CLAPPY!!! I'm crushed y'didn't ask the ole gold_tutor(aka 0/49r)...

Numismatic is simply a term used to try to indicate that a specific coin has a retail market value higher than intrinsic metal value.

I know PLENTY of worn pre-64 coins that are "numies."
One of my rav fav things to do is to go to the high-falutin' antique shows that circle the USA like dizzy vultures. I always go to the glass case where the goodies are and then cherry pick a wrongly graded old worn USA coin.
I bought a computer printer for the cash difference one time between the "dealers" selling price at the show, and my WHOLESALE flippin' price to a coin dealer. And that was all PRE-eBay<snicker>

Needs to be a two-grade difference to really make it worth the effort tho', in case you are tempted to try it.

Yes, grade..
eggs are graded
spelling tests are graded
coins are graded.

And in the case of coins, "F" is better than an "AG"

Now, aren't you glad you asked?
Howdys to Mrs. Clappy. I know she lurks.
