Here's something interesting: I'm doing pro-bono numismatic research attributing at least 28 (but possibly many more) assorted alumni-donated...
This has something to do with a 1943 S quarter I found the other day. I'm wondering if it's a DD, but I'm having trouble deciding if it is or not....
Haha, well, it's def. in collector shape. I'd say F or so, making it only worth around $10. I'll double check when I get home to make sure it's...
I went to do laundry yesterday, and I was walking towards the change machine, I thought about how, after all the times I've used it, I've never...
Yeah, I realized later that it was a Justinian, but I'm still really happy with it. If it had been a Justin I for $30, well...let's just say I...
I only have about 70-80 2x2 cardboard-held coins, the rest being wheats and nickels in rolls. I have a nice wooden box for display purposes, but...
Yeah, I've always been shocked as to how inexpensive these coins can be. I also find it equally hard to pass up a ancient coin in great shape as...
BTW, it looks very similar to this: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sb/sb0163.14.jpg, esp. the color, though his face is not nearly as distorted on...
Like some of you on this board, I collect 1959 and below nickels that I pull from circ. (just as I do with wheaties). I only collect them because,...
$30 for an "M" follis :kewl:. The flan is kind of cracked on the edge in several places, but other than that, it looks quite nice. The obverse is...
I'm doing my type set in 2x2 cardboard holders with no information written on them or anything of the sort. I like a very clean looking set, and...
Glad we could be of service. BTW, Calvin and Hobbes are amazing: I honestly believe that the reason my vocabulary is so expansive is due to the...
I hear what you're saying. And I can add that, as a 21-year-old who's into numismatics, nothing is harder than finding a peer (even at the...
I was checking out a few of the Byzantines my local store had. The owner's wife collects them, and he sells off coins she has shed from her...
That's a very good question, but sadly I do not have the answer. I do know that for certain coins (like gold), it seems the low MS range (i.e. 60...
Check your local coin shoppe first. That's where I got mine.
Just over $5. This thing is tiny, though. The glass only about as big as a thumbnail, haha.
After all this time having a coin collection, I've actually never owned any sort of magnifying glass to inspect them with (unless I was purchasing...
I think he was having a bad hair day when the engraver got to work, hence the scowl. :mouth:
Def. count me in (despite it being a last-minute entry!). Now, to Google VAM and learn more... :kewl:
