Hm. The all-knowing, all seeing, beyond omniscient Wikipedia has this to say about the word "Penny" - "A penny is a coin (pl. pennies) or a unit...
Investing in numismatic coins takes more time and knowledge than I'll ever have. I do invest in bullion coins, but I buy numismatic items purely...
The Australian Kookaburras usually come out sometime in September for the following year. I've bought them every year for over a decade now and...
That is an awesome gig you've landed - how cool! I also have a fervent desire to visit Reykjavik and take a two day trip up to Nuuk, Greenland....
Awesome! Thank you everyone! As usual this forum rocks! It sounds like the worst case is that I have an authentic but potentially cleaned 1854...

I don't really collect sets of any kind, so I'm probably not within your post's target demographic. I mainly buy coins that appeal to me upon...
Hm. The 2 big shows in the Upper Midwest don't seem to have any information about upcoming shows. The MOON show usually happens in October but I...
That cent had a really really really bad day.
Just my half cent's worth (in 1804 currency), like others have said, slab the rarities and maybe sell them separately. People who want them may...
For me, numismatics and bullion go together and remain hard to separate definitively. Many numismatic items contain bullion, though they wouldn't...
I keep my spending lower by trying to only buy things I think I will really enjoy for years to come. That took some learning and experimentation,...
If the first coin is genuine - it's hard to tell from the picture - then it's a Mexican 50 Pesos Libertad made of 1.2 ounces of gold. You can do...
