The world of numismatics has been sort of "back burner" stuff for me for a while. But I can sense the interest being quickened within me once again. As I sit here and ponder over the material that I enjoy collecting, I've asked myself this question -- "What is it within the realm of numismatics...

Doing some research on pieces of eight, from cobs through pillar dollars to busts, and it strikes me that it has very good claims to being the greatest trade coin of all time. Curiously, I don't believe I've seen it referred to that way, in print or online. The first great trade coin was the...

Neighbor told me she had a bag of coins and it broke as she was leaving having quite a few drop through the slats in her back yard deck. She wanted to have me use my metal detector to get them and I had to keep asking why when the coins would just be sitting on the dirt underneath the deck. ...

Recently, I was buying a New Zealand Ten Shilling note. The Cook version, from 1940 onwards. It was comfortably within my budget. But, I mentioned the earlier version of the Ten Shilling, with another design, from 1934-40. And, my dealer's assistant pulled one out. It was, shall we say,...

I was helping a lady in my place of employment a few days ago. She had two girls with her, apparently her daughters. I suspect they were something like 8 and 10 years of age. I didn't hear the previous context when they walked up to me, but as they came closer to me, the youngest girl said,...

Back on July 29 I got a notice from the Mint that my subscription 2008 silver proof set would ship within 4 weeks. It's been 5 weeks now. IIRC, in the past it only took 2-3 weeks after the automated notice. With all the Mint's problems meeting demand for silver, has anyone experienced a similar...

I know I'll only be bitched at, by people by claiming that dogs deserve to be honored for their service to man, but since people say that the half dollar is of so minimal importance, I was thinking I should propose a series of "Famous Dog" half dollar coins. The "Famous Dog" half dollar series...

Hello The state of Louisiana and the Federal Government spent a lot of money to restore the old New Orleans U.S. Mint building after being trashed out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now it looks like Hurricane Gustav (and maybe tropical storm Hanna), may again trash out New Orleans and the old...

A friend of mine just bought a 1961 Proof Set, in cellophane packaging that appears fully original. The set contains two nickels and no quarter. He didn't pay a premium..in fact he bought it pretty cheap, as a "damaged set." I don't recall ever seeing this kind of thing. I'm finding...

Last night I found a '55 and a '56. I gave the 5'6 away to the employee who could guess the year the closest. The kid guessed '55. I kept the '55 to look at better. Today, counting the till at 4:00 found a 1908 small cent. It's in better shape than the '55! Not a bad holiday weekend, only 2...

....but I was looking through some state quarters just now and paused to study the Wyoming offering to the series. Mercy! What were the good folks in Wyoming thinking when that design was judged as the winner? That design must undoubtedly be at the very bottom of the heap when all is...
