Re: 2006 breast cancer test piece coin

Interesting, I'm guessing that the center was designed to have a color applied. Can you tell us any more of the story behind it???

Re: Silver Dollars

Bill is probably right about the two coins, but rather then getting rid of the '65 as scrape silver try and find a young collector to give it or sell it to , its in very nice condition and would make a good starter coin for a new collector. I like the idea of getting the new generation started with ...

Re: Cashing in old bills

Socrispy , sorry if the info provided has not been what you would like to hear. I’m sure that what was offered was meant to help, they are yours now and you alone can decide what you would like to do with them. Your uncle was obviously a collector and it sounds like he collected some stuff that he c...

Re: Cashing in old bills

Ya some times it’s not worth the effort but still maybe you would be starting a new collector if you found a youngster that would buy them from you at face to start a collection. If all you get is face at the bank anyway.
Happy New Year to you and everyone out there that’s part of the collecting clan.

Or find a coin show or sale that is near you and take your stuff there talk to a few different coin dealers. Sorry to hear that you are willing to distroy the currency rather then have someone find som...

Re: Regina 60 Years
