Not a particularly nice coin nor an attractive display (it's a belt buckle :) ) but it was my grandfather's. He passed away over 25 years ago and...
That would have made a great silver dollar design. Like the real one, it would not have circulated and died an early death but it is captivating.
A 1950 proof set is always welcome to the thread, regardless of the title.:)
Yes, I agree. Capital Plastics was founded in Massillon, Ohio and served the coin collecting community for many years. In 2006, they were acquired...
This one perhaps? I bought it back in the 1980's from an advertiser in Coin World, I believe. Added the 1999 coin later (not in the capital holder...
They do sell replacement plastic screws as well.
My 1962 proof set in a rather unique holder that encapsulates the set while still inside the original mylar. [ATTACH]
That's a fun set. Nickels made of silver? Yes, please! I have a lowly set of circulated and details coins, I would like to upgrade to a set like...
This has undoubtedly been done before but I like Capital holders. The type sets especially. I like the green holders but they are hard to find...
There's a George Crossing the Delaware dead center so it's not too old. May be a gem in there somewhere. You're a better collector than me...

As I mentioned in another thread, I've got a few coffee cans full of rolled pennies (cents for you purists) along with a few rolls of dimes and...
A google search on PETRA FLAVUM turns up this website for a Norwegian artist, Petra, who collaborates with a poet artist named Flavum. She works...
They look relatively crisp, and the $2 note is always a novelty since they don't circulate, in the States or anywhere else. But no, they are...
1979...I was 21, a junior in college. Young, healthy, and a ton of mistakes I hadn't yet made. Good choice for a starting year! And I agree,...
As stated above, it's a 1959 restrike. I found this on the interwebs... In 1792, a George Washington copper coin was struck, and even though it...
Cool - are all the current presidential medal retreads or just certain issues, like President Fillmore?
Agreed. Coin production was way down in 2009 and the interesting ones (the one-off cents and quarters) disappeared quickly. I don't see much of...
I'm still lusting after that camera you got not too long ago. You use it well.
Makes sense.
