This has been the common wisdom since silver was removed from the coinage. People look through nickels and pull out all the old ones and have...

I'd recommend saving the better condition coins. This especially applies to nice attractive well-struck coins. If they are also relatively...
1968 is a great year for moderns and about my fourth or fifth favorite. You'll find an odd mix of distressingly common and incredibly tough...
I can vouch for none of the pricing on this site and it may all be far removed from reality. But it is interesting.

A lot of the European moderns from that era are really hot now. They've been available for decades for almost nothing but the switch to the euro...

I agree in principle but there are surprisingly few resources for modern coinage. These coins were simply ignored for decades and it's only been...
You're going to miss some good stuff no matter how much you learn about coins. Even if you saw a picture or had a good description of what's...
I live very simply with a few 1969 Indian proof sets and I'm non-violent. :bow:
KidRomeo; I hadn't noticed your sig-line. Gandhi is one of my greatest heroes. This is part of my affinity for the '69 proof set. It takes...
There are relatively few Chinese coins I like. They will most all increase probably and they're all great collectibles but my favorite coins are...
