If you need all the mint and proof sets for 2000 (5 coin state qtr; regular proof and silver proof sets) for one money, there's about a day and a half left at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3913356983 Thanks for taking the time to look. Ric B. http://www.numist.com

I'm just curious, as I was quoted in an article on searching bags of coins from local banks back in the summer of 1974. I'd like to someday find a copy of the article, but I don't have the date/issue of the Coin World paper it was in. Does anyone know if old articles are archived anywhere (not...

I have in my posession an East India Company 1 cent coin dated 1845 with a Ceylon style Queen Victoria bust, but cannot find it in any catalogues I have, all the other East india coins I have or can find are anna/rupee types, does anyone have any info? Thanks in advance! Colin

I lost power for 2 days last week due to a "duratio" severe thunderstorm. Or they also call that a squall line. 41,000 ppl. had no power for about 3 days. 10 to 15 mini-tornados--none hit the ground but they were yanking up 100+ year old trees all over. They never set off the tornado warning...

Check out my post over on ABPN regarding the 3 Niobium coins I received today from Wah Chang. Excuse the large photos. I tried to make them smaller, but I couldn't figure out how to get them any smaller than they are now all merged into one. Mark

I thought that story on the SAQ dollar being popular in Ecuador was very interesting. I think the US should scrap the rag dollar and just issue coins.

Yes, my statistics have now been seriously compromised by reality. Today I exchanged a new $5 FRN (serial number and issue date unnoted and unimportant! : take THAT rec.collecting.paper-money! (aka Shinplasters and those who love love them.)) for 500 Alleged Lincoln Cents in Customer...

Has the composition of the nickel changed in the last couple of years? I compared the sounds when "flipping" both a 2004 with the new Louisiana Purchase reverse and a 2001 nickel. The 2001 has a ring to it, while the 2004 is more of a "thud".

I have similar feelings. For me, the half is the *original*. The SAE is a "remake" and it is just not as attractive. I agree that reproductions are never as attractive as originals, and I collect both series! My SAEs are all MS/PF 69s, though, and my Walkers are--well--not all MS. Regards, Tom

I'm still paying for my recent trip to Sicily/Italy, but I couldn't resist buying this beauty. Wayne Sayles describes this coin from Sinope as "a beautiful work of art." I agree. :-) http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=773&large=0 Anka ---- AOL albums of my photos...

I have about a dozen of Franklins with FBL I'd like to get graded. Which service would you send your Franklins in to get graded? I recently read a statement by Tomaska that quote: "FBL coins as requiring both sets of lines to be complete, while PCGS requires ONLY the LOWEST set to be...

Howdy, friends! I was just thinking about the different things that we find attractive within the realm of numismatics. And how one person collects something that another has little or no interest in. As for me, I think the Walking Liberty Half is one of the most beautiful coins ever struck! I'm a...
