Do you have a coin that you can't figure out...

...if it was a good deal or a bad deal? I'm not talking about grading. I mean, have you had trouble figuring out what it is, or how rare it is, or what it would sell for if you chose to sell, etc. Tell us about the coin. Maybe someone can help you figure it out.

  • A 1941-S Mercury in PCGS MS66FB... I can tell you, I wouldn't accept anything less than 4 digits for this coin, it's very special to me, and I doubt I would give it up, even then...

    With one exception, my collection is easy to find price/rarity information on. (They're low priced, and low rarity.) image

    The only coin I have that I don't have easy access to $$ information is my VF-20 Fugio. I can look at Red Book, but who knows how accurate that is.

    I don't have a coin like that but down at the local coin shop, the owner has a Washington quarter with a D/D/D mint mark. He won't sell it until he can find a price guide somewhere that will state what it is worth. I've tried a few times to buy it but he won't sell.

  • I have an 1803 half dollar in VF-30 (O-103). It's hard to get price information or auction history for this coin in this grade -- there's a large enough price difference between the published VF and XF prices that it makes me wonder if I got a good deal on this coin and what it might go for if I did sell it (which I'm not planning to).

    What's the date and condition, and I'll give you a value.

    Have an Isle of White ( ? ) copper I bought at auction about 25 years ago that I haven't looked at in years, but if I recall I couldn't find it in Krause.

    I imagine it's an $800 coin, give or take fifty or a hundred bucks.

    The sovereign appears to be a counterfeit.
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    The Isle of Wight is located in Hampshire England. There are three Conder tokens from Isle of Wight, one from the town of Newport, D&H 46 (and it is the only one of the three that actually says Isle of Wight on it.) Two from West Cowles D&H 93, 94. D&H 46 is common unless it has a plain edge. D&H 93 is extremely rare, 94 is common.
