New pages for Danscos

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 20:20:51 +0000

I just got my 2012 proof set and broke it open. I realized that I do not have space in three different albums. For the nickels, 8113 Jefferson Nickels with proofs, ends with 2011 S. For Halves, 8166 Kennedy Halfs with proofs, ends with 2012 D. For Dollars, 8183 Sacagawea dollars with proofs ends with 2011 S. Where can I get the next pages for these albums?

Nicely toned 1972 Jefferson

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 19:20:29 +0000

I bought a 1972 P D S mint set at a yard sale for $2.00. Sent it to NGC. When they came back there were two nickels I thought were worth the price. The one here: http://www.cointalk.com/t206590/ and this one. The toning doesn’t show well in the pics, but it is nice electric blue on the left fading to orange/gold on the right.Attachment 178608 Attachment 178609 Attachment 178610 Attachment 178611 Attachment 178612

Are National Parks quarters a commemorative series?

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 17:21:06 +0000

If the National Parks quarters are a commemorative series what percentage goes to the parks? The circulating coins probably aren’t; but, what about the 5oz er’s?

Gold Prices Up on Week, Silver Dips, US Silver Coins Best Since Jan.

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 16:14:51 +0000

Gold prices rebounded a combined $55.30 between Thursday and Friday to spring back from its lowest price this year and eke out a 0.5% weekly gain — the first in three weeks.

Advances on Friday were largely attributed to bargain hunting and a weaker U.S. dollar which fell after its longest winning streak since 1985, a ride of gains that lasted for 14 straight sessions. [...]

Type B Washingtons

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 06:20:21 +0000

Hey guys, I picked up another 40 coin lot of Quarters on eBay, a 40 coin set from an album 48-64. I upgraded a coin or two and found a 56 type B to add to the set of type B/s I am starting.

All I’ve gotten so far are that 56, 62, 63 & 64. I just haven;t been able to come across any. What I am wondering is if anyone can tell me what a complete set of them consists of ? Are they all Philly or are there Denvers and Friscos floating around ? Were all the years represented, or are there gaps ? Has anyone completed a full set of them and if so, what’s gonna be the tough one or ones. ?

Thanks everyone,

Gary

How reputable is ICG? I’ve heard a complaint or two about over grading.
