think of! Let''s take a brief look at these five areas, and how cameo''s rate in relation to other U.S. coinage. There are few coins in numismatics as attractive as a cameo proof.

the lottery. on the other hand, mint errors such as doubled dies, overstrikes, etc., are often not easily seen with the naked eye collectors consider grading perhaps the single most important factor in the realm of coins. this important feature pops up everywhere - in deciding which coin to buy at a show, in upgrading your collection, in buying by mail. and grading can be frustrating, because it''s entirely subjective. a beautiful proof (mirror-like finish, limited edition) 2001 american silver eagle 1 oz. coin, in a presentation box. 2001 clad proof set, ten coins (5 state quarter quarters and sacagawea dollar too!). brilliant uncirculated 2001 "p" and "d" mint sacagawea dollars. get both brand-new dollars today!!! 2001 american silver eagle, uncirculated, 1 troy oz. silver. add this beautiful coin to your collection. we offer all 26 (del. thru ri p&d) uncirculated state quarter rolls, in bank or shrink wrap (our choice) for a limited time not at our usual $565 price, but at a very low special of under $20 per roll average!!! complete set of uncirc. 1 oz. silver coins. all 16 coins minted so far (1986-2001), plus a dansco supreme album (with plenty of room for future coins). same price as last louisiana year . .
