I think I used a copper cleaner on this coin in the sixties, when I was a boy. (The coin was black, if I remember correctly.) Does it look like...
Thank you. It's 1795.
What I am trying to do is fill empty slots. Once I do that (if ever), I might like to start a Morgan dollar collection--more empty slots.
Yeah, the older they are, the better, though I like all my coins.
I suppose everybody has their individual tastes. I have my dad's Indian head cent collection and mother's large cent collection, along with my...
I traded away a beautiful trade dollar back when the price of silver sky-rocketed in 1979-80.
My coin collection contains 372 coins. Only one of them is uncirculated. I call it "MS-60." In those days half dollars were actually used, and the...
I'm not sure I could even make an educated guess. I doubt if it was more than that. In the late 70s I bought a 1909-S Indian head cent for $150 at...

I switched from a Whitman album to a Dansco. This allowed me to avoid buying the $7000 1856 flying eagle cent. However, I found I now had to buy...
My coins tend to be common coins—large cents, Indian head cents, Mercury dimes, mostly. What I’ve been doing is figuring the AG-3 value as...
Thanks.
How does one determine the value of AG-3 and F-2 coins?
If you can afford a collection of MS65 Morgans, go for it. I would just try to fill as many slots as possible.
Well, G-4's might be okay. When I was young I collected silver dollars. They were still in circulation. Morgans were my favorite coins. I had to...
When I collect (large cents, Indian head cents, and Mercury dimes), I just like to get the slots filled (with G-4 coins or better). (With Morgans...
