Another neat "walk-in" at the store today! by
Wes Chormicle
A guy calls at about 4:30 (we close at 5) and says he has a "few" "old
silver dollars" and could he bring them in and have us tell him what they
are worth. I ask him a few questions and find out that everyone of them
came from circulation "back in the 50's". So I'm thinking common date
circulated...

Coins, Google, Yahoo by
Reid Goldsborough
I was just playing around again with Google and Yahoo. Try this: Type
in "coins" in Google's search field. First non-sponsored site: U.S.
Mint. Second site: About.com's coin and stamp collecting section.
Third site: Me. Cool. OK, I know this sounds like bragging. It is. I
admit it. Shoot me....

Australian Walking Liberty Privy Coin by
Mame
I thought this might interest some US coin collectors. It's an Australian
NCLT with a privy mark of Walking Liberty. The item description gives a
little more detail.

About those new nickels by
Fred Shecter
Did you notice how the obverse design is almost EXACTLY like the proposed Presidential
Golden Dollar coin portraits?
WAY cool looking.
And those two reverses look great as well.

Depositing old coins at the bank? by
Gretchen Dukowitz
Hi all,
While cleaning out an old bedroom, I uncovered jars and jars of old
coins. Old, dirty wheatie pennies, buffalo nickels that are extremely
worn (you can barely tell that the animal on the coin is a buffalo at
all), and at least $500 in Kennedy half dollars and Eisenhower dollar
coins (none...

Quarter bag frenzy by
Dave Allured

$405 for a $25 Delaware-D mini bag? Yowzers, that's 16 x face value!
BU rolls of DE-D are easily had for 2.5 x face. But it gets even more
stratospheric. One went last week for $1000, 40 x face!!
This one is an RCC'ers auction, not...

R!
I bought one set of the 5-coin silver proof set earlier this year and

he was showing what I thought was the 5-coin version but then he said he
would throw in 5 more silver coins (the quarters) for "free". Is what he
showed...

At ten thirty this morning, the mint is unveiling the new nickel designs for

NGC versus PCGS Grading by

Howdy;
I collect MS 65 Franklin half dollars, so my observations are based on

Knee jerk (emphasis on "Jerk") reactions - if you wish - but please

I spoke with the gentleman with the complete set of Morgan's last night. He
thanked me for our honesty in the offer to by his set. If you remember,
another dealer (some shop in Las Vegas, NV) had offered him $600 for the set

Nickels, I told you so by
Alan Williams
So the latest mint news makes it seem certain that the Jefferson Nickel, as
we knew it 1938-1967 and 1968-2003, is an obsolete design.
I hope others have been prompted to do as I have done and rescue the
remaining examples before they go the way of the Buffalo, the Passenger
Pigeon or the Indian...
