Reality is so depressing...
Awesome. There is probably an interesting story behind that "A," but it will likely remain a mystery - unless the person who made it happens to...
The attribution for this 1819 large cent was found on this very forum. 1819 Large Cent Newcomb-7, apparently an R4, which means a population of...
I quite like the Mexican 20 Pesos Aztec calendar coin... almost half an ounce. [IMG]
I don't really collect sets of any kind, so I'm probably not within your post's target demographic. I mainly buy coins that appeal to me upon...
Hm. The 2 big shows in the Upper Midwest don't seem to have any information about upcoming shows. The MOON show usually happens in October but I...
That cent had a really really really bad day.
Just my half cent's worth (in 1804 currency), like others have said, slab the rarities and maybe sell them separately. People who want them may...
For me, numismatics and bullion go together and remain hard to separate definitively. Many numismatic items contain bullion, though they wouldn't...
I keep my spending lower by trying to only buy things I think I will really enjoy for years to come. That took some learning and experimentation,...
If the first coin is genuine - it's hard to tell from the picture - then it's a Mexican 50 Pesos Libertad made of 1.2 ounces of gold. You can do...
Numista (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/emirats_arabes_unis-1.html) may help, but if you can't read Arabic you might have trouble even knowing...
Maybe. That's about all anyone can say. I also think that the claimed changes the internet brought are often exaggerated and that the internet...
Ah... I remember my first ancient... it definitely wasn't as nice as this one... by number four I had upgraded considerably, though.
I don't think the hobby will ever disappear completely, but I think it will fade. When, and if, the digital economy comes to full fruition, people...
Hm. There wasn't a dollar coin the year "Lola" was released. Apparently, 45s cost $1.00 in 1970. So, sadly, you couldn't purchase "Lola" in the US...
Lola will live forever... [MEDIA] Ummm... and coins... yes, coins will also live forever... (trying to keep this relevant)
I received a 1945 wheat penny in change this week and I was ecstatic. I would probably pass out completely if I received a Standing Liberty...
Yes, it's worth visiting, but I can't say I loved the experience compared to other mints I've seen. I visited Philadelphia about 4-5 years ago....
Everyone has a different approach to this hobby and mine has changed drastically over time. This has also affected the holders I use. I used to...
Separate names with a comma.
