I'm just curious if the mint has completely lost touch with reality. I don't know a lot of collectors who still buy from the mint for themselves....
The mint could restructure its offerings across the board, and bring back a lot of old customers. No need to offer five different quarter designs,...
I agree 100%! Your purchase might be the deciding sale that brings that vendor back the following year. You can always buy online what was not...
We made something similar to these in metals class in junior high school. I think my parents got rid of mine when I wasn't paying attention. Now...
Love these! Every once in a while I spot one of these at a local antique shop, or find one for a deal on ebay. These are, in my opinion highly...
I agree, Burton. I am a member of a couple non-profit organizations outside of coin collecting, and there seems to be a trend across the board....
Agreed! This was still one of the most exciting and enjoyable collections to complete. I did it on a teenager's budget, and still ended up with...
I do the same. These are a neat piece of collecting history, and hopefully attracted a few collectors along the way.
I have always traveled light when it comes to coin shows. My wat list, a wad of cash, and a magnifying glass was all I needed. Unfortunately, many...
I have been keeping any nickel 1959 or older for a couple decades now, expecting my children might start collecting one day. Sure enough...they...
I completely agree! It seems as though the mint has become a cash cow for the federal government in the last few years. I used to even like the...
I really love the idea of the map for statehood quarters. It is a great way to get young collectors into this hobby! My daughter took over my map...
I agree they have to cover costs, but silver is about $24 per ounce. This is beyond making a modest profit.
I just had to browse through the U.S. Mint website recently, to see what was new. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised at the terrible...
Good point! I have to admire the simple coin collectors who just grab one of each design! No worrying about mint marks, finish, composition, or...
Not sure if I missed something, but I would certainly hope a large majority of the profits would go to charities supporting families of fallen...
Thank you! I would just assume that a certain football team (currently without a name) may be a bit more offensive to anyone with Native American...
I guess I did like the look of the satin finish coins in those six years of U.S. mint sets, but I suppose many who purchased the mint sets to get...
I have to agree. I do realize that the U.S. Mint takes pride as one of the few government agencies to actually consistently turn a profit, but $32...
So, back to the OP... I would assume he was hoping and praying for an "S" mint mark on the reverse of that 1909 Indian Cent as it is referred to...
