Benefits of Owning Rare Coins

[purswade69]

Hey Now It really sounds like you know what your talking about sir.

[Fluffie14]

i want to buy some rare coins like key dates and such whats a good place to start im a teen and cant just go buy a early bust dollar or somenthing. Give me your oppinion on what coins are good to start on

[LoneOarman]

Ebay is a good place to become familiar with the lingo and associated sites and such. Double stamped and error coins are also valuable. What I'm seeing is that if you have them graded and sealed, then they are worth much more.

[kingofmasters]

the 1943 are not worth much but if they were copper they would be 82k

[ronburger390]

It's interesting if you click on the YKoz3 link above. It seems he is abusive with many.

In 1943 the cent was struck on a zinc-coated steel planchet rather than the usual 95 percent copper planchet. The United States was involved in World War II and copper was needed for the war effort.The metal content of the cent changed from 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc to a low grade carbon steel base with a zinc coating.

Maybe two dozen -- copper planchets were struck with 1943 dies.

I have 2 1943 silver pennies, one is in almost perfect condition, the other is a bit rusty. Think these are worth anything?

[R3K3R209]

[wiggawiggapullatrigg]

silver 1943 pennies are worth about 50 cent what you want is a copper 1943 penny these a worth alot the most bid on one was like 82,000 dollars

Let's keep comments in a positive vein, please.

[russellcalkins]

I put a chart for you below to help for certified coins only. MS-60 is worth retail at $68.00 Fine (f)$22 Extra fine $32.00 Remember liquidation is approx. 70% of these prices. If you have a nice on you should consider having it or them certified by PCGS, or NGC.

[geckster109]

Could you tell me your definition of a "rare coin"? Seems that rare is a VERY overused word when it comes to numismatics.

[russellcalkins]

rare

A relative term indicating that a coin within a series is very difficult to find. Also, a coin with only a few examples known. A rare Lincoln cent may have thousands known while a relatively common pattern may only have a few dozen known.

rarity

The number of specimens extant of any particular numismatic item. This can be the total number of extant specimens or the number of examples in a particular grade and higher. (This is referred to as condition rarity.)

[geckster109]

So then my 1895 quarter eagle in NGC 62 dress, with a mintage of 6,199 is rare, or no? Seems alot more rare than any '16-D dime, or '09-S VDB.

[russellcalkins]

PCGS Price guide shows the coin that you have is worth APPOX. $700.00

It is truly a rare coin.

A 1916-D DIME IN MS 62 IS APPOX. $15,000.00

IN THE SAME GRADE A 1909-S VDB PENNY IS WORTH $1.600.00 APPOX.

[russellcalkins]

Numismatics (Lat. numisma, nomisma, a coin; from the Greek, derived from voµi eiv, to use according to law), is the scientific study of currency and its history in all its varied forms. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes a much larger study of payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods.

[LauraGalway]

would you recommend buying silver bars? are they easy to trade and sell?

[russellcalkins]

I would. Silver's all time high was above $50.00 per ounce, and now it's $14.43 per ounce. The last time gold was around $800.00 Silver was close to $50.00

nice video. I got into collecting us state quaters. I have like 300 of them. I buy pages on ebay. Hey I was wondering, maybe you should do a video on how to get "start collecting" into coins. Like how to buy pages, how to insert them in binders how to trade etc?" That would be awesome. Thanks!
