I'm hoping the luck I had earlier in the week with my boxes of halves is indicative of things to come, but I can't get another box until Thursday...
I picked up 2 boxes of halves yesterday, my first since Christmas and New Years. The Bad: I opened the first box and saw 3 or 4 rolls that were...
Ah, so were these disseminated by banks in exchange for silver certificates? Was this done separately from or in conjunction with the US Treasury...
Great thread Vess, and thanks for the info, Condor. I too have at times wished for answers to many of the questions posed here about the...
Last year I read an article that claimed the US lost roughly $9 million minting the cent. Kind of a drop in the bucket, all things considered. I'd...
Oooohhhhh the possibilities!!!!
You are not too critical, passion is a good thing, and you should feel that way. I don't care what you collect- comic books, action figures,...
Sorry I didn't see this thread until after you made your purchase. Congratulations. My first gold coin was a 1924 Saint, NGC MS-62. The $10...
I wasn't aware of that either. I do keep all '02s and up because of their low mintage numbers. I've already got close to 2 rolls of '06-Ds, but I...

ANGS? Never heard of them. Coin looks genuine, but the obverse is really baggy in the photos. Notice the rim ticks on the reverse from about 5...
It depends upon a few things. You would likely get a lot of different answers to this querry if several people replied to your question. I've read...

Don't know too many people who search rolls of dimes and find silver. I think that's great, especially the Mercurys. Congratulations!
This week I got two Romanian 250 LEI coins out of a box of halves. One is a 1939, the other is a 1941, 83% silver. eBay shows them selling for...
.....and two more last night, one pretty worn, but the other in nice shape (AU-50). Three '87-Ds in a week. I only found one in the first three...
I knew the mint was going to stop making several of the Buffalos and Eagles, I just had no idea they'd run out so fast. I thought it would take...
According to the Mint's Web site this afternoon the 1/10 oz., 1 oz., and 4 pc. Buffalo proof sets are no longer available. Anyone hear why? I'm...
Very interesting thread..... I'm not anyone who should claim the moral high ground about anything at all, so I'll get that out of the way....
