If you want to go the gift card route, a good idea is to see what restaurants are nearby. For example, get them a Subway or Tim Hortons gift card...
Nickels are pretty fun to do. I've only done 17 boxes total, but here's my finds: 3 Buff 16 war nicks 8 modern foreign 2 proofs 14 1938-39 and of...
Doesn't mean the melt ban won't be lifted. And it will be, at some point. Hang on to as many as you can, that's about all I can suggest. I've...
I suggest trying to find a dump bank that has a coin counting machine. Makes it a LOT easier than rerolling everything. You can call banks and...
It's better to search completed listings. I could post a 1996 missing seal bill for a $20,000 BIN if I wanted. Doesn't mean anybody would buy...
Yeah, I always just say I collect coins and like to look through them. Usually nobody pushes it any further.
The facts are not all true, and the ones that are aren't really all that remarkable when you actually think about them. For more info:...
I'm assuming the bank just had somebody bring in some old coinage, knew the OP was a collector, and offered it to him. And obviously they would...
I've never seen them for sale on ebay, but I don't look very often. I imagine you can't find any cheap, however. But you could try. EDIT:...

There's copper Canadian cents too. That's what he was getting at.
Good to know. If I ever make a day trip over there to search, I'll keep away from that BofA for ya. I wish there were TCF's in Jackson, though,...
Hm, few a you guys in that area. I lived in jackson until 2005, I'm in Wayne County now though. I've often thought about running over to jackson...
For additional info on this, The Straight Dope did an article:...
Make sure to figure that re-engraved clasp into the grade. I don't think anything else on it has been touched up. I'm not good on grading those...
You guys, don't you see what we're missing here? He was just forgetting his decimal points! This: should be: Now it works perfectly, and makes...
Look at a cent before 1992, or whatever. The WAM has an A that is more of an arial font, and the CAM has more of a Sans Serif font. The bottoms...
It's crazy how better pics show the WAM better than the lousy pics. Reading the beginning of the thread, I was really ready to say "Hey, look at...
