These are, like the coins, little gems of good things, collected by a knowledgeable and involved numismatist.

Take a few minutes to appreciate and enjoy these. :)

    I look forward to reading them over the weekend.

    Reminds me of instructional posts on Franklins by FC57Coins. If you are into Franklins, this is worth a visit.

    I'm not a big "gold bug" so.....MEH!
    Besides, these gold threads are taking up A LOT of real estate. Seems like every other thread is (was) about classic gold...try page 3 of these forums, BJ owns page 3.
    I need more threads about 2 Cent Pieces Bill!

    I collected 2 Cent Pieces in 1980. Back then I did it because the coin market was nuts, and there were few, nice, attractive coins that did not cost a fortune. The coins were almost all EFs with a strong "WE." The general statement I can make is that the 1864 Large Motto and 1865 2 Cent Pieces are quite common. As you go though the years, the coins get scarcer. The 1872 is especially tough in EF without problems. I never found one. It is easier to buy in Proof.

    Is there a CoinWiki around? A lot of this information is deeper and broader than what you can get from CoinFacts B)
