Of course coin collecting is a subculture to the mainstream. That is what is so great about diversity and our country. America holds the...
Thanks, cpm9ball. I actually used some old airbrush paints I had laying around from 10 years ago. I had to reconstitute some of them to bring them...
It was a long winter in South Dakota and I had plenty of time to paint this picture of my favorite coin. When I am working tattooing clients an my...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I like this thread a lot. I really get into Lincoln cents, but I typically shy away from woodies for a classic BN or RB look....
I know you are thinking "What is a FORK doing on my CoinTalk site?" Well, with these high metal prices it seems people need some cash more than...
I really have a weakness for Mexican coinage and love to pick up these silver UN PESO whenever I can. Especially when they are gemmy! I think they...

Thanks Duke. I thought you would think it was pretty cool.
This is a neat story about how I discovered a major mint error. I volunteer at my local coin shop (Dakota Coin in Rapid City, SD) that one of my...
MS 64 RD with the spot on the nose. Couldn't be in a worse place IMO. Still a keeper!
