Kanga, your posts on documenting and photographing your collection have been really cool. As I type this, I have an unemployed college student...
Mr. Coin Lover - interesting thread. It's funny how fickle coin collectors can be. Just step into the time machine and check out Coin Talk in...
Hey! You are one WILD and Crazy guy! You must be the one with the lampshade on your head at the end of the party! :) :) :) Couldn't resist :)...
Thanks Danr. This kind of stuff isn't really on my radar screen, but it's the kind of stuff that makes patrolling Coin Talk worthwhile. Never...
Ahhh... Coin collecting has changed. <Chuckle> What the OP is calling "Odd Ball" is what Proof sets were - up until 1998 - the cent, Nickel,...
As to your question - there's obviously nothing wrong with the strategy. How could it be wrong to sell what you have at the highest price and buy...
De Orc! I didn't know it snows this time of year where you live!!! Great scans. Hawk, even if you're never satisfied with a scanned image,...
Well Tom, a couple of comments. 1. The original post really didn't say anything about 20 or thirty years from now - just today. 2. One...
Wow! The stuff of legends. I remember this. Where is Dak? Where's the popcorn?
Dansco works on volume, not Hungarian type sets! If you're insisting on Dansco, then find the diameter of the coin you desire to collect and buy...
This thread is an excellent example of why you really need to be careful when reading posts on Coin Forums. And not just those dealing with legal...

With modern Proofs, I have seen it many times - and yes, even with PCGS and NGC slabs. I focus on nickels when I spend "splurge". It is not...
Ok. I don't want to hear anyone ever complaining again about "First Strike" or all those other silly designations they put on their labels!!
Well, speaking of collecting and meager means at the same time..... I collect lower grade silver coins of recent vintage (washies, roosies,...
I've collected stamps on and off for many years - right now it's in the dormant stage. I second the link by hrhomer - that's an excellent forum...
I basically agree but make the distinction that this is a series that is HIGHLY under-appreciated by "coin collectors". I think the...
The guy has 1500+ feedback. I'm thinking a practical joke by someone who can access his account or just someone who's P.O'ed at him. An angry...
I saw another auction by the same seller. It was for a 50 cent whitman album containing a very incomplete Jefferson collection - missing all the...
Ok. Maybe a stupid question - but that has NEVER stopped me. It is well known that RD lincolns can or will eventually become RB or even BN...
