Again, it depends on what they're collecting. This is a pretty good one for general numismatics, as there are several forums for different...
To the OP: What kinds of coins is this person starting to collect? The "Red Book" is usually the standard answer for a book to start with, but it...
Those aren't mockups, they are colorized old coins with the date changed in Photoshop. The thing is, it's a rendering of the coin that was...
I'd advise keeping neither, but that's just me.
Ah, yes. The 1842-O Micro-O Reverse of 1921 Seated Morgan. :facepalm:
S was there first. I think some earlier Whitman folders have them in this order. Or maybe it was a different brand of blue folders. Not sure...

Photoseal only applies to Flying Eagle and Indian cents, so no treeple-steecker for Lincolns. I asked James about QA + CAC stickers when I wasn't...

I agree. Google translate is blocked from where I sit, but the answer that "ed voeten" gives is probably the best one, although I haven't...
Yes, I'd need to see it in person. @usmc60, when and where did you serve in the Marine Corps?
Well, if you're only buying one coin, make it count! Nice!
Nothing wrong with that pile for $30. The Seated half has too much detail for PO1. Probably would grade FR-AG, but the hack across the reverse...
Looking at the pictures of 66s on Coin Facts, the 71s look like 65-66 and the 71-Ds look like solid 66s. The Heritage 71 in 66 would not garner...
Limited time only. [IMG]
Ear not doubled, plain old oval mint mark. Could be VAM 34, too. The only picture I have, however, is from the VAM book, and it's not too good....
Just got done with the dinner dishes, so now I'll try and answer as many questions as I can before playing a few levels of TurboTax. On the die...
Separate names with a comma.
