Great advice, BadThad. In fact, these Lincoln-Kennedy pieces are one of the more popular counterstamp novelty items and definitely would attract...
While online guides are great, I still consult magazines like "Coin Prices." Print periodicals obviously don't reflect momentary bullion price...
I am finally tackling my most challenging (and perhaps most expensive) numismatic goal to date and that is the 19th century type set. While I'm...
And for a little further discussion -- the 1981 Type I "S" is actually the same mintmark as the 1979 Type 2. Make sense? So, in other words, the...

Gee, in 2043 I'll be 62 and probably still have to be working for many years to come!!
I agree with Abe. It's only a matter of time before we see copper-plated steel cents. Frankly, I'm amazed the U.S. Mint is still authorized to be...
Neat thread!
I've been collecting for nearly 20 years and second all those here that say you A) shouldn't invest in modern proof sets and B) shouldn't invest...

Congratulations! What a great feeling. Are you working with an album? I agree about the 1922 plain being an error. I bought mine only because...
I saw a slight drop in the price of the '31-S across the board some months ago. I have also seen mixed activity in the higher grades for many...
Here's some big American silver :thumb:[ATTACH][ATTACH]
I collect Lincolns and have a complete collection - while I have noticed at the very least a price stagnation, I have to agree with the comment...
Sounds like a fun set! Are you going to stick to a G/VG set? I've never tried collecting Barber halves as a set, but having purchased a few...
I read somewhere that a certain kind of rinse was used on Philadelphia cents of 1980 and 1981. Nearly every single one I have seen in BU from that...
What flavor of coin do you like? $1,000 will buy you: A nice G/VG 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent G-F 1922 plain Lincoln cent Draped Bust dime in G/VG...
As for exact dollar value, I can't say. I always feel a buy price of 60% to 75% is pretty fair, especially considering dealers have to pay for...
Hey, everybody -- I just found the deal of the CENTURY! A 10 coin lot of common 20th century coins for only $21 MILLION! Oh, and it includes free...
I haven't seen any 1982 or 1983 souvenir sets on here yet, so here is a photo of mine -- they belong to my run of mint sets from my birth year to...
