I wish there were different words for these two coins - or at least for the 16-d Merc. They're more than keys - they're the holy grails....
Well, according to the title of your thread, it has to be lincolns. "In the day", that's what got you started collecting - you collected pennies...
Actually, finding or having a circulated 1970-D might be more valuable than getting the UNC one. After all, EVERYONE has the UNC one since it...
It's also the old "it'll be worth something to someone someday" mentality. As Carl and others have said, there are jars and cans and drawers...
Seriously, a question. I search Rosy rolls for recent stuff. I've never, ever found a silver one. I really don't want to start a new...
I agree with the person who talked about AG/G grading. That is a science all in itself. Depends on date and coin. Interesting.
It was a joke
My "CLEVER" remark is the coin I want to buy. I WANT to see that the seller has SERIOUSLY undergraded the coin. I am therefore going to dive...
As someone who buys a roll or two here or there, don't freak out - my friend!!! Relax! When it comes to going into banks and asking for rolls...

I think Carl is right about our collections potentially ending up in a coin counting machine. Many of us say that we want to pass it on, but are...
I think we have to realize WHY it is illegal to melt cents and nickels. Because if it were LEGAL, we would run into shortages. Why? Because...
Here's a subject I haven't seen in a thread. What does everyone do to control and manage "coin clutter". Here is what I mean. You may...
I would normally not say anything, but it seems some people are Coinlover's post seriously. FIRST, show me a dealer or ANYONE else who will...
I'm guessing an even more serious revision. With 2009 coming up, I really think the zinc/copper cent is gone and even though the price of raw...
Rages are hard to predict! At SOME point, things will at least calm down. As ConGal said, it depends on disposable income. do people have...
Ok, I'm going to break Forum decorum.... Is your Avatar from the NBC series Earl? Or is that you? And if it ain't Earl and it ain't you,...
Followup This is a followup on the "Do you have to accept a $100 bill from a customer". I'm guessing there will be replies saying that "no,...
