Grading Companies - 3 new
-------------------------
...Indeed. Several of the Victorian and Edwardian coins I assembled came right
out of my local dealer's $1 box, including a VF Victoria silver 5 cent and a F
Edward quarter. The cutoff date for this collection is 1967 (the end of the
silver era). Of course the later date coins are in even better condition (EF-
AU). - Fri, Mar 20 2009 6:15 am

Is "Sealed mint box" a big joke? - 2 new
----------------------------------------
I have bought quite a few modern US uncirculated sets, both from eBay sellers
selling as 'sealed mint box' and directly from the mint. What I have found is
that nearly all of the sealed mint box eBay purchases have had sub-par, highly

percent Kennedys), I've found two of those trick/ magician's coins. One has

Rarity of clover-holed tokens - 1 new
-------------------------------------
...The clover is one of several standard punches. I do not know Alaskan tokens,
but I placed an educational exhibit on coal mine tokens. Tokens could be made
this way at the factory or punched later. The point was to have a control.
With coal mines, there could be different towns and even if the stores were
