I have trying to learn "Photo shop Elements" this week and was fooling around with some pictures. Here is another Civil War Token that is pictured...
You have more patience than I did when I was building my early U.S. coin type set. I used to be limited to one or two big coins a year. I don't...
I think they have added it. My type coin registry is now 99% complete. When I went to see why, it was because that coin has been added. The...
I have the die variety number for that 1796 dollar written on a sticker on the holder, but I don’t keep that information in my old brain. I know...
But it’s “a very nice coin for collectors.” :blackalien::greedy::spitoutdummy: That’s almost as endearing as the line, “I got this coin from my...
I have a bigger problem than you do. I have them back to 1942, excluding the sets with missing mint marks. I have a 1936 Proof set and have...
The 1881-S Morgan is a very common date that is easy to find in Mint State with lots of luster. I have not looked at graded examples of this coin...
I arrived at the party too late. All of the photos have been deleted. Here is the coin that is in my one a year set. NGC graded this one AU-50...
Maybe the date is 1944 on the other side. Such things do exist, but I don't think that's the case here.
For Proof coins from 1956 (and before) up through the mid 1980s (approximate), they have to look like this to bring a premium. It's called a...
High prices did a lot to kill the First Spouse series. The series started off at almost $500 and kept going from there. The bronze medalets at...
Both William the Conqueror and Rufus issued “stars” pennies, S-1254 for William and S-1260 for Rufus. Halley’s Comet visited before the Battle of...
Thank you for the great opening post. I knew that the Normans claimed some lands in the holy lands from the First Crusade, but did not realize...
Coins in the flat packs that you have are Mint Set coins. The Proof sets came in government holders that looked like this. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Here is the Pilgrim half dollar that is in my type set. I can't believe how low the prices are for many of the early commemorative coins. This is...
I agree with you about the Proof coins. The fact that the Proof Coin mintage exceeds the Uncirculated mintage repeatedly, issue after issue, shows...
I have all of the wooden box sets except for the 32 piece Atlanta Olympics set. I bought a 16 piece set at small show many years ago for half the...
Especially the 1996 Atlanta set, which had 16 different coins in it. That was overkill in the extreme.
Morgan Dollars need to be better dates and in the higher grades to be worth the grading fees. This is an 1885-CC dollar. It grades MS-63 and would...
The editors of the Red Book made some odd choices when they picked out merchant Civil War tokens. This one for the Drovers' Hotel in St. Louis,...
