Most of my sets cost only a dollar or two or at most several dollars (plus bullion value). I've cut up hundreds of sets to make storage easier...
Wow!!! Great collection.
It's a great hobby. It is very educational ands some of the greatest people are coin collectors. Have fun.
Beautiful coins including many of my favorites. Have you also collected the coins?
What got you interested in coins?
One of the nice things with quarters now days is that there are so many of them. Of course it's a lot of folders you'll need as well but it will...
The best way I know to get a kid interested in coins is to give him a folder and the coins to fill it. Tell him he can have the coins for the...
Nice clads. I especially like the '90-D. The '86 comes fairly nice, the others no so much so.
It's actually a pretty nice coin and the grade doesn't do it justice. The reason the grade is so low is that about 1% of these in mint sets...
I'm guessing the old base metal coins from the '50's to '80's are unavailable at any price?
It's a confused (post-2000 BC) rendition of the means that was actually used to build the great pyramids of Egypt (et al). It's called a "henu...
His name escapes me right now but many years ago there was a dealer who did some business in the moderns. He taught me a great deal and...
Most people would be surprised to know how tough the moderns are. Things like 1971 francs only seem common because no one puts them into...
Speaking of experience I can tell you something else that will make this subject seem even more incomprehensible to people who get hung up on...
I believe true homo sapiens became extinct 4000 years ago and we are homo omnisciencis. Most people think they know everything and even some...
Me too! Except I'd point out that in these early days there were very few NCLT coins and these weren't thought of like this. Remarkable...
Think of "uncirculated" as grade rather than a condition. A coin as struck normally has a nice even shiny luster all over it. Coins wear from...
I was just thinking. There's another way to tell these markets are about to move. Look at the '82 and '83 quarters in change. A few years ago...
Uncirculated just means that a coin has unbroken luster. Even the highest points of the design at Washington's ear are still shiny. AU means...
Actually these really aren't too bad. The dates have a premium in AU and sometimes even in XF. The one '83-D looks pretty nice; mid grade-AU with...
Separate names with a comma.
