i want in :-)

I am sure everyone has heard of Littleton Coin, and have purchased the occasional coin that they offer in the sunday ads (atleast I have). Well yesterday my wife was going through the ads and put one to the side from Mystic Stamp and Coin Company, where they are offering a 70th anniversary pearl harbor coin. Littleton in my mind is pretty reputable and I have never had any issues, although when not buying from one of their deals the mark up will be very high.

Is Mystic Company reputable?

Has anyone used them?

Also they are claiming the coin is free if you send in $2.95. I did a simple google search and can only find like 3 reviews. 1 bad, 1 good, and 1 was so-so.

There website is this: www.mysticstamp.com

2012 D puerto rico quarter

Welcome to the art of collecting coins. Error coins are fun to search for, however I do not think these are errors. I believe them to be normal wear and tear, others might think differently. But on the Quarter there might be some doubling on the mint mark, but I would believe any extra value it would add would be lost due to the chip near the 'OF'. Wait for more people to chime in, and I would reccomend showing the quarter to a coin dealer.

I ran across this today while reading some local news. The pictures are pretty cool

My purchases have slowed down because a good part of my disposable income is now being used on a mortgage instead of rent. But happy I bought a house

a picture would help

I understand that Art. The commemoratives have always had a soft spot in my heart. And when I buy them they deplete my monthly expenditures on other coins

Got my star spangled banner commemoratives today. they are pretty

still nothing arrived by the way

Ditto

Got a 2009 P DC quarter real nice condition with doubling around the piano leg and the "ke" in duke. (anyone seen that before) Going to try and get a good pic of it when I head over to a friends who has a better camera. Also from the same cashier I got a 1974 Canadian cent

I bought 2. One proof and one uncirculated. I love the design and can't wait to hold them

sadly no

Do you know when this coin is available?

My opinion is that the United States government should obey the Constitution. Federal Reserve notes are not legal tender in any of the States. Only silver or gold can be legal tender. Stop making unconstitutional money, return to a sound non-inflationary money, and stop making the lower denomination coins obsolete!

YES GENIUS!!! :yahoo:

They ran a special about this on the local news here. Interesting I wonder what other metals would be in consideration.

DITTO generosity is very rare!!! I think I might have to try this in the near future.

Sweet.

When I was five i grabbed one of grandpa's silver dollar and tried to buy candy.... grandma stopped me :-(

A bicentennial S quarter. Looks like someones child broke into a coin collection and put a coin in circulation that wasn't supposed to be. But a happy day for me

As weird as this sounds I got most of my national park quarters while in Yellowstone

At the local coin show today I finished my War Nickels in BU pics to come as soon as my new camera comes in the mail

So I want to give this a shot. Question though.... I bank at a credit union, I am wondering what the best practice is:

1. Purchase a box of nickels/dimes at a branch, after searching deposit at same branch

2. Purhcase a box of nickels/dimes at a branch, after searching return to different branch

3. Purhcase a box of nickels/dimes at a branch, after searching return to a seperate bank/credit union

Chad,

 

Jeffersons are a lot of fun. Great coins are pretty much available. Have fun with this set and keep us updated on your progress.

I will keep everyone updated. I am in the process of buying a good camera so I can also put up some much needed pictures that I keep promising the forum.
