VAM 4 is the king of the 80 CC's

quite insane one? Definitely brighter than our future, got a vid of it?

This is the rest of the coin

mrshowtime Sharing here so more people see it. I would venture if that is is on the coin there could also be enough other hits to make it not make 67.

That is a great Price for a truly low Mintage coin!

selling at 80 if it gets there in the near future. gold im unsure, but 4700 is definitely pushing it

It's a roller coaster ride now with bullion. I still buy it but I try to only buy large amounts so I can sell to refiners right away. Collector coins help me sleep better than holding silver

The FED buying bonds to stop interest rates from rising. Yep sell, because you did not have metals last year. Stick to numismatics BOYS.

ok

My physical Silver I just buy and hold very long-term, I use SLV the Exchange traded fund for short term buying and selling, don't have to worry about the fluctuating spreads. Same for Gold GLD.

mostly all unc morgans are 64

nice toning for that liberty seated half!

For this one, zoom in and look at the fields. You will see some marks but there's even more to it than that.
We all are luster handicapped in this game. It's ok because we all have the issue but that makes it that much more important to get actual coins in your hand to learn how to grade.
Coins are graded based on a few factors but one of them is luster. In high MS and AU grades, it's especially important. Another is eye appeal. Wear, strike, even luster can be somewhat objectively graded but eye appeal makes it tough. I've had coins downgraded because of eye appeal. Others upgraded because of it.
If you spend some time grading coins, it will actually make this game a little easier.
Hope this helps!

I also see a lot of Roosevelt dimes that have that proof toning and I just can’t do them.

Or something like this.

Lines look raised so possibly the die itself was hubbed through debris, like some fibres. They'd be incuse if it were struck through fibres. Also, that's not true doubling. It's Longacre doubling. Google "Error-Ref Longacre's Doubling" for more info. Very common on coins of this era.

I agree that those stange lines appear to be fibers or possibly threads from a rag used to wipe off the die. As far a the doubling, this is common on this series as well as a few others, and appears to be material extruded beyond what the die recess can hold. I'm guessing that maybe the striking pressure may have been a little too high. Any striking of nickel coinage has a wealth of issues as nickel is a 'tough' material. I am actually very impressed that early nickel coinage has some great strikes and the mint was able to overcome many minting issues early on. Still we have an interesting selection of 'problem solving' examples.

Jasons_Ancestors Shared here as a good question and more people will see it in a group.

Regardless of value, these are all great looking survivors!

Nice coins! Silver dollars are very popular collectibles. There is nothing too exciting as far as dates/mintmarks are concerned but they are still very valuable coins. If you can, buy a Red Book (you can buy at local coin shop or online). It will teach you the basics for grading and you can look up the retail values for each coin in that guide book based on grades. It's fun too.

Hope this helps!

I did not see a D on the dime. If it was me I would hold off to sell until December. Also I would keep a few of your favorites!

Kaleigh More people can see your questions here in a group.

Should we be expecting a set award for this set?

Hi-relief Saints of course are awesome & $10 Indians but I really dig the early Draped bust coins from 1795 thru 1808

I don't know, feels like just more modern bullion. Maybe there will be a premium in a few years, only time will tell

The draped bust actually looks fairly good in that picture. But I'd imagine it's a proof with that god awful laser etched cameo they use now. I really can't stand proofs made after 2010 when they switched from the sandblasted cameo. The SLQ redesign silver medal was my favourite of this revival series of classic coins. Some people didn’t like it, but I though the obverse was really beautiful. Better than the original.
