I would feel much safer buying a key date coin in an ANACS holder than buying raw. ANACS has a strong reputation and is known for being able to detect counterfeits. PCGS and NGC may have a better reputation, ANACS isn’t total garbage like your post suggests.
I have this coin at home that I would like to know from where it is. I don’t understand the writing on it and can’t see any year on it. It’s gold and have a picture of a pot or an urn on one side and have writing all around the edges on the other side with an O in the middle. To me, it looks maybe indian or greek, but I’m no expert in this. I’ve googled it but can’t find a match. Does anyone know where this coin come from, what it’s called or anything about it? Please write back to me.
got a roll of buffalo nickels !
not so special in USA , but in Holland …
Here’s the thing about plastic & coins:
What you want to avoid are the plastic holders that contain PVC, which, nowadays, are hard to come by. Otherwise, plastic holders are just fine.
I have half a roll of Large Cents from early 1800s, Half Cents, 2-Cent Coin, 3-Cent pieces, – For very old dates – quality isn’t a problem with me. I have some MS-65s from the 30s up, but that’s about as low as my dates go lol for the earlier high quality. I recommend Proof sets for beginner collectors. You can get a 1957 proof set off ebay for under $35 – Totally worth it
@TheZiar I went to my local coin shop and bought 4 for my collection I paid $1.45 each for them though.
i hav a tare fox coin
Wrong. An ANACS graded 1909 S VDB penny is worth much more when not encased by the ANACS grading company since their grading isn’t as trusted as other companies such as NGC or PCGS. Or, take the 1956 proof set: Washington Quarter, Roosevelt Dime, Lincoln Penny, Jefferson Nickel, and Franklin Half Dollar. You might buy it for $60.00. But, you buy the half on its own for $40, the quarter for $20, dime $12, nickel $10, etc.. Breaking the package and selling them separately can make you a profit.
are you suggesting coins were born in plastic cases? Or that the mint places all it’s coins directly into a plastic case? You’re crazy.
Does your uncle also have one of the biggest cawks in Australia? If so, you’re a lucky little boy!
I HAVE A 1880 INDIAN HEAD PENNY
how can you not though. I take the diverse road myself and it makes me happy because i leave one type on to another and so on and so forth. I have a lot more fun taking this road even though it might take more organization and timing. Plus, it helps me expand my knowledge and reach into coins. I only have a small collection for now but I feel I have a good sense of what and what not to do. Happy Collecting!
I’m way to random in my collection. I collect anything silver. i collect world coins but I only have 2 full sets because i lose interest and find another nationality I like. The only ones I’m constantly looking for are Prussian coins and Imperial Russian coins.
I collect coins and my uncle has one of the biggest coin collections in Australia
What the hell is this bullshit? You never should take a coin out of a plastic case if it came that way. Most of the time as soon as you open the case the coin will decrease in value.
you can usually find them at coin shop just ask the employee for some indian coins and they might have them
where or how do you get an indian head penny??
i just started collecting i have 2 coins and there both from te 1800’s ones a 2 cent coin and ones a indian head penny
I’m a collector too. I Have a rather large collection, and I am looking to expand it more seriously..
This is good advice. I’ve been a bit too erratic in my collection.
That’s a good tip at the end because i’ve got some silver coins in plastic casings. Guess i’ll have to transfer them too.
what is a good websit to see the value of coins?
