Got a call today from one of the tellers I've talked to, saying someone just brought in $100 worth of halves. I was pretty sure it was someone...
I just saw someone list a roll of silver Washingtons on eBay for $190 with free shipping, 10% off even this evening's depressed spot price. It...
I just opened a yellow envelope from the bottom of my childhood coin-collection box. It was apparently a pouch of five BU Lincoln cents; I guess I...
Talk about "resistance at $30" -- this morning, it looks like a floor, not a ceiling! Sharp drop from a high of 30.66 to 29.82, but right back up...
You're right. I've been putting it off longer than I should have -- I'd be really disappointed if it sold out before I could order.
Heh. A fivefold drop in the dollar's value, or a fivefold rise in copper and nickel, and current clad dimes/quarters/halves become "bullion" worth...

I hope you meant to have a comma before "people". :) Neutral gray is even better than white. If you shoot on a white background, most cameras...
I nearly fell for that once, Collect89, but the seller was trying to pass it off as an error 1983 mint set. :)
:eek: Nice find, Ako! It's just a matter of being the first one to come in after the right deposit gets made...
1. We closed out our credit-union account, and I'd rather use my bank as a dump than as a source -- the tellers they have now are pretty...
Afternoon leg of the half-dollar search: First 4 banks & 2 groceries -- no halves, period. (One teller did have a pair of silver quarters in her...
Hah! I got my son 2 rolls of pennies at the first bank, and we just went through them -- two wheaties, maybe 25 coppers, and about 10 2009/2010s....
Morning rounds for halves. Local grocery: none Next bank: $4 worth, all clad/circulated Next bank: $7 worth, 2 clad, 12 40% (!) Next...
Separate names with a comma.
