Coin Collectors? Anyone out there?

NJFemmie · 08-06-2011, 04:28 PM

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.

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.

I am looking for a 1964 Kennedy Half...does anyone have one they would part with? Uncirculated would be ideal, but it doesn't have to be.

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:

*sigh*.... There will come a time I start an ancient coin collection... I just know it!

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!
