Coin Collectors? Anyone out there? [Archive]

I just recently started collecting coins, both for investment and for the love of it. I particularly like collecting coins as art. Anyone else a collector? I would love to connect with other folks who do. Here is an example of what I am currently coveting:

What is that? I collected coins when I was in high school. I recently found it in my recent move. I am way behind in knowledge of coins these days! I look forward to connecting with coins again!

It's a silver coin from The Cook Islands commemorating Westminster Abbey. There were only 2,000 minted and they obviously don't circulate. The Cook Island and Belarus have some brilliant pieces.

I use to colect coins but have no idea where they are,but I do have a 125yo U.S. silver dollar back when a silver dollar really had silver in it.I had it checked once they said it was worth about $12.00 that was years ago..I just figure it may be worth more later so I hang on to it.

That is nice. So what direction are you going to take your collection? Commemoratives, US, foreign? I have collected Pre 1964 US Coins. I still run across these even today. I have a jar that I put them in and at some point will put them in the collect cases. So, I am not an active collector.

Mostly foreign commemoratives, most of what I buy is precious metals due to the investment factor. There are a few things I would like as far as US currency, like an original buffalo nickel, mercury dime, any coin that was made from silver. Remember, anything you think is worth anything don't handle it and don't wash it, that takes away from the value.

I will have to check for pre 1964 coins in what I have. Any particular reason for your collection strategy?

OS Butch

I picked that year because 1964 was the last year that regular circulation coins were 90% silver. The Kennedy half dollars were 40% silver through year 1970, then had no silver. So, I have Kennedy's up to 1970.
In pennies, I picked the 1958 as the collecting date as that is the last year of the wheat backed penny.
When I was in school I was a cashier at a High's Dairy store, so I ran across these quite often in the early 70's.

So I went through My spare change yesterday and it was fun, I found a 1919 wheat penny and a 1941 mercury dime and several other things that predate 1965, but those where the highlights.

That was fun...now I am looking around to go through other peoples spare change..lol

Yes, that is how I got a lot of my silver, pocket change. I really can't remember where I got the buffalo nickels and Indian head pennies. I started with the blue collector books for Lincoln pennies and Jefferson nickels.

i do collect coins and bills....i am always looking for wheaties and bicentennial quarters(i have around $100 worth at the moment)--both,mainly,bc i just like them and they are no longer made...i also collect error coins--if i come across them..i dont buy them...working in the service industry once in awhile i come across old coins or silver ones(bills too). matter of fact i opened a roll of nickels last yr i had gotten from the bank(i do this with all coins i get for the store) and to my surprise i found a PERFECT 1935(or 38 cant remember) buffalo nickel..i mean it looked like it had just came out if a case...i was told buy a dealer it was worth only $35..hell i was excited bc i paid a nickel for it...i also collect foriegn coins if i come across them.

the only ones i will actually buy are the old silver dollars...and ive been known to just buy silver rounds..........everything i buy/get/pick up are for investment purposes--longterm....i recently purchased a 1925 stone mtn commomerative coin--a salute to the Ga soldiers..i got it for $25--which was an awesome deal.

i LOVe this stuff,and am glad there is a thread for it....looking forward to learning/hearing more.

I also collect some coins. My father (born in 1920) still has a lot of the original silver coins. He has a lot of the mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, wheat pennies, indian pennies, and even liberty dollars and half dollars. I have been through his collection looking time and time again.

I did want to share that a good way to find coins is to start cycling through wrapped coins from the bank. Let them know you want a few rolls and take them home and sort through them. You would be amazed at what you find sometimes. Keep the circulation running and you can build one hella collection. Just wanted to pass that tip on to fellow collectors. *Wink.

Oh. I also have hella large stamp collection too. Anyone here collect stamps too?

Elijah

07-24-2011, 07:34 PM

Welcome, Papa...thanks for the tip. I was trying to figure out where I was going to get My next fix. Now I know *s

I used to dabble in stamps as a kid, but I didn't stick with it.

