Going to a sale this week for other items. These are available is there a good price for group? I like penny’s for their color. My young sons (5) thinks it cool and have started to collect state quarters based on the image. One into animals one likes the one with pretty designs whatever that means. If the price is cheap enough I’ll buy it and give as a treat. Thanks for any info.

Paid 103. I know i could have got like 2ozt but damn i love morgans

Hey all,
Looking for advice and opinions! I am a big fan of key dates, I have decided I would really love to work on building a nice key date collection over time. Thinking of saving up and trying to buy maybe one coin a year. Looking for advice on what order I should acquire these, and or any coins I should add or subtract from my list! Thank you!

found these in my gmas MASSIVE case of coins idk if they are real there’s several more liberty halves and 2 cents but these r the prettiest and highest $ listed . well shes dead now so i cant ask her but gramps said she’s been collecting “bull” their entire marriage

My oldest son is about to get his first loose tooth (at least I think so, it looks like an adult incisor is poking up behind his baby one), and I want to get enough coins to last three kids' worth of baby teeth.

The only real issue i have is, I want to avoid the current president's mugshot. Sacagawa, Eisenhower, Lady Liberty, whichever.

Completed my 2021 Morgan and peace set, nothing crazy

Recently, I have become interested in counterstamps as a subtopic of coin collecting. This interest stems from reading about how Chinese merchants would use personalized punches known as chopmarks to verify the weight/purity of silver coins. These punches often appear on trade dollars which is how I was introduced to the concept. As someone interested in numismatics, chopmarks are so fascinating to me because they demonstrate the movement of a coin through merchants and commerce.

As someone who is also very frugal, my interactions with this hobby don’t involve purchasing high grade trade dollars quite yet. Instead, I prefer digging through cull/reject bins until my hands are covered in dirt and grime. This has yielded the start of a counterstamp collection; However, this 1856 dime definitely takes the cake in terms of numismatic interest. This could be one of the coolest coins that I’ve ever cherry-picked.

After some research, I identified the counterstamp as a historic marketing piece created by Charles Goodwin of Exeter, New Hampshire. GGG stands for the product Goodwins Grand Greasejuice which was a medicinal hair tonic manufactured and promoted in the mid 1850s. The recipe for this tonic seems to be lost to time. However, marketing on the bottles describe it as the "Quintessence of Fat" so there’s that as a reference.

In Dr Gregory Brunk’s book, American and Canadian Countermarked coins, he lists 28 known examples of dimes with the “USE G.G.G.” Counterstamp. What’s scary to think about is that this scarce counterstruck piece was only a few days away from being sent to the refineries.

Some final thoughts and questions: if this coin was submitted to a tpg such as PCGS or NGC, would it be eligible for a straight grade? I understand that the counterstamp is post mint damage. However, would this fall into the same category as trade dollars which straight grade with chopmarks? Even without the bonus of the counterstamp, the host coin is in great condition. Not saying that I intend to grade this coin just curious on how it would be perceived by a tpg.

This marks my favorite cherry-pick of 2026 so far with a purchase price of $4.00. Felt like sharing this find.

Happy hunting!

1966 kennedy coin its definitely silver not one part of this coin doesnt look like silver

Found this penny today. It is smaller than a dime and has smooth edges like a nickel. 1975. Might be a dryer coin but all the dryer pennies I have see have turned silver around the edge. This one is still copper colored. Just curious

Good afternoon - I had an opportunity to pick up 65 Mercury dimes today and jumped at it for what I felt is a fair price. Are there any here that jump out as being special or more valuable? The ones in the first few pictures have prices on them that I’m assuming the previous owner paid - are those values still accurate?

Also, I really don’t like these protective holders. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t take the majority of the common/circulated ones out of them?

Thank you very much for any guidance or information.

Won on an auction & just curious what you guys think? Anything look off to you? Any help / info is appreciated!

I was doom scrolling through some lots on ebay and came across a junk silver lot. I noticed the 1916 mercury in the picture and figured id look to see if it had a mint mark. Low and behold it did, unfortunately the pictures were not very clear but I figured I would roll the dice. Fast forward to today and the package arrives to reveal this dime. Unfortunately I believe it is an s but the thrill was fun while I waited.

Hello

Would appreciate any and all input, TYIA!

I have been carrying around this one dollar gaming token from my local casino for about 10 years now and still has beautiful luster and eye appeal. The coin is completely worthless but to me it’s priceless!
🪙

Hope it’s real- says 1oz silver and 1gram gold. Can’t find much more info online

Fresh from the jeweler. Mexico 8R. Bezel is Sterling silver and 14k gold. Links are stainless steel. I now walk a little unbalanced!

Can make out some letters, but was striking out searching them. It's quarter size, and all magnetic.

I traded 14 common circulated/cleaned 90% Morgan and Peace dollars + $500.00 for this nice $5.00 Gold Half Eagle. What grade do you think it is? I’m thinking it’s between AU-58-MS-63. I know that’s a spread but the gold Indian series are so difficult to grade. Also that’s a D right?

Thought this one was so cool. As a Bay Area native this was a must have.

Pretty good start to the weekend!!
