I don't really roll hunt, but I was out with my wife and she wanted to stop into a salon and get her hair done. There was a bank across the...
Get yourself some Shield pennies. E PLURIBUS UNUM
I prefer the color and character of the half dime. Do you have a larger image of it? The twenty-cent piece seems a bit flat, but maybe that's...
I'm also impressed that it all came off with an acetone bath. Nice work.
I was going to ask you what you did, but then I decided I really didn't want to know.
So I was hunting around for a 1982 zincoln for my small cent types, and just couldn't find anything even mildly interesting until I stumbled upon...
That very same thing crossed my mind last night.

Young people want to change the world, which is fine...it's what young people do. But I would suggest studying it first. Real numismatics is about...
You got off easy. The obverse is highly tooled and smoothed. Look at the wide gutters surrounding the outline of the face and hair, and the...
Eh, well...I suppose your comment is tongue-in-cheek. I wouldn't want an ugly governors collection, lol.
Well, the newbie mistakes I made were not overpaying for great coins, but underpaying for coins that were almost what I wanted. In the long run,...
Well, hey...best of luck to you! It's not my ballgame since I prefer old gold, have no interest in modern bullion, a 1/20th ounce coin is too...
