I don't mind coin searching in small bites. Beyond that it become work, not pleasure. I'd rather just buy the coin I want than to search for...
That's what basically what I was going to post. I save them more as a compulsion than because it will be profitable. I can't bring myself to...
Why do people think it's a bad thing if coins actually have intrinsic value? What makes worthless slugs preferable?
I'm not sure why the bank would drill a box if not visited recently. They bill me for it and I pay the fee. I would think this would be enough...
Pretty amazing find. But you are correct that in the past this sort of find was possible. Now, it is virtually gone.
There is an old saying that anyone who can remember the 60s wasn't really there. :) Mine is more of the attitude that I bring to the hobby.
I'm guessing this example won't end the debate. :whistle:
I was just about to say Photograde. It's the book I've probably referred back to more than any other over the years. I'm sure it isn't as good a...
Maybe it means "charged another collector." :rolleyes:
Some dealers apparently don't want to do business with anyone who knows more than they do. It's okay to sell a coin for much less than it's worth...

I've accepted that I'm hoplessly attracted to circulated coins. If I was going to spend $100 on a coin, I'd rather have a circulated coin with...
You are correct, of course. But it seems something needs to be done to both identify the condition and factor in other considerations without...
Well, that seems to be the bottom line in a nutshell. Maybe grading should be eliminated altogether, and a coin can be described as a $50 morgan...
I would have paid $20 for that CC morgan too. Collecting is a far richer hobby than just looking for key dates and/or the highest grade you can...
About a week ago I received a silver nickel as change. But I think most of the time these things happen by accident or when kids raid their...
I always liked the liberty design over the saints too. I'm sure that is a minority view.
I tend to agree, but for close to equal money I'd rather have the $20 Liberty just because, well, it's a $20 Liberty!:hail:
I wonder how much they will charge for it? In a way, the Mint might have messed up. They should have made it to the exact specifications as the...
It's a neat and easily identified variety. I didn't get one in the batch I purchased. If I did, I would keep it, but I wouldn't pay up for one....
Separate names with a comma.
