    80% of the people that respond to my ad to purchase old coins have no idea what constitutes old.

    The "dealers" on eBay who sell $1,000.00 post mint "modern errors" (ie: a glued 'doubled die' zinc cent) are the same guys who pull their pants and underwear all the way down at the urinal.

    Apparently he never heard of the 1995-W Proof ASE. :D

    Well sure i have, PH.If memory serves, the mintage was 30,000. Do you really want to assign a multi thousand dollar valuation on a non scarce issue.

    Better example might be the common silver Washingtons graded MS 68. Some commanded $15,000 valuations. That is quickly melting.

    I would have to reconsider the 32-s and 32-s coins in higher grades. Few purchases though in the last 15 years have been a win.
