Hanukkah Gelt is pretty easy. Kids like anything. You can give them Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, and Indianhead cents in little bags and you have given them "ancient" history as far as they are concerned. You can buy packs of mixed foreign banknotes for $5, $10, and $20 from ads in CW and NN....

Dang... that is just too much. I saw a few items that interested me in an Early American auction but the opening bid along with the 20% buyers fee.... well forget it. Has anyone bought coins or anything else in an Ebay "live" auction? Are they trying to discourage people from bidding?

I bought some ancient coins from ebay and some have very thick blue or green smooth patina... and my neighbor gave me some w/ crusty white patina... What do you suggest for cleaning these? I doubt these coins are worth very much, I'm just starting this hobby and having fun cleaning through the...

Does anyone know the highest price for which a single coin has sold on ebay? I'm not talking about the highest reserve or minimum, but the highest hammer price. Does ebay keep any stats on that?

Today's my birthday (Sunday) and I was given (among other things) a small stack of Series 2001 CU $1 Notes from District 9/I - Fort Worth variety. More than I need, I have a few extras. Anyone still need any of these? 8-/ Coin Saver

Anyone here know anything about this test? There is a Jefferson Nickel that dates 1946- D that has this test done to it. The following is all I know about it. ALAN HERBERT IN HIS MONUMENTAL WORK "PRICE GUIDE TO MINT ERRORS" PUBLISHED IN 2002 DESCRIBES A HARDNESS-TEST-MARKED PLANCHET AS "A...

Found this today, the 1973 bimetallic Republic of Minerva coin. It's the 30 year anniversary of that example of 1970s excess. I sweetly recall those ads for it in CoinAge magazine: http://tinyurl.com/xfvl

So I bought the brown box proof Ikes from the gubmint when I was 14 years old (!). I left them in their original packaging so of course they developed the blue haze. Now, is this haze actually destructive to the coin? Or could it eventually turn into a neat blue toning? Should I get them out of...

So tonight I'm sitting in the managers office doing some paper work and the Customer Service girl calls me and says she has a funny looking quarter (they all know I'm a collector). I think she says it's a 1960 and is it ok to take it. I tell her yes and wander up to the front to take a look. ...

I have just SOLVED the RCC Token Mystery !!! I don't remember anyone stating that they had solved this mystery, butt then again, I don't get all posted messages, either. Today is my birthday. One of my gifts opened my eyes wider than the giver expected, because THERE IT WAS, intact in it's...

After 11 months and 7 days (and WAY TOO MANY banks) of looking for a roll of 2003 dimes I found one tonight! I ordered a sandwich from Subway at the local mall and got 22 cents change. Both dimes were clean 2003P's. I asked the girl at the register if she had a roll in the drawer I could buy for...

Sorry if this is old news, I saw it in the local paper today but the press release is a week old http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&ID=469 it seems there are a few people here that would be naturals for this program. Dave

I was watching Robert Chambers on Coin Vault this morning and think his show should have a disclaimer before going to commercial. "This show is for entertainment purposes only". Do people really buy his merchandise? Are they that misinformed (read stupid)? How does this guy sleep at night?

Just listed a bunch of Mint and Proof sets on Ebay, including a special edition Unc. set issued by the 1964 NYC World's Fair. ALso A Geo Washington Half (both unc and proof). All in original packaging. See them...

We're in a bit of a lull here on L.I.-about 6 inches on the ground right now (5:30 am) but a blizzard warning issued for the rest of the day until 10 pm tonight. Metro traffic and weather is advising everyone to stay inside unless absolutely neccessary,but they obviously don't take into account...
