The truly ironic thing is that Isle of Man has some really interesting circulating coins but they are just lost among the collector dreck. I was...
If the gold were found to not be there or to be encumbered people would lose a lot of faith in the dollar. Money is worth what people think it's...
Put together a set of everything. In almost no time at all you'll start learning about what's out there and what isn't. You'll learn to spot...
'60-D sm date cents are distressingly common. Back in 1999 they listed lower than any other BU cent roll at 60c. They are nearly as common now...
The amount of PVC in these appears to be very low so it might be decades before there's a problem. In my opinion taking it out of th plastic...
I believe that is cut from a regular 1967 NZ mint set. These do have a little PVC but aren't very bad. I've lost only a few coins in my NZ...
I refuse to be on de fence re American spelling. It is atrocious. ...But it's cheap. ;)

I've been removing most of my coins from the mint sets. This is mostly because I don't trust the packaging any longer. I've had dozens of sets...

There's a good chance it will be melted too. That's one less available of a really great and really scarce collectible. Everybody is too...
Beautiful. It's a very attactive coin as well.
Thanks for the info. I just happen to have one of these. It probably has a high attrition as well. Mine is in my Coke collection which is...
This is a good site. People very rarely mean to offend. All the papers at the time ran stories on this and it was Numis News that highlighted...
I'd say there is still collector interest in the '89- 'NMM" quarter. It certainly isn't as much interest as back in '89/ '90 but there are still...
