Thanks Hobo, sorry I missed your post. Some people even sell their set even if they don't need the money just to put the coins back on the market...
Well Coinmaster1, you are a YN and seem enthusiastic so I am naming you the winner. I have already sent you a PM asking for your address. I hope...
Has anyone brought up that maybe the collector was "finished" with the set and it no longer had interset for them? So many collectors get into the...
Just in case anyone else wanted to participate, here is a review of the book. It has gotten pretty good reviews and is an interesting read....
It doesn't work like that. 1/10th of a cet tax increase on a $10 purchase would be $.01. If your bill was $10.51 it goes up to $10.52, and is...
Tough thing about metal detecting is getting permission to detect on land. Since it has been around for 30+ years, most public land is pretty...
Engineering? Just a guess. I saw those guys digging holes in the morning and filling them at night when I was there. Lol.
The billions lost every year has nothing to do with minting costs, it is the lost efficiency due to handling large numbers of coins that slow...
1989 for Basic Training. I know, I am old. :) 1972 seems to be a common year on halves. Check the reverses and see if they are missing the FG...

Around here they round in quite a few stores, always to the customer's benefit. I really do not care if they round up or down, just tired of...
I know what you mean Marshall. This is why I usually do not sell coins, even if I do not really collect them any more. I guess I am a worst case,...
Totally slanted article of course. However, one cent coins are a dinosaur that needs to be put down. Any time you have a coin incapable of buying...
Thanks, good to know. I would throw it out to anyone new to these that it used to be 3 keys though, with the 36d about half to 2/3rds a 32 d or s...
Agreed, it is a very coin. :)
Not 36d? It always was considered right up there with the 32d and s. I admit I haven't looked at these in 20 years. I have a few 32 d and s coins,...
Since a few have mentioned that they "built it into their price", I will tell you this is illegal. Every state in the country has a law requiring...
This is very common. I know of many auction houses who go to coin dealers every week or month and buy common coins to sell at their auctions. Its...
I am sure there are others as well, (ostrich), but I was comparing what I would consider a "closer cousin" like rhino versus elephant. Maybe its...
I would say that unless you wish to collect pocket change that ancient coins may be cheaper than US coins for most collectors. You can buy decent...
