I would like to take "good" (loaded word, I know) photos of my coins. Ideally, all coins would be raw, not encased in anything. That would enable...
I was just pondering my numismatic life, and am kind of embarrassed to admit that I really don’t know much about anything, numismatically! I’ve...
I regret my purchase from the US Mint. Back in the day, I bought two sets of each year of the 50 State Quarters Proof Sets, 1999-2008. I don't...
Besides collecting coins, I "collect" dead people. Not what you think - I work on my genealogy/family history. There have been a lot of chatter,...
Hey everyone! It's been like 7 months since I've been on CT and CU. What have I missed??? LOL! Had a busy year. Bought a truck. Father-In-Law...
