We sold a group of these a while back, and they were very popular. We managed to acquire 3 more...I actually got to pick the best three out of 20 or so, and they're up on eBay now. Fully original 1957 Double Mint Sets with beautiful, dramatic multicolor toning. Two have the original mailing...

I thought the ANA finances were in good shape. Apparently not. Are there dues increases or increases in convention table fees in the future?

I remember reading that the legality of some of the Sacagawea mule coins was in question. From what I read, some of the coins were smuggled out of the mint, while others got out legitimately. Has that issue been resolved? Mark

One of the positive things that people do here and in other online discussion groups is share information. Web sites are good for that too, better in some ways in that the information is more easily accessible later, more permanent, and typically better linked to pictures. Web publishing is...

I fully believe that all ANA issues should be discussed out in the open and not behind closed doors before the meeting. Now, go ahead and show me what is wrong with that statement, because iI firmly believe that a free discussion that explores all possiblities is necessary to prevent making...

Certainly didn't take people long to give it a try. Details on CNN Money website. http://www.cnn.com

I was just looking this up for a post in alt.obituaries, but found something on-topic here as well. These are the FedEx rules for shipping stuff: http://www.fedex.com/us/services/express/termsandconditions/us/prohibiteditems.html?link=4 Prohibited Items You are prohibited from tendering the...

Hopefully there is someone out there that will be able to help me. I am doing research on the Cleveland sculptor, Steven A. Rebeck (1891-1975). Among many of the things he did was to make a number of commemorative coins for the Heraldic Art Company of Cleveland. Among the coins he made were the...

Several of you e mailed me and several more posted to the group. To each, I would like to say "Thanks." Took the advice offered, and went back to find another item. First attempt with suggestions won me a nice 1887 S, $10.00 gold coin, at the price I might add, that I was willing to pay. Thanks to...

Thanks again to all of you who helped me with my auction listings for the Morgan dollars. The first 42 sold just great! I still have about 60 unslabbed Morgans but I'm going to move on to the other coins for awhile. Just got the 1892 Columbian half and 1867 Nickel (rays/shield). I'll be putting...

Is there such a thing? I saw an eBay auction offering an entire set of Am. Eags (SAE) but used the term Business strike. I am at a loss here. Dr Phil, please help I lurk and learn and thank the masses

Hi Folks, I am not a coin collector, however my Great Grand dad was (I think). I just happened to hit his stash while removing old old stuff. I have about 40-50 copper coins. Mostly from late1800s to early 1900s. Most of these coins are from India when it was under Britsh rule. My history is not...
