Proof coins v non proof by
note.boy
In Coincraft's Catalogue of UK coins the 1902 crown in matt proof is
valued at £120 while the non proof is £130.
The mintage figure for the matt proof is 15,123 while the non proof is
256,020, almost 17 times as many.
Are fewer collectors interested in proof coins or is the fact that it's
a matt...

Hiding the ANA Membership Numbers! by
oly
Finally got around to perusing the 1/2005 Numismatist, and noted that
the membership report (starting page 95) NO LONGER contains the range
of membership numbers that are presently being issued. This is a long
expected development, in view of the fact that the ANA loses 90%+ of
new members after...

About grading gold coins by
Bob Hairgrove
Hello,
As you might know by reading some of my other posts, I haven't been
collecting coins very long -- perhaps two or three years now, and only
since the last few months or so have I started to build up my
collection in earnest. I have found the level of knowledge and
readiness to help on this...

Prices of 1884-CC vs. 1884-S Morgans by
Bob Hairgrove
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the logic in pricing the different grades of
these. The 1884-CC starts out at $95 in VF (PCGS price) as opposed to
merely $20 for 1884-S. This would make sense as there were only about
half as many CC as S minted that year. However, 1884-S rises crazily
between EF...

A John Reich "mini" type set by
zax
I recently completed a mini type set of coins designed by John Reich. As an
adult collector, I find that many of my coin interests today have persisted
since my days of coin collecting as a youth. So it is that I have always
liked these type coins.
John Reich was a US Mint coin designer between...

"Tallness molar silver coin" by
[email protected]
I never fail to be amazed at the mendaciousness and blinding ignorance
of some Chinese hawkers of counterfeits. This fake 1879 CC trade
dollar, at least, is unlikely to come up on any rational search, and is
hidden away in the Medieval coins...

Questions about Canadian 1948 cent by
J. A. M.
"A. Roy" wrote:
I have several questions about a Canadian penny (or 'cent', if you prefer)
I acquired recently. It's a 1948 that had been taped to cardboard probably
since the 50s. The first, and most obvious question is how do I take off
the tape residue? But there's more.

Collecting Idea - Composer by
Jorg Lueke
I am always thinking about new, interesting, frugal sets I could put
together on the side. The problem tends to be with any set that one could
upgrade in terms of type, year, condition, etc. that it is easy to go from
a frugal to a rather expensive set. Nevertheless I have hit upon a new
idea...
