It's weird how it works. I roll search regularly and the finds I find are decent but usually nothing to write home about. My brother, who is...
I love aluminum coins...this is like the holy grail. I doubt any of us regular collectors will ever be able to get them but we can dream, right?
I look for flawless examples, regardless of date/mintmark. The goal is to build as complete a set as I possibly can from roll searching.
Thanks for the comments! I'm the kind of guy who likes to have real books rather than something on the internet. It's nice to be able to take...
And now I see why they are referenced so often as being essential reading. Let me say up front, I am not a fan of auctions. As a general rule...
I would be sad to see it end. I really enjoy the Canadian cents, and I have a complete run from 1953-2008, although some of them are really nasty...

I would not have agreed with you Peter, at one time. But now, I agree wholeheartledly. On another (non-coin related) forum I contribute on, I...

They all look good to me!
I have thought about this before...I think the coins of today will be in better supply than the ancients...because there is more of a collector...
Really glad to see you got that Kent! I like it when good people find cool stuff.
That's great! I have had great experiences with my local dealers and two not-local but regular visit dealers, but that is really going above & beyond!
Terrible designs but I think it's very cool that they even bothered to commerate it!
I have no interest in a "coin" where the metal content is displayed on the coin. I have no problem with commerating various things in metal- and...
Last Christmas my mom got me the Krause catalog of current world notes. That is one heavy book! Highly recommended, if you collect world notes. I...
While this was not issued by Italy I figure, the area it was issued for eventually became Italy. (Of course, all ancient Romans could be posted...
I have enjoyed seeing the Italian coins...my family is from Italy, we can trace our family back to the 1600s when they started keeping records...
