I agree with what you said. I tend to go on eBay and browse the world coins and sometimes I impulse buy things I don't really need, but that's the...
I sold some Roosevelt silver dimes last week when silver was in the $26 area and they were paying a little over 18 times face value. I can't say...
To kind of bring this all back together again, the biggest reason I like collecting coins is the history. When I see something with a date that...
My girlfriend teaches fourth grade, and she tells me that with all the state and federal testing that the schools are mandated to do, they pretty...
I don't know how much I should get off the topic of coins on the Coin Talk message board, but I do enjoy a good discussion of history. Your...
It's a civil war because it was fought by two groups within a nation, not between two nations. But anyway the problem is not the terminology, it's...
It would be so easy to just say "this is 167 years old" or something like that and it still sounds old. You shouldn't make claims if you don't...
Maybe my expectations for others are too high because I was a history major, but this kind of thing makes me both laugh and shake my head. Here is...
I think it depends on what kind of collector you are. Me, I'm mostly interested in getting all the dates, not on them being in mint condition. So...
It's only happened to me a few times and both times it was on coins that only cost a few bucks, but I told the seller I hadn't received them, they...

I agree with you. I hate the thought of old things being destroyed, and I actually like the circulated silver. It just looks its age and when I...
Here's my laugh of the day. Everything on eBay is described as "pretty nice," "very nice," great shape for its age, etc. This doesn't look too...
Unfortunately I'm not a member so I can't see the prices on the links you provided. The price of $350 I quoted is from a recent issue of Coin...
I need 1913 S Type 1 (which is in my price range and I will buy eventually) 1913 D Type 2 1913 S Type 2 1914 D 1915 S (which is also in my price...
I've been buying buffalo nickels on eBay to try to complete a set, and now I am down to where I only need six more, but as you might expect, they...
I don't mean to get this sidetracked, but as someone who's fairly new to the hobby, I am curious what silver was at a few years ago? I'm trying to...
I keep them because I think they're neat but they're not worth anything. I was excited last weekend when I was at the concession stand at a Notre...
I mostly like the shop I go to but there are a few things I don't like. One is that I feel like they have a lot of coins that they never put on...
I've bought them on eBay but I've had mixed results. You tend to get a lot of coins from certain countries. If you go that route, be careful who...
