A guy calls at about 4:30 (we close at 5) and says he has a "few" "old silver dollars" and could he bring them in and have us tell him what they are worth. I ask him a few questions and find out that everyone of them came from circulation "back in the 50's". So I'm thinking common date circulated...

I was just playing around again with Google and Yahoo. Try this: Type in "coins" in Google's search field. First non-sponsored site: U.S. Mint. Second site: About.com's coin and stamp collecting section. Third site: Me. Cool. OK, I know this sounds like bragging. It is. I admit it. Shoot me....

I thought this might interest some US coin collectors. It's an Australian NCLT with a privy mark of Walking Liberty. The item description gives a little more detail. http://www.ebid.com.au/scripts/osa/ViewPage.exe?templateName=item_form.htx&i temNumber=640108 Mame

Did you notice how the obverse design is almost EXACTLY like the proposed Presidential Golden Dollar coin portraits? WAY cool looking. And those two reverses look great as well. -Fred Shecter http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=shreadvector

Hi all, While cleaning out an old bedroom, I uncovered jars and jars of old coins. Old, dirty wheatie pennies, buffalo nickels that are extremely worn (you can barely tell that the animal on the coin is a buffalo at all), and at least $500 in Kennedy half dollars and Eisenhower dollar coins (none...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3930379685 $405 for a $25 Delaware-D mini bag? Yowzers, that's 16 x face value! BU rolls of DE-D are easily had for 2.5 x face. But it gets even more stratospheric. One went last week for $1000, 40 x face!! This one is an RCC'ers auction, not...

I have received a few replies from people who are feed up with my replies on the homo thing. I will never reply to another gay post. It doesn't do any good to anybody. But I must admit, I did have a good time. I will still reply to any subject that is posted that is of interest to me. No more fag...

I bought one set of the 5-coin silver proof set earlier this year and noticed the mint sold out of it. I was watching coin vault (shopathome) and he was showing what I thought was the 5-coin version but then he said he would throw in 5 more silver coins (the quarters) for "free". Is what he showed...

At ten thirty this morning, the mint is unveiling the new nickel designs for next year. I figure this thread would be a good place to discuss them. eric l.

Howdy; I collect MS 65 Franklin half dollars, so my observations are based on this. I collect ONLY brilliant or light overall golden toned coins. Knee jerk (emphasis on "Jerk") reactions - if you wish - but please keep your comments on subject. Some caveats: I have NOT handled thousands of...

I spoke with the gentleman with the complete set of Morgan's last night. He thanked me for our honesty in the offer to by his set. If you remember, another dealer (some shop in Las Vegas, NV) had offered him $600 for the set (I offered over 10X that). He told me that he would sell them to us at...

While in the local grocery yesterday, I ventured past the Coinstar just on the offchance someone had left a surprise for me. As I got closer, I noticed a small plastic cup sitting on top that had a few coins inside. Well, I looked around, saw no one within close proximity and proceeded to dump the...

So the latest mint news makes it seem certain that the Jefferson Nickel, as we knew it 1938-1967 and 1968-2003, is an obsolete design. I hope others have been prompted to do as I have done and rescue the remaining examples before they go the way of the Buffalo, the Passenger Pigeon or the Indian...

At last night's meeting of the Rockford Area Coin Club, it was reported that the coin show scheduled for Sunday is again sold out.
