Have You ever seen colored cardboard-mylar hoders you know the kind you staple ive never seen them in any color but white. It's a wierd thing to think about I geuss but I'm a little wierd
To me it's a goal of any collecter to aquire at least one rare or valuable coin to highlight there collection
I was talking to this guy about what i would do if i was rich i told him i would buy a 1913 liberty head nickel he said if he had one he would throw it in the trash it seems peoplle have no respect for numismatics
To me, you're either a collector and you understand collectors or you're not. For instance, I am a collector. I collect coins and several other things. I don't collect snow globes and have no desire to, but I understand what drives those people and what makes snow globes collectible. I think most people that don't understand collecting and don't have the "collecting bug" don't necessarily disrespect collecting, they just don't get it.
Well I guess it depends on the size of the truck---if it was a large one I might take it and sell the coins and then buy the 1913---but then I really don't think I want a 1913 either.... Speedy
Funny you mention snow globes. A lady at work has been collecting them for many years. She is ready to sell and they go for some seriously large amounts of money. She is probably going to make ten times what she paid for them. I'm a collector, but also a speculator. Yesterday I took a look at my Mercury dimes and put 20 of them in an album I just got (used for a dollar). The rest are doubles or extras. I have 61 Mercury dimes. To sell off the 41 extras now won't be much profit. But if I hang onto them another 5 years maybe they will bring a good sum. I don't plan to buy up all the dates I'm missing to fill the album. I did that with the Roosevelt dimes and now can't sell them. So I'll just sit on these 61 Mercs for 5 years or more. My idea of collecting is to save the coins. Just keep them if they have any age to them at all. The Mercs are all older than I am!
Silver prices will be about $15.00 an oz. in another 9 months, so you will sell them then. By the way, they're not Mercury Dimes. The so-called God, Mercury was a male, the dimes are winged Liberty head dimes. Clinker
confusing names I show some of my friends(who are collecters) mercury dimes and people(who are not collecters) will ask if there made out of mercury and I feel obligated to explain why we call them mercury dimes
that's true I will look at some coins and be baffled by the age for example I had just bought a guy out of foriegn coins and there was a mexican 1888 1 centavo my grandpa was born in 1929 41 years later!
Yes, yes I have read all about that. But the majority of coin collectors and the public in general still call them Mercury dimes. The winged head of Liberty is a symbol for liberty of thought. The wording on the front of my Whitman album says "Mercury Dimes". So I'll take the Liberty to call them Mercury dimes!
Well that is what they are saying. Twenty seems to be the magic number. The exchange traded fund has tied up a lot of silver but the experts were wrong that this would drive up the price. Silver does seem to be more stable than Gold. Maybe when they can't dig any more out of the ground the price will rise!
