Any coin collectors here?

I think the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle ($20 gold coin) is the most beautiful coin ever minted.

A 1931 D Saint-Gaudens, is very valuable. The D means that it was struck at the Denver mint, and there were only 106,000 of this this particular date and mint location struck. That particular coin in MS64 condition would probably sell for $200K - $350K at auction (Mint State 64, with the very highest grade being 70).



Please let me know if anyone would like to buy me one.

You can purchase common date Saint-Gaudens double eagles having a lower grade for apx. $5-$7K.

I'm also partial to standing liberty quarters. A gorgeous coin.

3. My husband has a 1916 quarter (Similar the above)

I think? it's worth about 3500. Beautiful coin.

4. Nice! 1916 was the first year of the Standing liberty, and the last year of the Barber quarter.

Not as beautiful, but interesting.

6. My best find with a metal detector was a

1921 D Standing Liberty quarter on Belle Island in Detroit. I found it in 1982 and still have it. It is in very good condition.

Haven’t done any metal detecting in years. I’ll have to get it out next spring and try some more.

9. I have a question for you.

Before my farmhouse burned down in 1999, I had a collection of coins that were odd, I thought. In particular, I had a Lincoln penny that had him smoking a pipe with a couple of smoke circles above the pipe. I am sure it was a secondary die strike, but was kinda cool. Every heard of them?

10. It didn't leave the mint like that...

It's called a "counterstamp" that someone added to it. It's a novelty item, but it might be worth maybe $5 to $10 to someone who collects counterstamped coins.

Someone on ebay is asking $25 for two of them.

11. Thanks LC...awesome link. Exactly what I had, in a jar that got buried when my farmhouse burned down,

No doubt someone, for shits and giggles, stamped these pennies. Damn, wish I still had,

12. I heard from one of coin sellers on TV a

couple days ago there is a older version of the Standing Liberty quarter. The first one, Liberty had an exposed breast. It was only minted for a short time before the mint had to cover the breast. They are supposed to be very valuable.
1916?

13. I collected coins in my teens and early 20s

and I still have a them. I check my change for any old or silver coins today just for the fun of it. IMO, I think both the Walking Liberty Half Dollar is the most beautiful.
