Hello all: Just to let everyone know, I am now totally into my coin collection. I loved my insect collection, but could not afford two expensive hobbies. Here are some photos... John  |

I pull US wheat pennies out of circulation.
When I was a kid we'd buy $50 in "silver" dollars from the bank, sort out the real silver, return the remainder to the bank, repeat.
My favorite coin is a counterfeit US Franklin half dollar.

Do you ever send them to NGC? Actually, I have many US graded coins. Problem is this, coins from auctions in Germany/Austria/Italy/Spain/UK have a much stricter grading process then in US. For example a German graded coin EF (extra fine) would be MS 62-64, while a stempelglanz (uncirculated)would grade MS-66/67. Kinda a lot like difference in butterfly grades from one dealer to the next. Here is an example, this Souvrano d'or from Lombardy-Venetia 1831-A Emperor Franz II of Habsburg was graded FDC by Varesi/Italy. Heritage auctions had a MS-67 in auction, mine was way better quality.
