I've always wanted a few of mine professionally photographed. For the life of me, I cannot take a decent picture of a coin no matter how much time...
The one below my name. Guy~
Found this in change the other day. Looks to simply be marks made when ejected from the press, but I'd never seen one this extreme before. All...
Just tell then you're on a tight budget and ask if they have a bargain bin. Most dealers would rather sell you a few coins at a few dollars each...
Great cents, Mark. And not too low grade. For me, those are high grade compared to most LC's I have. Guy~
I find it hard to believe I'm the only one here who gets cents in change on a daily basis. Therefore, how is a cent worthless? I usually wrap...
To tell you the truth, I'd keep it as it is. It's unusual looking, and for a dollar how well preserved does it have to be? It makes for something...
Glad you had a good time, thats what it's all about. I don't think anyone really said you made a bad call on the bid, but rather, with experience...
Buy some savings bonds. In 7 years you'll have $2200. With metals, you might not have anything more or even less than your original investment....

No offense here, as I know what you mean. My toned coins are the rare exception to how I normally collect. But the challenge was too great to no...
Penny Lady has some really nice toned IH's, but none cheap I'm afraid. Guy~
Well, I used to be somewhat anti-tone. But then came along Paul and ruined that for me. Since then I've been building a type set of NGC toners and...
I would have guessed that as well, until I noticed it continues even onto Jefferson's forehead. Looks like damage from a vending machine to me. Guy~
I like albums, though I prefer Dansco to Whitman. I hate sorting through boxes of 2x2's to see my collection. As long as you place the coins in...
Well, at least one LOL Guy~
Here's mine, a 1783 1/2 Reale from the shipwreck El Cazador. Bought this from Mel Fisher's store about six years ago. Common coin with a neat...
Or for an 09 VDB with an S the dealer missed. I was with a friend at a show in Vegas about 10 years ago when he bought what was listed as an 09...
Yeah, had to go with none. Like Paul said, stick with the classics. Why spend more on modern bullion when for the same or even less money you...
I don't see how so...they're still money valued at their stated denomination. But, more importantly, what does that have to do with the topic at...
Separate names with a comma.