07-24-2011, 07:36 PM

i also check Craigslist...when i first moved to Florida and decided to get into collecting a little more seriously i found an ad for 5 silver dollars pre 1900 for $40. one of them has a nice deep rainbow color to it.

Papa--good idea...at one time i had a teller that would call me and let me know when they had eisenhower dollars and half dollars. i was keeping my coins separated by denomination in cardboard cigar boxes,but i recently found wooden ones for a buck a piece so im about to switch to those.

just some advice i found very useful was to keep ur coins in plastic coin rolls--made for all denominations..it keeps them from rubbing against each other and scratching themselves up.

Elijah

07-24-2011, 07:48 PM

Good tips. I recently bought some paper coin flips to put Mine in, but I am not sure if it is going to be cost effective to do that as My collection grows, especially with coins that have already been circulated. I have also seen plastic sheets that house maybe 20 coins per sheet so they can be viewed without being handled.

07-26-2011, 04:12 PM

Yeah, precious metals are really high right now, that's why I am entertaining Myself with U.S. coins at the moment. The 2.00 bill I have has the red stamp and as far as I can tell those are the ones that are worth more than face value. I bet your $50.00 bill is worth more than face value!

yeah the red seals are worth more. i was told the $50 is worth 3xs that,but not sure..i got alot of my kennedy halfs and eisenhower dollar coins from the bank...i even managed to get 2 rolls of silver half dollars from there---total luck!

i have several $1 silver certificates..all in the 1950s......i still find the best place for coins is craigslist or the occassional yard sale...sometimes a flea market is good if its one that has vendors that can just come set up!

just an fyi...i tend to ramble--my thoughts go all over the place..in case it wasnt obvious yet...:lol2:

was out yard saling today,and ran into a guy that guy the coin below in as good condition as picture shows...and got it for $25...i was drooling bc he got it for a steal! as for searching rolls at the bank ive never really done that except with the halves and eisenhowers...might be a good idea to get in with a teller or 2 and find out when the elderly ppl bring in coins--most of the time they can tell if its just regular stuff or if older!

of course i am always looking for the bicentennial quarters just bc--even have my staff looking!

Sounds like you did get a good deal. One question, why do the bicentennial Eisenhower dollars have such a high melt value? Are they silver?

I was saving wheat sheaf pennies off and on. Now that copper has gone up it's hard to find any pre 80s pennies. I check any I get and only 1 out of 30 is pre 82. Buffalo nickels are impossible to find in my change now too. I should have hung on to them earlier.

I collect coins and paper money - especially of the foreign nature. It started when my mother gave me world war two era reichmarks and it spiraled from there. It doesn't look like real money to me, which makes it all the more fascinating. I have mercury dimes, buffalo nickels, silver dollars, etc... but it's the foreign money that lights me up.

scootebaby

08-06-2011, 07:48 PM

i guess i need to research copper pennies..never gave them much thought--except for the wheaties-but i see tons of pre 80 pennies at work all the time!

as i said before i collect paper money as well..tons of $2 bills,several silver dollar certificates and old 5,10,20 and a couple 50s..i also collect bills that have 5-7 of the same #..dunno why just know of ppl that collected them so i started...its actually kinda hard to find bills with 5 of the same #s let alone 6 or 7.

Found a 1945 wheatie today as I ate my lunch and browsed through my massive penny pile...

I am going to have to expand into other kinds...

Ya know, when I was in college I spent a summer in a small town in Italy on an archaeological site. It was an Etruscan site and I was the only one who found a coin. It had Pegasus on one side and perhaps Helen on the other. It would have been stealing but there was always a part of me that wished I had just dropped it into my pocket...

It looked something like this:

i think i have some...they are circulated,but i can check the condition bc i got them in several rolls i bought...i can always take a pic first and send....but before i commit let me look thru them.

