  • I only care about eBay problem sellers and arguments between forum members. Coins? What's that? ;o)

    I care mosly about early coins and tokens that have an interesting history surroudning them

    I like coins with eye appeal, but I'm not into the toned stuff the way you are, Mr. Dizzyfox. To me that stuff is massively overpriced.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I care about coins. I care about all my coins from the commonest circulated to death wheat cents to the uncommon or key date coins in my typeset. Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars are my favorites.

    I could care less about the vast majority of eBay threads -- same story different day. The gold buffalo has been beaten to death.

    I really enjoy seeing new coins and informative posts on this forum..Mike

    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?

  • I am only here for the soap opera "As The Coin Turns" the latest episode is about the mystery of the disappearing coin and is a 1 ounce gold bullion coin really worth $5600. I am waiting with bated breath for the latest chapters. image

    You have to blame that on the spell check,that is the way I had it but it was changed by the spell checker and I did not go back over it. So much for spell checkers. image
  • Mike inFL what would you grade that CC 20 center? I have one that look almost exactly like it, a bit more detail in the reverse.

    Would you say Fine 15, or is that too generous?

    There are many impressive coins from all regions of the globe... lets not limit ourselves here...


    I think a US Type set is a worthy undertaking... whether slabbed or the 7070 Danso... or an old Whiman Blue bookshelf II Volume set or even the older Library of Coins... buy what you like and have fun.


    As for World coins, there are several coins from Austria, Italy, France, German States, England and Mexico that are truly amazing...

    next time you are at a Large Coin show, take a look at all coins and look at the history and artistic merit... there is alot more than you think to appreciate... seriously...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
