I recently dug my old collections out of my safe after a twenty year rest and re-evaluated my coins. I was surprised at what I had been holding on to and how much so many of them had increased in value. I collect US coins only. I have complete Peace dollar, Franklin halves, Roosevelt dimes sets. I am presently working on Mercury dimes, Barbar halves, Walkers and Trade dollars. I enjoy going to local coin shows and reading about coins and their history.   09-22-2005, 12:57 PM   #2 (permalink) Speedy Researching Coins     Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 11,594 My Mood: Welcome to the forum!

Now last year was another story. We got hammered four times and lost power for weeks at a time. I guess Ma Nature decided to give us a break this year and pick on Louisiana instead.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
