My Only Two American Coins!

Hello CoinTalk members,

As some of you probably know I'm English and I don't collect American coinage but I found these in a huge foreign box of coins I have, I know there probably worthless but even so they look nice!

Worthless ? LOL I have a box of foreign coins I have collected in my travels. They are as special to me as any of my other coins. But I am a terrible collector. I just like coins.

 

Thanks for the reply, there still nice looking coins.

 

Just remember, US dimes need loving too.

 

I like the coins. Looks like they may be clads, and not proofs, but wow, they sure are pretty.

Glad you appreciate them. I like dimes too, but only focus on the the Barbers and Mercuries when I am able. However, given the chance, I will not pass up a pretty Rossie either.

I have a tube of silver Rossie dimes that someone cracked out of a stack of proof sets. It seems sad to break up a "family" like that - but maybe it had to be done.

Personally, I am not excited over what that particular President "FDR" accomplished historically. I do, however, very much appreciate his portrait on the dimes.The Roosevelt dimes are very pretty, and even more so in good condition.

Written in the spirit of "DON'T TRASH the PERSON" even if I like the coin.

 

I like em and have a small but nice collection of them whats the dates on them?

My uncle was friends with a guy called Jack in America and my uncle must of told him I collected coins so he sent me them to me, hey were taped to paper.

 

Rats...beat me to it.

Frank, old fellow, got to be late over their in the UK. How do you sustain it all my friend? I'm good for maybe another hour or so and then it's nighty nite. Oh to be young again.....

 

Were on holiday from school at the moment so I stay on the computer longer than usual, its 1:45am here.

 

Wonderful indeed to be on Holiday.....

 

In about 5 weeks I have 3 months off school until college starts. I'm gonna work for the 3 months and put the money I earn into coins!

 

Which college will you be attending?

 

Oxford College

 

That's marvelous. And at the age of sixteen. You must be incredibly advanced in your studies....

 

haha! No I suck at school.

Its not much of a holiday, I just see my girlfriend and thats about it and obviously spend time on coins.

The weather is pretty bad also...
