That's some fyngoud and fynsilwer you folks got!
Yeah, that occurred to me as I was typing the above last night. The mint shows a price of $73 for this year's silver quarters. Last year's...
I inquired on the mint's web site if the new quarters would be included in the silver proof set. They responded that they intended to include them...
Saddle Ridge is rather old news, the hoard was found in 2013. Over $27,000 face value, an 1866-S double eagle w/no motto, and a dozen or so graded...
I think this is correct. In recent years, the mint has pushed to become more efficient, and I think this type of production, a sort of...
Yes, I really want to agree, too. But I know when I get one I haven't seen before, I'll throw it in a desk drawer. Then when I have 5 or 6, I'll...
Wow, thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response! I've been reading the forum and browsing the auction sites for a while now but when I saw...
Yes, I fear you are correct. :)
I've always been a collector of U.S. coins, dimes in particular. But I enjoy reading the ancient forums here, and I have learned a lot. History is...

I only have a couple, the nicest one is in my Capital holder. This thread reminds me how I love the one with rays, I need to get me one :happy:...
Nice find! Odd place to hide a $10 but lucky for you to find it.
XF/AU seems reasonable. BTW, you got a Franklin Pierce in there, too.
I bought the 4th edition (in 2018?) because it has a special section on dimes, which are my faves. The new 7th edition covers dollars. Not perfect...
PROS: They're largely ignored, so they'll be an interesting novelty when they are no longer minted. Easily affordable in high grades. Interesting...
I'll chime in and say I've happily bought items on USA Coinbook and likely will again if something pops up that catches my eye. Never sold there,...
Thanks, @Hommer, that site is fussy about linking to it's photos but you got yours to work.
