Hi all, Is it my imagination, or do coins in ANACS holders tend to tone gold around the rims? -- Mike

Well it looks like I won't be designing (or submitting) any more designs for US coins. I was not selected to be in the US Mint's "Artistic Infusion Program" (AIP). Those artists (and regular US Mint staff) will be the only ones creating artwork for coins. Unfortunately, there is no longer any...

Does anyone besides me find it a little troubling that the mint has had in their posession 10 1933 double eagles for almost a year without anyone knowing about it. Even more troubling is that they are refusing to return the coins to the family that has held them for so many years. Big...

There was a coin show here last Friday and Saturday, one of only two for the year in this area. As it happened I had to go out of town Friday evening to attend a birthday party for my great neice who just turned two. I decided to take off work early so I could go to the show before I left. My...

Can anybody give me a short course in determining an early and good and circulated reproduction from the real deal in standing liberty quarters?

Alot of the new issues have the same coin, same mint mark, but one unc and one proof. Do you guys think both are need for a collection, or just one example? Just wondering what the group thinks. Russ

Tonight we have 24 nice items ending on eBay. I'm going to run through only the items that seem way too low right now in bids. Be sure to view seller's other auctions for the complete list. Cherrypickers' Autographed Fourth Edition - Right now under $12. Surely this is worth more than...

When I was a kid back in the 1960's, there were coins in circulation that were dated all the way back to 1909. In fact, if you had the money, you could go to the bank and get silver dollars dated all the way back to 1878. What exactly happened to our money? I've heard all of the excuses, but none...

Just got back from the local Barnes & Noble. OMG, they've went and done it --- A LARGE PRINT edition for the 2010 Red Book --- complete with spiral binding. Slightly smaller than the l x w dimensions of a copy of Numismatic News. Suggested retail $29.95. Next year a braille edition??? The way...

As Obama's spending orgy sinks America deeper into financial turmoil, he is about to turn Uncle Sam's acute funding crisis into YOUR problem. In fact, THIS WEEK Obama's Treasury and Labor Departments are holding outrageous, executive branch hearings on nationalization of retirement...

I would like to start investing in precious metals, but I'm not sure where to start. I know nothing about coin collecting and don't really want to get into speculating future value based on collectibility - nor do I want to start purchasing older coins for their collectable value. So should I...

So, ever get that "lack of focus" feeling? I keep trying to concentrate on one or two sets that I am working on but it's not easy. 6 sets I am actively working on now: Franklin MS's and Proofs Kennedy MS's and Proofs SAE Proofs Silver State Quarters (might work on other state proofs then...

I saw the image you posted on 11/7/2003 in abpn under the subject line of Digital Proof pics. Excellent image! Was it made with a digital camera? I've been having trouble getting good images of silver, and even some CuNi coins on my flatbed scanner. Less reflective coins come out fine, but the...
