I need someone with a vast amount of knowledge in modern US coinage. I have some questions regarding a collection that has been offerd to me but it includes roughly 40 or so modern slabbed coins. I know nothing about modern coinage whatsoever so I was hoping someone could PM me and we could discuss these coins if possible.

    Could you please list some of the moderns you are inquiring about?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    It may not be likely that a single person can answer all of your questions, so perhaps you should list the questions in the thread for the board to read and help.

    I agree with the CoT old fogeys who posted above me....
    Some have a general modern knowledge and some have very great, explicit, modern knowledge for some series.....so, if you broke down what denoms you are talking about (ie...Ikes/Sacs/Wash Quarters/Lincolns/etc), that could help.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    The trouble with most modern coins is that they have be very high grade to be worth very much money. Even a PR-69 D-Cam is a cull of sorts to many collectors. Beyond that if the coins have been given a high grade it takes an expert eye and personal examination to really determine if the grade is correct. Photos usually don't cut it.

    Sorry to be so negative, but this is an area where small differences can make huge differences in price. And if they are among "the chosen," you need to find a dealer who can market them. Not all dealers are into the modern coin market.

    Or, I will bash them all indiscriminately in one tidy PM. image

    When he mentioned moderns, I was thinking clad and/or NCLT all the way. Moderns are way too broad an area to consider one person to be expert in all.

    I would slot Keets into the Jefferson hole, BTW.

    How could I forget Al and his love affair with Jefferson? image

    Clad would be a great resource for the more modern stuff in just about all series -- good point!

    Your best bet for pricing is likely from Teletrade completed auctions. And Ebay (maybe).

    That's the extent of my modern expertise. image
