New Nickel or dollar coin... by
Grandpa
Just read the Sept issue of CoinAGE and noted all the hoopla about a new
nickel(s), and possibly a dollar coin for MLK & commeratives etc. It
left me wondering why if they are serious about honoring MLK, they'd
consider it with a memorial (which would not be circulated) or with a
change to the...

Retaliatory Negative -- a bummer by
Larry Louks
Hi Friends,
I thought long and hard about leaving this unscrupulous seller a neg,
suspecting that he would give me one in retaliation. It literally makes me
sick that he is able to do this, but I've now joined the ranks of others of
you who have been unfairly zapped with same.
His neg to...

See Neapolis and die by
Ankaaz
In my quest for the most beautiful coins of Southern Italy and Sicily, I've
come across several from ancient Neapolis, but they were either too pricey or
very worn. Today I found the perfect coin from Naples:

Ayn Rand by
Michael E. Marotta
I study numismatics because of Ayn Rand. Thirty-five years ago, in the
11th grade, another political conservative handed me ANTHEM. After
that, I read THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. I then signed up
for a taped lecture series, "Principles of Objectivism" and bought
more of her books. I had...

Edison Commemorative vs. Atheism by
Bob Flaminio
It seems a bit incongruous that the Federally mandated legend "In God We
Trust" be displayed so prominently on the Edison commemorative, given
that Edison was by most accounts an atheist. Quoth the inventor:
God? God? A Supreme Being, sitting on a throne and commending human
individuals to...

Rounding at the Supermarket by
Phil DeMayo
About a half hour ago I was out running errands and swung by the supermarket to
pick up a few items. The total for my order was $6.01and caused me to wince as
I knew I had no change in my pocket.
Sooooo, I handed the cashier a $10 bill and after he entered the amount
received I was surprised to...

I Succumbed To Commem Fever by
Larry Louks
Hi Folks,
Many thanks to those of you who have helped me in my quest to learn more
about being exposed to, and infected with, that numismatic malady commonly
known as "commemorative fever." There have been numerous posts here about
it. Testimonies abound as to how some individuals, though exposed,...

Netherlands: The End of the Cent? by
Christian Feldhaus
Should the Dutch do away with the 1 and 2 cent coins? According to
today's Algemeen Dagblad (AD) there are plans in the Netherlands to
follow the Finnish example.
In Finland, if you make a purchase and pay cash, the total amount will
be rounded up or down to x.y0 or x.y5 - which is also what the...

Should the Smithsonian sell their duplicates? by
Cliff
I've asked this question before and have never really been swayed by
either argument. We know that our nation has a pretty hefty deficit.
Also we know that the Smithsonian is always looking to expand and
bring in new things. We also know that they have duplicates of many
of the coins now on...

New Nickels being recalled! by
Bob Flaminio
Apparently the depiction of tobacco use paraphrenalia on the new nickel
(ostensibly a "peace pipe") has raised the ire of certain anti-smoking
groups, forcing the government to recall all the new nickels recently
released.
(hey, someone's gotta start these rumors, right?)

Let this be a warning to you by
Reid Goldsborough
From poking around a bit ... Counterfeiting has been a serious crime
through history. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was typically
punishable by death, though if an aristocrat were caught he might have
merely been exiled. Later, in Middle Age Europe, various punishments
for counterfeiters were...
