I know it has been posted before, but I have a new computer and lost the bookmark. There were a few websites that listed things to look for when searching wheat cents. Could anyone please post those sites again. (I've Googled until I'm blue in the face, can't think of the right search terms I...

Hi, I have this auction on ebay now at : 20 U.S. SILVER HALF DOLLARS FRANKLIN, WALKING LIBERTY http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=522&item=8311712966 Thanks!

The US Mint site is a mess. I checked my orders today. Only one of the three orders made since March 15 was recorded correctly, and I haven't received those yet. One of my orders for MN quarters was suspended. ??? No explanation. I wondered why I never received them. One order had me ordering two...

In another thread the other day, I mentioned that I had bid on and won this coin: http://tinyurl.com/dnjpx I haven't received it yet, though I've since noticed that the seller has other coins with what must surely be seen as "outrageous toning", such as this one: http://tinyurl.com/9rv58

Hi, A few of you suggested I try to snipe... Well, I need to now. An auction I desperately want ends Sunday, a similar coin showed up a few weeks ago, I bid before work, 30.00 above the highest bidder, and someone sat around bidding me up until 1.00 above. They may have paid any price, but I'd...

You find a coin for auction on eBay that's on your want list. You bookmark it. You follow it for the ten days it's up for auction. You write yourself a note on the day the auction closes to remind yourself to snipe. You remember the auction TWO MINUTES after the auction closes. Argh! g

I've decided I want to learn more about grading mint-state coins. I'm reading and re-reading the Official ANA Grading Standards for United States Coins. But, I want more! I've heard that the ANA video, Grading Mint-State Coins with J.P. Martin, is an excellent video to get and learn from. So,...

The replacement for the greased up silver mint set finally arrived today. This one has a large fingerprint on the half. I'm having very bad luck with silver sets, 3 out of the last 5 sets have had problems.

Or they will by the time I get mine.... Still back-ordered on both the half dollars, but now updated to show 'expected shipping date' of 10/28/03. Alan 'wants a govmint job'

R. Vail quoted: The eight silver bars and 18 silver ingots weighed 139 pounds and are worth at least $5.40 an ounce at current market prices. If they used avoirdupois weight for calculating the value (from all appearances they did) then their estimate was a little...

Cleaning out my dad's estate stuff, we found a number of Bicentennial quarters. Are these worth anything more than 25 cents? I thing my father cornered the market. Please email so I don't lose any responses. Thanks

I had a tough time describing the Stone Mountain half. Nice looking coin with die polish lines all over the place. Then, looking closer than ever with 16X magnification, possible hairline scratches on the devices. Very faint, and I could not tell if lines were raised or scratches. Anyway,...

Imagine looking into the cash register till and seeing the obverse side of this coin. I was sure I had a teenie. Unlike most cents that sit in jars, this one looks to have had some use; http://showcase.netins.net/web/billsdqandcoins/Lincoln64.JPG Image taken with my new Nikon, uh let me look at...

I was in the Phoenix main PO today and decided to try the coin lotto. I inserted $20.37 and bought one 37 cent stamp. Guess what, I got 20 assorted dollar coins in change. 1 - 1979P SBA 2 - 1979S SBA 2 - 1979D SBA 1 - 1980S SBA 2 - 1999P SBA Those 2 mint marks look different. 5 - 2000P GD

Look what was in my spam trap this morning. Normally I just delete and go no. However, today I clicked "View Details" because there were good messages mixed in and this one jumped out at me. k6az and flip caught my eye and upon closer inspection it looks like it's all RCC. Is this a deliberate...
