Who knows any organization in or near Idaho that can verify the authenticity of a 17th century Spanish Silver Cob? I'm just curious, because as much as I'd like to say it was real, I can't until i have a little paper "Certificate of Authenticity." Any ideas? ]]> Introductions joe_schmoe_64 http://www.cointalk.com/t79569/ http://www.cointalk.com/t79554/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:44:47 GMT I am interested in purchasing Minnesota DDR #'s 13, 14, 25, 26, 28, 35, 58, 60, 61, & 62.

The coin is a 1973 Lincoln Penny, but the strange thing about it is it has the state of Ohio with OH within the state stamped on the front of the coin above the date in front of Lincoln's face. Does anyone know anything about this coin? ]]> Introductions timmy275 http://www.cointalk.com/t79464/ http://www.cointalk.com/t79403/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:17:22 GMT My name is Stewart Huckaby. I'm first and foremost a collector, and I've been collecting since I first saw my great aunt's bag of junk silver with all the really cool old coins 40 years ago. I collect, well, almost anything (except gold most of the time), although I suppose if you had to nail me down to one specialization it would be seated dimes and half dimes.

I've been a member of coin clubs since the early seventies, almost continuously, and I've held most of the officer positions at one point or another.

Like I mentioned above, I'm first and foremost a collector. I'm not a dealer, but I do work for one, and the dealer I work for is Heritage Auctions, who most likely needs no further introduction. Most of my work is with the website, but I do occasional coin cataloging (which means I get to see some really, really cool coins!), more than occasional coin catalog editing, and every once in a while I'll even call an auction.

I'm more than happy to listen to any comments, concerns, complaints, or compliments you might have; drop me a PM if you like. ]]> Introductions swhuck http://www.cointalk.com/t79403/ http://www.cointalk.com/t79394/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:57:58 GMT Hi all;

I'm interested in adding to my collection from the 40's to today. I live on the West Coast so it is difficult to find Philadelphia mints. Would anyone like to trade circlated Philadelphia mints for circulated Denver mints? I don't want to buy modern era coins that should be easy to find.

Thanks

Want to let those of you who know me from my past posting here at CT that Thalia Elizabeth and I have returned from a summer break from coin collecting.

There were a lot of Multiple Competing Priorities over the summer, and coupled with a less than optimal reaction to my 1000th post contest here and my winding down and transition away from my officer role in the local coin club, I thought it best to step away from the hobby for a spell.

Those Multiple Competing Priorities continue of course, but I did get to one show this fall (our clubs). I don't expect to be as active here as I was earlier, but I will now have the opportunity to look in on CT every so often.

And I'm looking forward to putting some more fun into things. Thalia Elizabeth is still collecting coins with Queen Elizabeth II on them and she even has an Elizabeth I coin now as well. I've decided to narrow my own focus a bit in the meantime. My primary hobby remains model railroading and I'm still writing the column referenced in my handle.

Now, to catch up on some reading... ]]> Introductions umtrr-author http://www.cointalk.com/t79380/ http://www.cointalk.com/t79344/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:20:53 GMT Hi.

I have a soft spot for low grade draped bust silver coinage, particularly the dimes (1798-1807) and half dimes from 1800-1805. My budget keeps me buying in the level below VG (unless damaged) for those coins. Most of what I buy is raw. I very seldom ever see anything other than the 1800 half dime in that series offered at grade levels below VF, and after several years, begin to wonder if any such coins, at the good level, exist. ]]> Introductions samsara15 http://www.cointalk.com/t79261/ http://www.cointalk.com/t79255/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:42:02 GMT I am new to coin collecting and have volunteered to help my father begin taking an inventory of many hundreds of coins my grandfather left him.

Mike in the Uk here.

I'm an avid collector of World coins who has a problem...

I recently acquired a collection of Jefferson nickels which, I'm ashamed to say, I know very little about.

Among them are several oddities such as a 1955 tripple die reverse (pf 65 ANACS), several double dies and D/D,S/S and S/S/S. Can't find any info anywhere about these coins. All are graded PF or MS by PCGS, NGC or ANACS.

Any info such as how and where to value these coins would be much appreciated.

Nice to meet you all by the way...
