Hey guys, I'm fairly new to collecting and have been getting into varieties via old copper. However, I guess I'm a sheep and have been starting to look at nickels due to the new designs and have a few questions. 1) Is there a good book for jefferson nickel varieties? I have the Breen Half-cent...

No it's not for sale! It's what I paid last weekend at the semi-annual book sale from the Seattle Public Library. It's in perfect condition, doesn't look like it was ever used. RCCers should check their local library sales for such bargains. *** Posted via a free Usenet account from...

I'm just a numismatic newbie and i'm italian. I just want to ask which is a good price to buy a NCG MS70 10$ Platinum Eagle 2002. I saw on the PCGS price guide and it says that this coin is worth 1550$. How much could a NGC MS70 be worth? Thank you Vincenzo

I opened up a safety deposit box that has been closed up for the past three years to see what it was that I was protecting. These coins were pulled out of circulation and housed in 2X2's. What a surprise to see a lot of junky clad coins that were worn, stained, damaged from the mint and common...

A few collectors have told me that I should get rolls and bags of circulated coins and spend my casual time lookign through them for any thing that stands out... they really didnt go into details, and Im still too new to really know what exactly I should be looking for other than the obvious wheat,...

The mailman just handed me another package from The Pope. The two 2 Euro 2005 "World Youth Day" Commemoratives. These were I think the first Pope Benedict coins, although his image is not on them. Here's how slow the UFN is. I mailed the order form to them (and shot a picture of it, since...

Im new to collecting... and have been wondering about something... Why are single coins worth more than a mint set (or proof) of that same year? For example, PCGS lists the 1979 mint set as valued at $9. But if I look up a 1979P SBA Dollar, its listed at $25 for a MS64 and 1979D at $15 for MS64.

I searched and can't find vam info except the random auction links. Is there a good page with descriptions of the "popular" or valuable vams, ideally with pictures also? My interest is casual and I don't have many morgans so I can't see buying 'the book'. Comments, criticism??? Thanks

I've usually been picking up about 4 rolls at the bank (Bank One now Chase) about once a week. I separate the SBAs from the GDs and use the GDs for change. I normally don't look at each coin to see what year it is, however if there is one that's unusually shinny I always give it a quick look. By...

A starter wheat collection on eBay which ends May 1st.

From time to time, my server downloads old messages that I have previously read and deleted. Sometimes, there could be a hundred or more of these old messages. HELP suggested that I select the deletion of all messages that are older than three days. When I tried that, I lost all the...

I'd like to ask a favor...a small survey for another newsgroup that I frequent. If some replies come in, I'll explain the reason later. Please reach in your pocket and pull out all of the change there and tell me how much silver you have in your pocket right now. Not the denominations or the...

I'm relatively new to the art of coin collecting; I collected as a kid, then got out of it when adolescence set. Recently I inherited my grandfather's coin collection, which has resparked my interest. He doesn't have anything that's really valuable, but he does have a mostly complete set of...
