Thanks to Mr. R.W. Julian by
Amistad
I just recently became the happy owner of a good number of back issues of
"Numismatist" magazine. The first article that I read from end to end was a
wonderful piece about the history of half dollars, written by R.W. Julian.
Very well done, and very informative! If you have the December 2006...

WTB: Steelie cents by
Amistad
Hi folks,
One of my chief enjoyments within the realm of numismatics has been the
giving away of "steelies" here and there. I like to put them in a 2x2,
print on it a bit about the great need for copper in WWII, and mention that
this is the only steel coin ever produced by the U.S. Mint. Most...

Movie & TV Stuff at Awesome Prices! by

Oh, now I see. This at first appeared to be unwanted spam with nothing
germane to a group promoting the pleasure and enjoyment of numismatics. But
then there at the end is the mention of "99 cents" that we were all hoping
to see...

Forerunner of the "First Strike" frenzy? by

Friend, can you believe it? by

*does not* say "This coin would make a great addition to your

Nebraska "P" Quarter by
Amistad
Like many of you, I have a couple State Quarter albums that I'm methodically
filling as the coins are released. I just noticed that I somehow missed
getting the Nebraska "P" coin. I have a box here where I have kept a number
of virtually uncirculated quarters for the past few years. Perhaps I...

PING: Joe Schell by

My several emails have brought about no response from you, which makes me
think that you may not have received (or seen) them. My concern is
regarding the payment that I sent to you. Please let me know here whether
or not you have received payment via snail mail. I'd rather send payment

Beginner's luck? by
Amistad
A thread the other day mentioned some enthusiasts who delight in weighing
the 1982 cents that they come across. Different comments from others
numismatists were posted regarding the activity of weighing these coins.
Well, I just now spotted a 1982 cent in my pocket change, and thought "what

My apologies to the seller... by

Bartering and Trading by

An interesting event took place on the last day of school in my youngest
grandson's class. (He's 11.) His teacher had discovered a hummingbird's
nest in her yard and brought it to show the class. She decided to draw names
and give the nest to the winner. A girl won it, and after class, my...

Happiness "on the cheap!" by

Howdy, folks!
I've mentioned here before the little "show & tell" bag that I carry with me
most all the time. I derive a great deal of enjoyment from showing the
contents to various people that I meet along the way, mostly kids, but
adults too, at times. It's great fun to hear them "oooh" and...

My palms are clammy and my pulse is racing! by
Amistad
When it comes to "rare" coins within the world of numismatics, the 1804
dollar is surely one of the leading specimens that makes a serious
numismatist ponder it with awe and admiration. Coupled with that sensation,
a high-grade coin minted in Carson City and sporting the vaunted "CC" mint
mark...

Vies for most confused... by

I wonder if the seller actually logged on and read this Description after he
listed the auction? If he did, perhaps he is trying to be "cute-sy" with
it. Whaddya think?
