@Jim Dale Thanks for the feedback. Great story. I have 23 great grandchildren and 14 grandchildren. Your suggestion is a good idea, but I keep...
I still don't pay attention to pain. Unless it is extreme, pain is nothing but a message that said something went wrong. If you got hit in the leg...
Yes, I remember putting small pieces of paper under coins to keep them in the album. Way back days for sure.
I posted what became a Featured Post some time back. If anyone is interested in what it was like back in the late 40's and 50's I am posting a...
One thing most of us didn't do was spend money on magazines and other periodicals. The extra money we had went to coins.
Early on we had a group of kids my age that had swap meets. We didn't buy or sell. But we did trade according to scarcity. There weren't any local...
The extra letters on the reverse appear to be raised. This would mean that it was hit with a die or while on a die.
I think it happened at the mint. It looks to have been crushed against a die. The lettering on the reverse is raised.

You need to really like them and plan to keep them. They are worth very little after a couple of years.
I have been through two ten year runs of quarters and will never do it again. To get a set you will need Uncirculated, Proof, Silver, Reverse...
I have friends and relatives in the Sacramento area that take weekends or day trips to look for gold. I'm not sure about how successful they are.
I have no idea about value of them. I have been saving them since the 50's just for fun and have a considerable number of them. If they have a...
Same here. I can sometimes remember when and where I got a coin from circulation or a swap meet with my collecting friends.
We have received messages that mail was "attempted delivery" but "undeliverable". It happened one time while we were sitting in the kitchen...
Too many coins are coming out that require a serious investment for many years. I don't want to commit to another long run of coins in any series....
Nice coins. My standard was always working coins with good eye appeal. For most of my collecting career I was able to get coins directly from...
I grew up as a coin and stamp collector during a time without TV or Internet. The newspapers rarely carried any news of coins or stamps....
I am trying to get all of my great grandkids involved, there are 23 of them. And some of my grandkids are already involved. My concern is that...
Coin collecting will need to be redefined totally. If you have little to no ability to collect coins from circulation it becomes an issue of how...
Separate names with a comma.
