Donna Vasquez Coin grading explained Dec 14, 2025 3:56 pm

MS-60 to MS-70 scale. The difference between MS-65 and MS-66 can be thousands of dollars. Learn to grade by eye.

Replying to follow this thread. Very useful discussion!

Bob Nakamura State quarter collection progress Dec 1, 2025 10:56 pm

The 50 State Quarters program is brilliant for getting kids into collecting. Only 3 states left for my complete set!

Bob Nakamura Detecting error coins in circulation Oct 10, 2025 9:56 pm

Check your change! Doubled dies, off-center strikes, and wrong planchet errors are still out there. What to look for.

Saving this for later. Will report back with my results.

Tried three different approaches before this one worked. Persistence pays off.

Solid advice. Been doing it the hard way for years - this is so much better.

Posting so I can find this thread again later. Genuinely useful stuff.

This is the kind of content that makes online communities worthwhile.

Donna Vasquez Silver coin investing Aug 30, 2025 5:56 am

Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, and halves are 90% silver. Buying at spot price is essentially investing in silver with numismatic upside.

Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Tried this last weekend and the whole family was impressed. Big thanks!
