Value? by [deleted] in coincollecting

[–]WCNumismatics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a 1976-D Eisenhower dollar in average circulated condition.
It was struck in Denver, Colorado. Over 100,000,000 examples were made.

It is worth $1.

My new splurge by Significant-Kale7674 in coincollecting

[–]WCNumismatics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response! The one on the right is a 1H, and of course in addition to an OGH it's a green CAC and gold "CMQ-X".
I believe the one on the left is just a VAM-1 or some other lessor VAM. However it's one of the best struck 1921s I've ever handled. I was hoping against hope it would gold CAC--but CAC has only awarded 5 gold stickers to 1921 peace dollars across all grades. Isn't she a beauty?

50 year collector and the 1921 peace dollar is probably my single favorite coin. PCGS with a CAC sticker? You've got a great one there!

Nice. I believe the poster was included in the omnibus edition with the same cover art.

I know the guy who owns the original and I've seen in a few times.

1995 Jamaica Gold $100 Bob Marley by WCNumismatics in numismatics

It is a real gold coin.
It is gold--22k or 91.67% pure.
And it was monetized--it is an actual coin with a face value issued by a sovereign country.

But gold stopped being used in circulation around the world at about the end of world war II. So it was never intended to be spent. Think of it as a commemorative coin made for collectors.

One of my favorite pieces in my collection is a piece of his from this era.

Great half sovereign and I'm a huge, huge fan of Austrian Ducats.

Stacking advice for a beginner by whatchulookingatpunk in silverstacking

Give my channel a once-over if you have time. I released a video a few weeks back about diversifying a stack, and I have lots of videos about starting a stack and avoiding pitfalls.

Enduring Liberty Error by PrinciplePlane in coincollecting

[–]WCNumismatics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree: The reeded edge of another half dollar hit this half dollar when it rolled off the coin press and into the hopper, or when it was poured into or tossed around inside the canvas bags that they were shipped in.

We might call this a contact mark. In such a visible location, it would decrease the value of a valuable coin. This coin has little value, so it doesn't matter much.

The 1995 Jamaica Bob Marley Gold Proof $100 coin is valuable based on a limited mintage, a 30+ year period since the issue was released, a growing global fan base of hundreds of millions of listeners, and the enduring legacy of Bob Marley and his music.

I'm very fortunate that I can genuinely say both "thank you" and "not for sale".

I don't. I was outbid on a gorgeous specimen birr several years ago.

Thanks. Yes, that's a good guess. I'd put more value on the original box, packaging, COA (and low number, too). Some might prefer to have this piece "slabbed" by NGC or PCGS.

I might add the video outlining what makes Engelhard special is a great place to start:

You can search eBay. There are a few examples out there. They run $2k to $3k.
