Just be careful in how you do it. If you're too specific you'll get a bunch of people saying it's theirs and no way you can prove otherwise. Of...
For the most part, it's any easy set to asemble. However, like Viper said, there are two, the 1893 O and the 1895 O that cause a problem. Even if...
Thats what I was thinking. Our forefathers thought the bird wasn't "stately" enough. Yet, it represents more to this country than an eagle. Plus...
Finally, a rational answer. I'm tired of presidents on all coins. The US has to have the most boring coin designs on earth, Why can't we bring a...
Best of luck! I've always wanted to open a small book store...and maybe have a corner dedicated to selling coins. Sadly, I have two kids to put...

Standing Liberty Quarters---The Full Head Debate I found this post on "Standing Liberty Quarters---The Full Head Debate" interesting and have...
I was just acrrying around a few of the Presidential dollars. But, after only about a month they became so discolored and ugly (or uglier to be...
I posted the below pic on the error section a few days ago to show what appears to be a die chip in a Colorado State Quarter. It was there that...
Whoa! Good eye. I didn't even notice that till you pointed it out. This is one messed up quarter! Because mintmarks aren't punched by hand any...
