Coin Collectors? Anyone out there?

[Elijah]

Congrats on the buffalo nickel! That's a great find. I also collect (mostly foreign) commemorative silver coins. I am just starting though and have lots to learn. Welcome scooter.

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.