CityButch....i woulda struggled with dropping it in my pocket aqs well...but like u i bc my damn conscience tends to get in the way....i try to pick up foreign coins whenever i can...and ancient coins look interesting as well

i picked up a 1998 silver eagle and 4 ozs of copper rounds for $50. i know copper isnt a great buy,but they looked so nice and they were different than my collection i just had to have it!

i went thrui my 800 wheaties the other night..got a couple teens and a few 20's and 30's...most of them for 40s & 50s...but still they are worth 2-4 times face value so definitely worth it!

Question for coinees:

My son and I saw some--I think they were Liberty?--dollar coins at a shop the other day, in plastic cases, and they were selling for, like, 79 or 89 cents.

You can imagine how exciting that can seem to a 12yo. I admitted to him that I hadn't the slightest idea what was up with that.

scootebaby

08-15-2011, 11:16 AM

if im understanding correctly...liberty dollar coins for less than a dollar--im guessing they arent real....liberty half dollars or whole dollars usually run upwards of $35+....IFthey happened to be real snatch them up!

just my .02

tapu

08-15-2011, 12:40 PM

well that's bizarre. i can't imagine this place would have fake ones. it's not like fake ones are desirable for some reason and so could be on the market legit?

this is a gold/jewelry/coin place (oh, and beanie babies, don't forget beanie babies) that's a large established business. i sold them a bunch of jewelry that day and the price seemed fair to me. (well, not fair, maybe, but standard or above)

it's out of town but i'll check. i'm going to check what asa has, too. his grandpa sends him dozens of cased coiins.

08-25-2011, 07:54 PM

Thank you for looking. It's the hardest year to find because they are 90% silver, the four years after 1964 are 40% silver and beyond that they were made with unremarkable metals.

How is everyone else doing? Any new acquisitions?

scootebaby

09-10-2011, 08:51 PM

Hey Elijah....I spent 7 weeks fighting with Workers Comp to get paid so unfortunately i have not purchased anything new. As far as MY suggestion on what coin to purchase i would go for anything silver before non silver.I like buffalo nickels,but there arent a lot out there worth much money. With the dimes and quarters you get the melt value as well as the age value. Of course thats just how i look at it!

Also morgan dollars are always a good buy as well!

happy hunting!

Hey Elijah,

Congrats on the new acquisiton. Nothing wrong with Buffalo nickels. I actually came across one at work-1938-thats worth about $40. It was a lucky find. If i havent said it before i am trying to collect coins that have dual value...history/age and metal value. I used to collect bills as well,but have backed off on those in the last 8 months or so.

Happy Hunting!!

I'm not a coin collector (I buy original vintage photographs and rare paper items) but this auction is well worth taking an interest in:

http://coins.ha.com/common/auction/catalog.php?Sale_No=1161&type=mayf-1161-tem091511

Heritage Auctions are getting fantastic prices for the top tier coins just now - on the back of high commodity prices, their September auction in Long Beach, CA raised €34m in sales with some of the rarer coins going for high six figure sums.

Their forthcoming auction, detailed above, has some great items too and presents a good opportunity to view some high-end coins / high-end investment part of the market.

Yes, the website can be somewhat confusing. However, it can be worth persevering with. Also, there are benefits to registering (which is free of charge) as that gives you access to their inventory of prices realised from all of their auctions over the years.

I buy occasionally from Heritage Auctions but vintage photography rather than coins.

to heck with today's hike, i have a thrift shop to raid!

just got 2 vf flying eagle pennies....and they still had 4 good, and very good.

going to have to go back, some of the other coins were in my ranges....pennies, nickles, dimes. got an 1864 shilling, nice markings also, but with well worn edges, legible tho, so probably at least a vg, going to have to look it up.

oh, great prices, too!

merry christmas to me

I collect both coins and paper currency - particularly foreign currency. I am also developing an interest in Notgeld.

I have more of an interest in paper money, my more recent purchase were some coins from Poland. I have a collection of buffalo nickels, mercury dimes, wheat pennies, Morgan silver dollars, etc.

We have quite a collection, but one day I'll have to sort it all out.
