While I don't know any coin dealers in Kansas City, I recommend you do an online search of dealers, get their addresses and hours, and then stop...
A single 1941 cent I found in circulation got me started all those years ago -- I never recalled seeing a coin so old, and I was hooked. All the...
My '99 set did the same. I have an '81 proof set that's been doing the same for years now; the cent, nickel, and dime are showing haze, though it...
Thanks for the insight. I buy coins on eBay every now and then and have had no problems yet (thankfully), so I hope I can go on not needing these...
Make sense to me, Ed! Either all or nothing when it comes to inclusion of those popular pieces. Come to think of it, doesn't Whitman Classic...
So true...not withstanding the "intent" issues on the behalf of the Mint, I imagine it really is a matter of open interpretation. Effects...
I agree with the recent posters--PLEASE don't go buying raw coins costing more than $20 off eBay. Buying certified coins from an eBay seller with...

The '65 quarter is a beauty!
Budgood, now THAT'S thinking outside of the box! Thanks for the welcome, by the way!
Illini420, Thanks -- I guess I should go by the old credo "collect what you enjoy." I agree with you; it's either going to be a plain that I save...
A stunner....No evident contact marks, fingerprints, or smudges as far as I see. Definitely a 64/65 and nothing less.
Thanks for the welcome, rlm's cents! I look forward to many great conversations on here. I've been active in the hobby since 1992 and have come...
I am getting serious about completing a Lincoln cent collection (1909-present, proofs probably included...we'll see ;-) ) and cannot figure out...
