If you continue searching long enough you'll run into stretches where you'll go through 6 or 8 or 10 boxes and find nothing. I know, I've been...
Cents are cool, no doubt. I've been working on my set of Lincolns for years, all pulled from rolls. Never let anyone tell you what you should or...
Cool, dude. I had that happen about 15 years ago with a roll of dimes- Barbers, Mercurys, and Roosevelts. It is still the best find I've ever...
The answer to much of this seems fairly simple to me, but then again I wasn't blessed with an overabundance of brains. Still, I'll take a stab at...
Nice one, clembo. I had fun reading it and had a good laugh. Thank you.
Silver up 64¢ today according to CNN Commodities. All I can say is WOW!
Cloud, I'm more from your school of thought. Nevertheless, I really enjoy listening to my co-worker's rationale. It's a subject I rarely tire...
A fellow I work with who's in his late 50s has collected everything from antique radio parts to discarded satellite dishes to piles of scrap lead...

I read somewhere that it costs the mint something like $9 million anually over face value to manufacture the Lincoln cent. That is a paltry sum...
Phoenix, Yeah, I hear you. I've never put a set of BU anything together. My Jefferson, Mercury, Roosevelt, Washington, Walking Liberty,...
Roosevelt Dimes are a great suggestion- I overlooked those. So, how about (don't laugh) Statehood Quarters? Or maybe zinc cents, 1982- present?
A set of Ikes wouldn't be that expensive, and Ikes are cool. A set of Kennedys isn't that bad either. I've been working on one for the last couple...
Here's a scan of a gold plated one: [IMG]
I too have found several counter-stamped Kennedys while searching rolls of halves. Some were gold plated, others were polished. The years the...
Interesting how you define a "real" collector- someone who doesn't view coins as commodities- versus a speculator who hopes to some day turn a...
Yeah, I also read somewhere that Teddy Roosevelt was a numismatist. I'll post the source if I can find it.
Heck yeah, I'd keep 'em. Nice finds!
