OK, I go through a LOT of dollar coins each week. I don't examine them all, but I do indeed stop and look at anything that looks super shiny or odd. That's how I found a Golden Dollar planchet back in 2000 and that's how I stumble upon the occasional proof coin that's been spent and wrapped with...

http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=610536&section=news Wouldn't any ancient coin or artifact being sold from the UK be suspect? How could you know the history of it?

I've had this coin for several years. I'm not really a coin collector (only have about 20 or so coins). At first I didn't think much of this coin, but I've never ran across another one like it and neither has anyone I showed it to, including bank employees in the caribbean. Does anyone know...

Hi all, I had a question about Coin albums that I just don't think I can really get an answer to by doing websearches or research, This is more of a need opinions from fellow collectors kind of questions. I was debating buying an album for some Sac Dollar Coins, I have my list narrowed down to 2...

Ok, that's not the best advertising, but maybe it caught your attention. My last two coins were both won by RCC members so it does pay to advertise here, and maybe I can give a friend a good deal. I don't seem to have time to list more than a couple of coins at a time so here are my current two...

I haven't read all the posts lately, but did anyone see the ACG advertisement in this month's coin world? It "thanks" a prominent poster on RCC who was involved in his infamous lawsuit. What is this, a joke? Or have I missed something about the whole ACG matter? Please let us uninformed but...

Oh, say, can you see James Higby, Byron Reed, and Samuel Morgan on the ANA Board? Then, we can run one of them for President of the ANA. (Who will survive the triumvirate?) I guess we need to get memberships for our two stray lambs. You know, I don't think that there is anything in the ANA rules...

I'm no collector but have a bunch of inherited old coins. I have ID'd all except these two and the local coin guy can't help - can you? I can't see any readable date or country marking on either as they are very worn. See them at: http://community.netidea.com/teekay/temp/unidcoins.jpg

The following is a letter I sent to organizers of a recent coin show. Let me preface it by saying that I'm a relative newcomer to coin collecting and that this is my opinion.
