Hi everyone, I had an interesting experience recently with identifying some coins. My friend Heidi, who knows I collect coins, said her (late) grandfather had brought back various old, maybe ancient, coins from his foreign travels and asked if I might be able to identify them. I said I would be...

Okay, I have some news to report (even for those who don't care) I sent this letter, along with my three legislation bills: To the President of NAMA, Hi,

didn't see it come through first time, so I will resend markansas859 wrote: Bill Krummel wrote: "markansas859" wrote in message news:1109730036.0f63480ad13b8998c3391d63fd909a9e@teranews... I am a beginner in coins, but I have listed these nice examples on ...

Hey all, I'm getting a returning interest in coins after about 6 years away from the hobby. I started collecting and learning back in 1997/1998ish, and used to read rcc back around that time, probably through 2000/2001. I was all of 12 years old when I started collecting (I'm only 19 now). ...

Ok, I might be driving you nutts, but where else would I go. Comments. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4182&item=3046083702 Steve Gill RCC Member # ? http://www.geocities.com/sgill1000/My_page.html

I was invited to give a talk on coins by and area bank this past Friday. This bank puts on little events for their customers, and in the past had sponsored an "antiques roadshow" event where people could find out about their treasures, and this was to be the same sort of thing, only with coins. I...

http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=506102 I shot the picture at the top of the page. Had a friend post it with a made-up story. Waited to see what the reaction was. Then scroll down a bit and you'll see my posting where I explain the whole thing. It was, umm, an...

See www.dewardt.net/uno.html Thanks to those who helped, including the google search and old google books. Click on the obverse picture to see a much better coin. TheDimeMan

My wife (who has a fondness for slots) and son went to Vegas for about three days. My son is 18, can't gamble there yet, and shows no interest in doing so (thank God) but wanted to see the sights. I have no interest in LV or gambling (been there, done that) so I stayed home and went to work...

It seems that my son has a new interest. He is eight and has a knack for collecting stuff. His grandfather bought him a variety of old coins. I put them in sleeves and made a velcrow display fram to hang them on in his room. Well now he wants me to buy him more, but I don't know really much...

OK, I posted a while back about how my sons grandfather gave him a few old coins. Well that led to a nice discussion and a few of the folks in this group actually sending him some wheat pennies. We both really appreciated that and he has a nice collection going. So I've been searching coin rolls...

I want to tell you all the story of my finding a buried treasure. When I was 16 years old (1972) I worked part-time at a grain elevator here in Texas. One of the buildings there was simply spare parts and junk storage. One day I was cleaning up a bit and I found 5 old gumball machines on one...

Thanks to Dave Hinz for the cool 1816 Large Cent! Looks like a nice F- VF ...

hey Eric Babula, thanks so very much for my RCC swap ! I received today my first Barber half, quarter and dime. You see, since I told Eric that I had yet to have one of these beauties, he went out and got me one of each! What a guy. Now he's made me a poorer man, well, gonna be at least, since...

This was, to say the least, an interesting show. The perspective this is from is that of a dealer that mostly sells "collector" coins. Circulated Indian Cents and Buffalos, Lincolns cents, Morgan and Peace Dollars. Prices ranging from less than a buck to over $10,000. However the vast...

Okay this is a subjective list... I like these bassists because most of them play awesome leads or have created some elegant bassline 01. John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) 02. Chris Squire (Yes) 03. Lemmy Kilmister (Hawkwind) 04. Geddy Lee (Rush) 05. John Entwistle (The Who) 06. Geezer Butler (Black...

Folks, Thanks for everyone's help on my trade dollar. Now I have discovered a new issue - is it Type I or Type II? It would seem that the obverse has elements of both: No index figure and ribbons below "LIBERTY" facing sharp left = Type I, but separation between the "s" and "t" in "trust" = Type...

This one will be a bit different. I want all of you to decide who should receive these. 1 to 3 people or 3 to one person, it's up to all of you. I hope I get people to respond.Hmmmmm??? I was going thru some foreign notes in our collection. I ran across 3 notes from Viet Nam. 1- 5, 1- 10 and 1-...
