Let's say a true coin lover like me wanted the hobby to die and the bottom falls out the numismatic market. I will still be more than happy to buy...
I pray for the day pennies are discontinued. I used to hate them and throw them in the garbage when I got them in change. Now I appreciate them as...
I metal detect a little sometimes. Certain zincolns I find look like they've started rotting away.
I'm convinced zinc pennies are biodegradable.
As long as that only do the eagle reverse in gold and not Jim Thorpe. That may be one of the ugliest reverses in history.
I'm still in my first year so the mistakes are ongoing. My latest, was meeting a guy off Craigslist to trade coins. He was a legit honest guy, but...

It's that the curl in the 9 doesn't appear to come past 45 that concerns me. The 7 and weak liberty seem good tho. If I was buying I wouldn't pull...
Who posts a reverse pic only and asks if it's real?
I would love to be able to complete my ihc set. Probably will at some point if I can afford the key dates. Either way, my progeny may inherit the...
