I've seen a couple people here mention getting coins from department stores back in the day. I asked my 61 year old father, who is a collector if...
It is definately getting ridiculous, in my opinion. I'm mainly interested in old coins, but I try to stay up to date and get the new ones too. Its...
My dad found his old '69 and '74 editions, and gave them to me because he knew I'd be interested to see the values from back then. I like to point...
My dad gave me two proof sets from my birthyear, 1983. Shortly after that he gave me a really nice 1899-O Morgan dollar, which is when I really...
I think American colonial coins are underrated. Uncommon ones are often relatively affordable.
In my opinion: Peace dollars are nice. Morgans are better. But I have to agree with walterallen on Weinman's designs - beautifull. Especially the...

200,000! wow! that IS amazing. I like searching through rolls too... but I don't quite go to that extreme. I think I'm going to get a metal...
Several years ago I was working at a resteraunt. Somebody bought a burger and fries with 3 perfectly crisp 1976 2-dollar bills, in sequential...
Thanks for all the tips people. My dad's camera and computer are both junk. So I haven't gotten a good pic of the coin in question yet. Any tips...
Ok. I think I can borrow my dad's digital camera, and get some pictures up later tonight.
I have a 1922-S peace dollar, which looks like its in superb condition. I'm no coin grader, but I think it appears to be at least MS-65. According...
