Since I was 8 in the fall of 1985. Started by searching Lincoln cent rolls with my dad.

Wow! That's the stuff of numismatic dreams!

Yeah, he's got $11k in silver (.18084ozAg/coin * 40coins/roll * 217rolls * $7.01/oz spotprice = ~$11003.54 in Ag) and he is willing to sell it online for less than 3/4 of its value when he could walk into any coin shop in the country and get $10k for it or more right away. Looks like he's fishing for people who are looking for deals that are too good to be true. I'd run away from that if I were you! The thing about his 55DDO furthers the point that this is probably a scam artist. He knows that slabs are numbered and identifiable, so he was smart enough not to show a pic of it. Like I said, RUN!

wow! those are beautiful!

$270 for this...

82P and 83D quarters from Wally World (both in F/VF)

Me too, the coins from my late uncle's collection are the ones that will never be sold.

It is cheaper right now to buy those 5 quarters individually. The proof set collectors seem to be driving the price, so the individual coins are a little more modest. Good luck!

1793, I'm a boring US coin collector

smells fishy to me...

It's circulated for me! I enjoy completeness more than pure beauty.

Albums: Littleton: Lincoln Cents 1909-1958; no SVDB, otherwise complete, Lincoln cents w/ proofs 1959-2005; complete, Mercury Dimes 1916-1945; 67/81 complete, Liberty Nickels 1883-1912; 21/33 complete, Dansco: 7070 Type Album; about 75% complete, but all coins have been removed as I intend to do this with all holed coins now, Kennedy Halves 1964-2005; complete Whitman Classic: Barber halves 1892-1915; contains only 1 coin, Whitman Bookself: Franklin Halves 1948-1963; complete, Lincoln Cents 1941-1974; complete, The Coin Collector: Walking Liberty Halves 1916-1947; complete, Folders: Shore Line: Lincoln Cents 1909-1940; 54/89 complete, Lincoln Cents 1941-1974; complete, Whitman: Lincoln Cents 1941-1974; complete, Liberty Nickels 1883-1912; empty, Roosevelt Dimes 1965-2000; empty. That it.

What makes you think it is unslabbable? I spotted it as a 21 in a huge bucket of junk silver by just glancing at it. I expect that a grader familiar with the series, and its wear pattern, would spot it as a 21 pretty quickly, too. Oh well, we'll see, eventually I intend to try submitting it, just to see what happens.

Joe, 2 answers... 1) When this situation is encountered in Mexico (the only country I've visited that has this issue) the merchant will round the tax up to the next 10 centavos and then give "change" back as little candies. 2) When you buy gas the price isn't even cents, so what do you do when the amount you owe is $5.251? Well, the gas statin solves this problem for you by rounding up to the next cent and charging you $5.26. You accept it and it isn't a problem and the same would happen if the cent was eliminated.

Add me too please!

I was at my friendly neighborhood coin dealer yesterday looking through his "junk silver" bin (he charged me 5.75 times FV) for some circulated Franklins to finish a set and I found this coin. I would like your opinions on the date. I have my opinion and I will share it later, but I want to know if I am imagining the date or if you can tell too. The coin is probably a F2 in grade (that's what I voted for), but I would like your opinions there too. Even if it isn't worth anything I only paid $2.875 for it so I'll be ok. Obverse: Reverse: Close-Up of Date: Well, what do you think?

agreed, I'd like to see a pic...
