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.

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.
