Well, after much debate with myself, I finally broke down and ordered a proof from the mint today. I thought the $800 price tag was a little...
I'm not really a nickel collector either but, like some of you, I keep all that I get in change that are older than 1960. I can't help myself.:D
I've found this hobby/obsession of ours to be a lot more personal than other interests (cars, fishing, computers, etc.). Only one of my friends...
I'm just north of you in Wyoming. For the past 6-8 months I've been working on a Dansco Kennedy album that runs through 2007. I'm missing maybe 5...
I think a quick search of the forums will reveal quite a few roll searchers hanging around CoinTalk. I've been doing it regularly for...
I'm in agreement with Midas- keep minting the cent, retire the $1 bill. I'd like to see a $5, a $10, and a $20 coin too.
1958-D Roosie in change at work this evening.
About 5 minutes ago I was handed a 1944-P war nickel. That was the first one of those I'd gotten in change in probably 10 years.
Hmmm.....hard to tell from the scan. Might have been an early strike? Looks like it could be XF-45, possibly AU-50.

I used to participate on the eBay coin forum, but it lacks a lot of neat things that are also useful. The biggest omission is an archive. I found...

I've seen a few 2006-Ds already, nickels too. Yesterday I got two 2006-D Kennedy halves. I was really surprised by that.
Yeah, I can say that prices have influenced my buying habits. Several years ago, when silver was hovering around $4.50 an ounce, I started...
Nice Jimmy, nice. OK, so are you going to tell us how many 40s/90s it took to get that baby?
There were no 1970 Philadelphia Kennedys. The 1970 D and S are hard to find in circulation- no business strikes were produced. The 1987 P and D...
A friend of mine is considering bidding on this cent:...
Ah, my results this year (since 10/05) have been less than stellar. My average for rolls searched per each coin found is terrible. I get a few...
Any coin with an assassinated president depicted on it will be hard to change or eliminate altogether. I do believe that if the mint or the BEP...
Hey, I look at all of those types of things. About a year ago I went to the bank to deposit my paycheck. The ATM is right by the second set of...
