Official coin collectors thread

There's tons of star notes in circulation, who knows- one day they might be worth something

 

Lol I know the feeling, They are really helpful books tho

 

Lucky, I gotten some pretty good deals but nothing like that so far

 

Got this in my change today , the new " Bison " quarter

 

You must not be working very hard, as I dont see any calluses.

 

My whole hand is a callus

 

From what, never mind....

 

Ah, coin collecting. My first hobby.

I have lots proof sets from random years, lots of commemoratives, and a few uncirculated sets. More stuff from recent years than older stuff. But, I do have a big jar filled with loose silver Walking Liberty half dollars, Morgan Dollars, and assorted silver dimes and quarters. My great-grandmother apparently had a huge chest filled with silver coins that she saved over the years and us great-grandchildren were lucky that she saved them.

Only thing I disliked about coin collecting is storing the coins. In Waimea (where I'm from) the humidity is pretty high and it's a challenge trying to keep the humidity in my safe down, even with the aid of those small dehumidifiers.

 

Pretty good coins, got any pics of the morgans?

 

Pics of the Morgans will be posted in a minute or two

 

Every year I buy at least 2 American Buffalo proofs from the mint, and the other goal is to have the complete "Preamble" series of Platinum Eagles. Funny how an ounce of pure gold or platinum feels heavier somehow...

Otherwise, got some good NGC certified uncirculated Morgans of various mints/years, with more to be added. Also want to find some good "Walking Liberty" St. Gaudens gold.

I figure, I'll use some of it to retire, and the kids can have the rest when I'm gone

 

Ah those are sweet, they're worth quite a bit of money now

 

Just in sliver they are worth money according to all if Jasmines research on them

 

my 5th grade teacher gave me a barber quarter she found...thats actually what started my coin collecting!

man, I gotta get home and go through mine now...

 

We literally have hundreds of pennies, quarters, nickels, and dimes to go through. For example, had no idea that there was a half dime minted for only 3 years until I busted everything out

 

Did you do the collecting? Or is it someones estate?

 

my grandfather and mom's collection... from inheritance

 

Thread revive.

Grandma passed away a few weeks ago and these will be passed down to myself and brother.





See the rolls below the coins? All mixed silver half dollars... There's two boxes full of these. Morgans, peace dollars, buffalo nickels, little bit of everything...

 

I'm thinking about selling the halfs and purchasing some older gold U.S. Coins. There's a couple that are separated off to the side that are in absolutely amazing condition.

The coins are currently at my parents house but I really want to get my hands on them to start valuing and seeing if anything stands out.

What's funny is I never used to be into coins, until couple months ago I found my first pre 1964 quarter in the cash register. Since then I've found a few more, and just today I got in trouble with the manager for popping open about 10 rolls. No dice

These silver coins really are works of beauty..
