Accidentally sent to abpn -- let's try again I have been checking some of my 2000 silver mint sets today. There are several coins that are toning, mainly the dimes and Sacs. The toned Sacs look especially ugly with copper spots cropping up on the polished surfaces. A few of the quarters are also...

Some years ago this appeared in rec.collecting.books. It was posted on rec.collecting.coins at that time but is worth repeating after four or five years. RWJ A GUIDE TO EBAY TERMS

I have searched my ISP,Google and webcrawler and found nothing for the NG alt.binary.pictures.numismatic. What am I missing? Thanks

If you are interested in watching a ~5 minute television report, in German, about coins and collectors in Austria ... here you go: http://www.2-Euro.net/Forum/eco.wmv (not my site) The file (Windows Media, about 25 MB) is from a 3sat documentary; it shows old men collecting old coins ;-) but also...

In the collection that I referred to previously, there are two odd coins. One says it is a 1995 ONE HALF POUND GOLDEN EAGLE (on the coin itself). It is in almost perfect condition, no fingerprints or other marks on it, and the features are very distinct. The other says is dated 1922, is a ONE...

OK, I'll be honest with y'all. These are my rejects. I want 66s; I didn't always get them. Ya win some, ya lose some. Pays yer money, takes yer chances. Anyways, here you go -- all start at face value with no reserve. I'm guessing a few of them may never go above face. 1999-P DE DELAWARE QUARTER...

OK, stuff like birth years and kid's birth years is obvious. But are there any other years in coinage that intrigue you for some reason? One such year for me is 1834. One of my many side collections is to try to put together a "poor man's" King of Siam set. The King of Siam set is currently for...

Let's see... I have a few old cigar boxes here... I have a bunch of old coins here... I have the skills to write a compelling story about a dilapidated trunk that was found in a musty old barn, which I could trace back to my great-great grandfather. Whaddya think, amigos? Via some auctions offered...

I had the editor of my local paper ask me a question about the Mint's estimate of the new collectors since the start of the State Quarter program. She asked if those collectors are moving on to collect other types of coins. So, I am asking basically the same question to collectors who started with...
