? Mike
