The Ancient Coin Collectors Guild can be found at http://www.ancientcoincollecting.com/accg/ The purpose of the guild is to "preserve your right to collect." They fear that laws to protect artifacts from Iraq will be extended to American coins over 100 years old. Among the other activists is...

I'm new to coin collecting.... I've seen several different coin grading companies. Is there some that are more accepted than others? Or are they all the same. When I was at a coin show I saw several coins in plastic covers and they were graded MS67, MS65 etc. at one table that did not...

How do you know if a roll of coins has been bank rolled? I have a number of rolls that I think originated at the bank of a collector (he has a LOT of them). They have the rounded edges and the date/mint stamp. I want to make sure that I am identifying these correctly! A picture of one of...

Have any Iowa quarters appeared in circulation yet? I haven't called the local banks and Credit Union to see if they have or are expecting the coins, but it seems to be "about time."

As usual, I'm trying to keep moisture away from my coins. So, I'm thinking that I should use a tupperware container (with vacuum grease lining the rims to seal it completely) with silica gel, and keep the coins in those 2x2 cardboard flips (the non-PVC ones), which seem more breathable than...

Tried to get through to order the L&C coin and pouch set on the phone with the US Mint and couldn't. I did get order confirmation numbers by ordering through the website but it says the sets are backordered. Can I expect to receive them or do phone orders take precedence over the website orders?...

Hi guys: Forgive me if this is a common question. I have noticed that a half British sovereign and a full sovereign are nearly identical in appearance (except for size). The head is the same, the wording about the head is the same, the obverse is the same, etc. I see pictures on Internet coin...

It has less to do with my finances than the fact that I have changed over the last seven years. Of course, if I had unlimited resources, I could afford my newly acquired tastes, so my income level does have something to do with it. Something has happened over the last few years, though. I do not...
