Ha! This is an interesting thread. It seems for the past several moons, there's always one or two "YN's" or at least new zealous collectors...
Just a comment here. The "War" nickel only has 35% silver - 35% silver, 56% copper, 9% manganese. The value that sites such as Coinflation...
$850 for a key? Yes, that's important. Also consider that it's only a G-4. If I had that kind of money available, I'd do some research on...
Both. Post-64 - what I like. But try to complete all the sets to 1991. After that, you start getting into the silver proofs for each set and...
I am also amazed at the spread of quality in mint sets. Over the past four years, I've probably gathered 80 or so sets from 1971 to 1991. It...
A couple of years ago, someone here found a huge stash of silver halves as well. His moniker was Major something or other. He had tons of...
I enjoy the show. It's just weird to hear people talking about coins.
How about the WW2 era German coins that are made out of IRON! I got 2-3 really crappy examples - they sure didn't hold up very well!
Yes - Frank (a.k.a. Treashunt) should be showing up soon.
Hey there! I'm American but spent two years in Woking - just a short train ride to Guildford. Spent many an amazin' night at the pubs and...
No probs. Just got to call you out and make you honest! :) :) :) :) I remember going into a small shop in backwater Iowa. Basically, you...
Tom, you throw that out there and don't defend it. Maybe it's a truism that I've missed. Based on what I've seen from your posts and your...
<ouch> I see you only have 11 posts. According to the previous poster, it's ok to go outside and shoot yourself. Seriously, the guy must...
No offence, but I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that you can go to a GARAGE or YARD sale and see a 1909-S, etc. Yeah, sure....
Oh my goodness gracious! You can now "buy" a set of Unc "Business strkes"? The mint is very, very clever. I really have to take my hat off....
SURE!!! Ruin it for the rest of us. Please give location of Starbucks because there is OBVIOUSLY no reason to go and buy coffee there anymore!!!
I won't hijack the thread, but I had a similar experience. Marshall, I hope you realize that coin has a total mintage of 1 (ONE). Don't do...
From my own experience and what I read about others on this forum, most of us have an "accidental" type set growing - whether it be in a 7070 or...
What is so kool about this whole thread is how "history" is determined by whoever writes it. I've heard it said a hundred times and just kind...
I never cease to be amazed at how people can throw how many of thousdands of dollars towards a crap shoot. "Gonna get rich someday..." I guess...
