How does this happen? New to the coin collecting hobby, and even newer to eBay. Several times, I have bid on coins, and shown as top bidder, only to have been outbid in the last couple of seconds by someone that has not been in the bidding process until the last second. I have waited until less...

Now you can take great pride and joy in owning the complete collection of the Year 2000 Sydney Olympics coin collection. This includes the entire collection: GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE coins. GOLD and SILVER come in capsulated and mounted in beautiful wood display cases. BRONZE coins are bound in a...

How many of each design of the 2004 nickels will be minted? It looks to me that it will be rather small, making the coins just a collator's item, rather a circulation coin. Tony

I was just wondering if any of you have some tips for taking digital pics of proof coins. I tried it myself, and I must have taken 50 pics before I got anything decent... (no, this is no sales pitch, I am just wanting info to help me become a better photographer..) Here is a auction I have going,...

I was thinking of sending to PCGS a few CC morgans in PCI & ICG holders. I know they will slab em if they are the same grade or higher, but will they slab if they think its a lower grade. Example: I have a MS65 in a PCI holder, which if PCGS feels is a MS64 or MS63 will they do it? I'd take the...

I have recently inherited a coin collection. I will likely eventually sell most of it. Someone here suggested that I post a list of what I have here,out of general interest and possible offers. I do so now. This list is not comprehensive,as there are quite a few that I either have no intention of...

A while back, one of the coin mags did an article illustrating the original design of the golden dollar with the "Disneyfied" end result. Did anyone ever mint the original design as a coulda-been novelty or token? It was one of the most beautiful engravings I have ever seen, and I would love to...

You guys and gals know everything so, as usual I came here to ask all my OT questions. I just found out last week that we pay NO sales tax on the purchase of a newspaper? I never knew this, anyone know why? Is it just in NYS ? Weird to me. Thanks Doris Australian Milk Producers...

On the 54th day of the trade, 4 other wheaties came from Steve . Thus ends the saga of molasses in October!!!-Ken

Does the mint still make these? When did they first start and if they ended it when was that? So much collector stuff has come out of the mint over the past 20+ years its hard to keep track of it.

OK....i'm biased. I'm focused on the RCC crowns, but the other coins don't seem to be moving the way they were intended to either!!! So....(in relation to my main focus) this is a gentle nudge for the person who is currently `hosting' (but failing to pass along) the rcc pair of crowns. The spirit...

I have recently inherited a fairly large selection of various proof sets of coinage around the world. Most are mint coins,but quite a lot of various commemorative sets,bi- centenial,space shuttle,presidents ect also. Am a man of many hobbies,but coin collecting is not one of them. Was wondering...

I have not asked at the bank for any Ikes for some time now. Today I did and guess what she had some. First I asked the merchant teller if she ever got any Ike dollars in. She said she had some in her drawer and asked how many I wanted. I said I would take them all and she counted out 16 of them....

I listed a few more. I'm almost totally out of the 2002 and the 2003 GDs. I might just have to save what's left for myself! I wonder if they will make 2004 for general circulation? I guess that depends upon the inventory level at the Fed.... -- -Fred...
