If you are interested I will give in mint and proof sets I'll give a good price for all.

I picked up this Lithuanian proof like 10 centu given out at the fair.

I believe 1 of only 500.

Wow just found this thread in a google search. I did not know the baltic coins were

" re-released " in the 80's and 90's.

These are not counterfeits but rather coins coneca offered for sale and I picked up a set.

I like the offbeat items sometimes. Almost a year later they sent me a piece struck by the

canceled die.

Glad to help.

These two overlays could help you see what to look for.

I know salt and lemon juice cleans the bottom of my copperclad pots and pans.

I was just looking thru omnicoin and saw a feature where it displays coins people are offering for sale. Being

I am fairly freshly back into collecting and really do not know the people I guess I need a little advice.

One person whose coins I was looking at had some very nice coins which had great pics. This person has

about $250 worth I would like to purchase. When I have bought thru forums in the past I have been on the

forum for years and felt I knew and could trust as reputation is everything probably more in coin sales then

in most things.

I need to know is there a protocol ? You sure don't send out that kind of money after just an e-mail.

Or do you? I would really like opinions.

Well I sent 8 of the 1925 centas into pcgs and received grades the other day. 4 in ms66 and 4 in ms67.

Once I get these back I will send the rest in. Also some cross overs from NGC. What do you guys think of the grading company's ?

Coins of the same grade I have seen from NGC and PCGS shows NGC holds coins to a higher standard. At least for world coins.

Here are some pics of he pcgs 66 I received and another from an original roll I picked

up a while ago. I am curious what you guys think the raw one would grade.

I sent in 8 and have another 6-8 to send in.

The pcgs insert which holds it in place makes it look round.

I am of Lithuanian heritage as is my wife so I am currently working on this set of coins. Lithuania was a free nation at this time and coind their own money. I was lucky to pick up an original roll of 1925 one centas a couple years ago. I also purchased this slabbed example the other day in PCGS ms66. Comparing the coins from the roll to the 66 example I feel I have at least a dozen that should grade better. And I am grateful for that because not only do I want a set for myself but also my four sons. I will image the coins when I get a macro lens for my new camera but here are some older pics,. and auction pics. I copied.

I found these interesting because they were issued by the U.S. Government and

are hard to come by in uncirculated condition.

The following is from " The Official Red Book".

1c....Aluminum....5,000 minted

5c....Aluminum....5,000 minted

10c..Aluminum....5,000 minted

25c..Aluminum....3,000 minted

50c..Aluminum....2,500 minted

1$....Aluminum....2,500 minted

5$....Brass..........1,000 minted

10$..Brass..........1,000 minted

Were in circulation for about six months 1935-1936. After which all but 200 sets

were redeemed and melted down. Each token is the size of the corresponding

U.S. coin with the exception of the one cent which is octagonal.

Thought I would share my bingle collection. They were made as part of Roosevelt's "new deal".to midwestern homesteaders who setteled in Palmer, Alaska

. undated 1935 uniface tokens were issued .

I looked in the PCGS population report for German 2 euro and they only list 1 type.

I thought the might list an "A: and "B" side as they are separately as they do with

the U.S. presidential dollars.

Tooth paste to clean a coin I have done in the past. Now he most I will do is use something line Koinsolv or acetone

and gently roll a q-tip over it. I have heard a product called" goo be gone" works well to loosen glue or other gunk.

Hi. My name is Joe and live in north Jersey in the good ol USA. I have been collecting about 15 years now. I have been away from collecting the past couple years but have started back up again. One of my 15 year old boys has an interest so we will be going to shows together and such. In the past I was mostly into variety US cents. I would buy them enjoy them for a while and either sell them or not pay much attention to them. Now I have a nice set of A.R.R.C Bingles. They are Alaskan tokens issued in 1935 by the govt. My current quest is to complete a high grade uncirculated Lithuanian coin set 1925-1938. I have bought some nice ones in slabs and sent some in myself to be slabbed. I figure it's nice to know their opinion of grade but I can let the kids look at even the most expensive ones with no worry of ruining a part of history. Also the lithuanian mint sets from 1991 to present. I might start a graded set for those as well.

I think the most fun will be giving my boy a limited budget and good coin books to read and seeing what attracts him at the shows.

My wife just bought a nice camera and I am going to pick up a macro lens for it so with some help from above I hope to share some nice pictures with all of you.

Boy I can be long winded : )
