For those wondering what "PMM" is, this is it.
I think Susan's cut off for the night. :D
Grant commemorative half dollar.
I've been collecting for 32 of my 38+ years, and while I've had some reasonably valuable coins in that time, I've never owned a gold piece....
I don't think "unsearched" usually is, but it can be. A friend of mine bought a lot of unsearched wheaties a while back, and got a 1924-D and...
A couple of Morgans...and a Legal Defense fundraiser [EDIT: (8/20/2004)] Today, I added an auction for a cleaned AU (net XF) 1934-S Peace...
A wheat cent (except for 1943) weighs 3.11 grams. There are about 454 grams in a pound. Therefore, there are about 146 wheaties per pound, or 73...

I suppose it could also be a bit scary, but I think it would be just awesome to live out where critters like this come and go. (But not bears,...
I saw this thread on another coin board last week, and I thought it might be a fun one here (or depressing; take your pick). Have you ever sold...
Yep. People used to be aware of changes in their money all the time -- not just changes in design but changes in denominations as well. Since...
Yeah. It might be interesting to collect a series of coins that winked at me... :D
One of the first coins I ever had was a shield nickel, when I was probably six years old. It was horribly worn. All I knew was that it was...
This shows that you can't kill dead presidents off coins, sadly. Except for Ike, I guess, which was sort of a special case because they...
Keep in mind that neither 1944-D nor 1944-S are better dates by themselves. Only if they have an overmintmark variety (i.e. a "D" *over* an "S",...
Key dates: 1909-S, 1909-S VDB (with the initials "V.D.B." in small print at the bottom of the reverse), 1914-D, 1931-S. Also there is the 1922-D...
So are you here to learn things, or are you here to insult and antagonize people so they never want to even *try* to help you again?
