Coins are interesting.... Cheers, RickO
Half dime is just a nickel.
Don't quote me on that.
Coins are fun to collect!
Nope! No 'nickel' in a half-dime...
The Lincoln cent was designed by Victor D. Brenner.
Toning is just as subjective as grading.
The Saint-Gaudens high relief 20 is the most byoooooooteeeful coin ever made or even conceived in the entire universe and always will be!
Rare coins will always be rare but not necessarily valuable.
You won't buy the book before you buy the coin.
DMPL Morgan's under MS64 are actually hideous looking but no one wants to say that out loud.
Coin dealers are honest businessmen that are just trying to earn a living so that they can support their family.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
If you are 75 years old.....you have lived through a third of the history of US coinage!
Morgan dollars (sometimes referred to as liberty head dollars and other names) exist with various dates and mint marks..
All letters of LIBERTY do not have to be visible to possibly grade FINE.
Most coins are made of metal and are approximately round and when they have a hole in them they will usually be approximately round.
Too many coin dealers know much less than they think!
"Over time, the number of letters needed in LIBERTY to warrant a grade of Fine will tend toward zero."

Many rare coins are not rare.
Coins are indeed an investment, but often not a good one.
A 9 Cent coin would not just be impractical, it would also be just plain silly

Too many collectors know much less than they think too!

Plastic matters.
There is no Santa Claus in Numismatics.
My good man....you are clearly bewitched, bothered and bewildered.
I'm not a dealer or collector of coins but I certainty know a lot less than I think! How about you?
Ownership increases the grade by at least 1 point.

It's better if the legal arm of the Federal government isn't aware of your collection.
If you aren't constantly seeking knowledge about coins, you're just a hoarder rather than a numismatist.

TDN has nice Dollars.

Though it will be tough to prove.
Not all coins are round

DIMEMAN will never buy a gold Centennial Mercury Dime from me.
I knew it would happen.
A buried coin is Treasure

A denominated coin is Measure
A collected coin is Leisure (British pronunciation)
The United States Mint needs to sell bags and rolls of ALL denominations at anytime for the general public at reasonable prices.
