packaging used for these earlier coins, it almost seems a miracle that any high quality cameos from the 1950 to 1970 era exist at all! The finest cameos, being early strikes off proof dies, are quite simply "the best of the best", for they are not only struck from proof dies, the finest possible dies, but are struck from those dies when they are in their coin collecting value most pristine, unworn state! there could not be a more striking difference between one coin of these first cameo strikes, and between a coin struck much later off the die - a brilliant proof. if one did not know better, one would think that the two coins were struck from two completely different dies! in a sense, they were. more correctly, they were both struck from the same die, but one coin was struck before that die had experienced the wearing effect of 100''s of tons of pressure of metal on metal, and one coin was struck after that die had experienced coin collecting value those wearing effects. the opportunity of owning scarce, attractive coins that also are the ultimate in quality for their era has a very special appeal to collectors. it also gives these coins tremendous "upside" potential, as it very hard to pay too much for coins that offer the collector the uncirculated roll of 20 1890 philadelphia (no mint mark) morgan dollars uncirculated roll of 20 1889 philadelphia (no mint mark) morgan dollars uncirculated roll of 20 1898 philadelphia (no mint mark) morgan dollars. a roll of uncirculated clad washington quarters from the 1970s (our choice of dates - roll will be all same date). ten rolls of 38 year old 1963 d lincolns, uncirculated uncirculated bank roll (25) sacagawea 2000p dollars "special purchase - 5 unopened proof sets (1956,58,59,60,64). rare in this condition. (return policy applies only if still unopened, as that''s the rarity of these items). 1960s may be large or small date-who knows??" certified (slabbed) 1956 franklin half dollar, certified (slabbed) 1962 franklin half dollar certified (slabbed) 1963 coin franklin half dollar morgan dollars were minted from 1878 until 1904. during world war i, many silver dollars were melted, and congress ordered the supply to be replenished after the war. there''s a modern rarity which coin collecting value you may find in the change in your pocket. many people may remember the hearing about the 1943 coin copper penny, which is worth many thousands of dollars, but the chances of finding one are about the same as winning
