Denver Collectors ???

Any collectors on the boards located in the Denver Area?

I sense a request for D minted moderns. Am I right?

Me, in a past life [1963 - 1981 when I was a kid through a starving grad school graduate].

I remember a coin shop in downtown Denver run by an old time dealer named Brown [Dan Brown?]. I picked up some coins from his shop and still have a couple.

I also plucked from pocket change some nice MS (please do not start the "if you got them from change how can they be uncirculated" discussion) Denver mint silver and early clad coins in the 1960's and 1970's. Still have most of those and some are durn right purdy to looky at.

Since I got out of school and have worked for a living, I have done so in California.

P.S., I also remember a coin store at the Cinderella City shopping mall located in Englewood, Colorado [built in the 1960's and torn down in the late 1990's I think]. Did some shopping at this coin store when I was in high school and college. Picked up an 1830 bust half in 1977-78 time period for $30.00. I still have it. Dealers who have looked at it opine a grade of XF-45. I thought about dropping $75.00 on a MS bust half but thought it was to much money for a college kid.

I also remember the coin store in the mall going absolutely nuts during the silver run up in 1979-80. Lines of people with silver coins galore, silver settings, etc. and gold clamoring to sell and cash out. What fun it would have been during that time period to be a coin dealer and to buy for bullion all of the proof and mint sets you could and then, after hours, cherry pick them to your heart's content.

Count me among the Denver natives and collectors!

Nope, not looking for D Mint moderns I got enough of them! I'm just trying to find out my neighbors on this board!
Next coin show in Denver, we'll go toss down a few!

The only coin shops I know of in town that offer decent stuff is Tebo Coins in Boulder and Rocky Mountain Coins on Broadway in Denver. There's a schmattering of other shops but none that I have ben impressed with.

At any rate, hello brothers!

I've never been to Tebo, but I have bought a couple of coins at RMC. I have also bought from a coins and comics store on about 64th and Wadsworth. But I live in Aurora, so I have dealt the most with All C's Collectibles. In fact, I found this one there today:



PM me before the next show and week can throw back a few!

Crackout, beautiful toned Liberty Nickel.

I also have purchased coins at RMC on Broadway. A couple of years ago I picked up a 1951 proof set in an old holder. The Frankie was toned a wild purple and yellow, however, underneath it was cameo all the way. I gave the half a bath to remove the toning and the cameo revealed itself. It now sits in a cameo proof frankie collection I have tucked away in a capital holder.

I also picked up a couple of proof sets with nice cameos from the two small shops next door to RMC. I always stop by when I am in the Mile High City.

Does Colorado Springs count?
