I'm going to be honest: I do this, not expecting to actually cash in, but simply because I like the idea of having money with an intrinsic value...
Gorgeous seated liberty examples! Due to budgetary restraints, my highest grade example is an AG-3 1846-O; jealous in the extreme!
First off, keep in mind that compared to the combined total mintage for the St. Gaudens double eagle series, the eagle version's was rather small....
If you want an album with additional slots, try the Whitman two album set from a few decades back. Be warned: it's MUCH harder to fill than the...
My issue with Russian coinage is the pricing. For whatever reason, it seems that a lot of the imperial-era silver and gold coinage is priced at a...
Sheesh, nice job! I've got one of the dollar coins as well as a 1902 50 cent. Not nearly as nice as your collection, though!
I'm thinking VF 20 or, if the grader were feeling cantankerous, F-15.

I agree with the broader point that others have made: rather than obsess over gimmicks like limited-run rarities and non-circulating coins,...
I would agree with the observations above on popularity. There are many dates in the $10 Liberty series that are probably far scarcer than some of...
Nice job on the Cuban and Danish pieces! Well worth the money.

Fascinating! Same design as the peso, but I've never heard of a gold version.
All I can say is that it's been all downhill ever since the 1982 changeover from copper to copper-plated zinc.
Why not just settle for bank rolls of cents? I've found a whole bunch of copper pre-1982 cents that way, plus a few wheat cents as well.
If only money weren't an obstacle! Then we could all have the two mohur gold piece.
