Q. Hi Marc. My father was a real coin collector from the olden days. I just found a bunch of rolls of uncirculated presidential $1 coins in a beautiful box. What do you think? Thanks. Heidi

 We purchased 10,000 of them from another “real coin collector“ one year ago and listed them for sale. This morning we decided to end the listings and use them to spend on groceries and parking meters.

Q. Sorry if this gets a little long. I have a $5 Gold Canadian maple leaf DDO. The coin has been graded and Attributed by NGC. There were 80,000 coins struck. This coin is also the discovery coin, and as of today is one of one. So I bet you think I'm gonna ask what's it worth, but I'm not. I want to know how to determine the rarity, and if the coin is desirable by collectors. Also here is the cert number. 6898298-001 MS 67. Thank you for your time. Ed ps the coin is a very strong class IV DD. Regards Ed .

The only thing you will “discover” is there is misinformation posted all over the Internet by those with a financial interest in making you think minor die hub doubling increases the value of anything. Be glad you have an ounce of gold and I’m sorry you’re out the grading fee.
