Unfortunately I think you're correct. If cash transactions and coins are eliminated, new collectors will decline, along with the hobby (and...
Lots of us can say the same. Some 1909-S VDB pricing history. Wish I had gotten one when I started collecting in the 50s! 1950: $5.00 1980: $200...
Great pictures!
+1 !
The labor cost hurts too - in addition to the composition. Maybe we should let the Chinese mint them for us (just kidding).
I'll agree with a possible end to the US cent starting 2014.

I don't think any of us can! Nice coin!
Thanks. It's old & worn, like a lot of old circulated indian head cents, but no sign of salt water corrosion on the rest of the coin. The green...
Picked this one up on fleabay a few days ago, as it looked interesting. Advertised as a planchet error, and I think it is, but I'm really not all...
Dryer coin or spooned. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Ring-from-a-Silver-Coin
I'd guess because in most cases the mintages from 1910-1930s were lower, and age itself often commands a premium. And less may be available in...
Ebay pulled it - the sold coin is no longer available to look at it, as they always are for a while. "Item 251033822580 is no longer available."
Not a Morgan, but if I wanted something that won't lose value long term, I think gold (bullion or coins) is a safer way to go. No guarantee on...
