That's a shame. I'm in Illinois. The Old Abe eagle is of great historical interest. You're right about what Wisconsin got instead.
Do take this comment in the positive way in which it is intended: the present clearly demonstrates your membership in the Lucky Sperm Club! What a...
I had two brass tokens, in shiny shape, and over the course of the year, they dulled and now have greenish blotches on them. How does this come...
Heck, I'd like a coin press. I'm very interested in coin design and aesthetics. BUT I decided some time back to drop my pursuit of a Peace Dollar...
I've got an electric guitar under there, too.
Aesthetic appeal. It exists. I'm rereading Double Eagle right now, in fact, by Alison Frank, on the 33 copy.
I think a new subject for the half dollar is a good idea. 50 years for a coin is a long time. The Roosevelt, too, and perhaps even the cent....
They will have prise my 25th Anniversary ASE set from my cold fingers. . .

I am very eager to see my set when it arrives. It's nice to see the US Mint put out a good product. I was among those disappointed by the...
I'm up for dollar coins. Dollar bills are ganchy filthy.
re: businessmen running amok I am careful, always, about saying that businessmen know how to solve every problem. Even before the great...
Dollar bills are filthy; I'm up for a coin any day.
I agree with the above. I ordered only 1 set, but now wish I had ordered a few more, (albeit simply to resell them!). At the end of the day, I...
I particularly like the Iceland medal. Fascinating.
Like many, I received an email from the US Mint apologize for the recent difficulties in its order-taking occasioned by the sale of the new 25th...
I keep wanting to dig up Mercanti's address, now that he's retired, and ask him his thoughts about US coin art. I'd like to see if he agrees with...
Hmmm. I actually LIKE the cranky old guy running the coin shop here. The cranky old guys are part of the hobby's attraction.
