One last note, as a collector of 19th century copper myself. If you pony up for red vs. red-brown vs. brown, keep in mind you are likely paying a...
If you plan on storing the coins long term, get yourself a desiccant and change it out regularly. This should keep moisture down. Other than that,...
That's a neat one! Love me some Civil War tokens...
And I guess to half-answer your question, if you are looking to maintain value, key date coins will always be key date coins. Research the type...
Some of the best sources for pricing information are the auction houses (I look at Heritage and GreatCollections) and the grading services. You...
I've thought of a type set of love token or hobo nickel coins. Neat idea!
Like I said, I'm sure it's something on my end - like you said, it worked and now it doesn't. I'm using Helicon Remote at the moment (free...

I'm hoping to have my camera functional this evening for pics of my token... the tether is giving me fits...
