I'm interested in picking up some silver for the sake of having some silver, not as a numismatic investment. I see a lot of one ounce silver bars...
I'm a new collector putting together a set of Jeffersons. I'm interested in uncirculated but not worried about full steps or high 65+ grades or...
I picked up some nickels at the coin shop yesterday. Most were common and priced 35-65 cents. He had a full-step one, however, priced at 15$. Do...
I'd be really interested in poking through some non-US material but I don't know where to find it except on the Internet. The local coin shop...

Collect what you find interesting. 5 or $10 per coin can be a little limiting but even something like buffalo nickels can actually be done in low...
That was helpful. Since they're all proofs, what would cause the one to not be cameoed? Or is cameo not guaranteed in proof coins?
Okay, thanks. I bought my first proofs a couple days ago (Jeffersons) so I'll look at those and see if I can recognize it. Ryan
I see the terms cameo and deep cameo used but I can't get a feel for what they mean. Could someone post a pic that might make it more clear?...
I'm new to coin collecting and this forum. Wondering how folks moved into collecting once you decided to do more than dig through pocket change. I...
