This sounds pretty much like my situation. I'm retired, house paid for, mostly just normal living expenses, but I still don't pull out of savings...
Love it! Mostly for the same reasons you listed, including the design. I really love history, and would love to own a silver dollar from the...
Great Coin, even greater story! Both of my parents were born in 1908, just a few years after your dad. I put together a type set of 1908 coins...
Well my favorite coin hasn't changed since this was asked a few months ago in another post, but I can now post pictures of it, because I have it...
I prefer circulated coins. But, I still go with the best I can find within my budget. This would definitely be a keeper for me because of the...
Finally made it home. My fractional note is in far worse shape than I thought. It isn't like the one you posted, though. Here is a quick picture I...
This brought back a lot of memories, from a long time ago. I grew up (well, I'm not sure I've ever grown up, lol) working with my dad on anything...
Outstanding write-up, @Collecting Nut! You've done a very good job researching it, too, as far as I can tell? Since I love history, very enjoyable...
My thoughts exactly! I collect regular issue coins. I can appreciate uncirculated and proof coins, and I have a few of them (they were very...
I don't think so? But it's been quite a while since I've looked at it. Will be a couple of weeks before I can check and let you know. I know it's...
I'm a long way away from home right now. I've got pictures of the front and back of the $5 note, but not the 50 cent one. They aren't that great,...
I've got a $5 Confederate note from Shreveport Louisiana. It's not worth anything to speak of, I'm sure. I only got it because it was from...
Happy Birthday, early! I got you beat! I've got you beat, too. June 30th I'll be 74, if my wife doesn't kill me first for my "Coin addiction"....
I agree. I love the design, and the toning. @AuldFartte and @Gilbert, love them! But, I'm one of the "weird" ones, I guess, lol. I love...
Happy Birthday. Nice CSA note and very good writeup. Enjoyed it very much. I recently purchased a $5 CSA note printed in Shreveport, LA. I don't...
I think you did quite well. I've done similar, buying a few from LCS (who doesn't generally have Ancients) to try to attribute them, and haven't...
Well, I looked at it and saw there were no bids. So, I thought I would "start the bidding", just so I could say I bid on it. Then I saw that the...
I have a Franklin Half that I will swap you for them! :)
@galba68 very nice cleaning job. It's good to have friends!
Here's the best 2 of my 4 half cents: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I also have an 1803 (really rough) and an 1828 twelve star. I love...
