Under a grand, but if my wife had her way, it'd be under a bill (that's slang for $100 in today's lingo, BTW). But that's why I don't tell her...
Ha, it's a coin that is so worn it's basically just a piece of metal with no discernable design on either side. Sometimes, esp. when you buy...
Here's a decent tutorial: http://ancientcoins.ca/cleaning.html
Ha, this thread just shows how geeky we all really are. Haven't had a coin dream in a little while, but when I do, it almost always involves me...
Some people (like me and a few others here) buy uncleaned Roman and Greek bronzes. They're very cheap (usually only a few bucks a pop), but it...
No offense taken. I had kept the note in my wallet, and spent it before I could toss it in my collection. Oh well. I've been meaning to pick up a...

I will be retiring in about 40 to 50 years, and hopefully I will be able to retire WITH the coins I'll continue to acquire until then, as long as...
Welcome. I take a peek at them almost everyday. I just love opening my display boxes and lookin' at all that metal, haha. I only closely examine...
Thanks for the info! I checked eBay too, and though I always stay far away from that place, it did give me a general idea for my price range.
I don't have too many, but I'm constantly thumbing through my Red Book, my Charlton guide to Canadian coins, and my Klawan's ancient coins book. I...
Har-har... :goof: I prefer collecting lower-mintage keys and semi-keys in the best conditions I can afford (for some, like my 1917-S type-1...
