numismatic simply means coin collection item there are highgrade numies, like StGauden beauties anything uncirculated is really considered highgrade it is like cars a mint shape 1995 BMW will command high price an old 1960 Chevy TurboGlide in decent shape will also bulk silver old coins are technically not numies that is lowest item on their food chain brilliant uncirculated StGaudens or Morgan Silvers are the top there is collector caviar, and collector BigMacs they are all numismatics nobody can take my complete Franklin HalfDollars away they are only in VeryGood condition nor take away my bag of 200 Liberty HalfDollars they are only in Good condition my numies, gotta love em / jim

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. g_t
