Found two of the bookshelf albums, that's the one I still need...

Hey Guys - I appreciate the feedback. Wording the search correctly netted me some results. Ebay UK has options that I'm considering, would really like to find those nice bookshelf albums. 

That's a start, thanks for the help...

I love these large coins, want to start an album, can't find one. I have several dating 1914 through 1966.

Does anyone in the community know if there is a manufacturer out there and where I might find them, new or used?? 

Thanks.

I'll spare you the back story and ask this of the group. Is this double headed half dollar legit?? We can't find anything on the internet or Ebay and we can't find any obvious signs of a 'counterfeit' mint error. The only reason I included a picture of the side was because whatever the marking is on the Kennedy side extends into the reeded edge. Thanks - Scott.

Keep hunting - I have ALL of them ( Feel free to click the image below my post ) What is considered Circulation Issues and a couple of oddball

error coins is 105 coins so you should be close. Perhaps you can buy one from the OP :-)

Currently, the bulk of the hobby budget is going towards grading, much less going to acquiring. But you're right, the hunt is where the fun is...

You dirty dog 

I have over 100 Morgan's in my collection and I don't have an '88 S 

I'll take a stab at it. I'm going to assume what you're calling cull coins most everyone else calls junk silver, coins with little or no collector value, dates worn completely off, little to no detail left on either side. Those are worth buying strictly for their silver content or melt value. The wife and I have been to a couple of coin shows this year and there are dealers selling them by the baggie full.

The PCGS Coinfacts page is very helpful - thanks.

I appreciate the help...

I have an 1878 8TF Vam 2 - NGC 60 coming back to me. I cannot find a value for this coin. As was suggested in the Red Book thread, I checked CDN Grey Sheet, Ebay Sold, and Great Collections auction archives. I hope this link thing works so you know I'm not making it up:

Any other resources to check, thanks.

I got this at a coin show in March, just got it back today from NGC:

I remember my first coin purchase about 45 years ago.  My mom was shopping in a book store, and I noticed a little display cabinet with coins in it.  It had all kinds of u.s. coins that I had never laid eyes on before.  I noticed some of the prices on the 2x2's were .10c & .15c for old wheatback pennies.  I had $1.50 (allowance) to spend, so when I asked my mom if I could buy some pennies, she said "why don't you buy one of these penny folders, and try to fill it up with pocket change.  I still bought a few pennies that day to start my collection, and I've been going at it ever since.

Cool story but the real question is: did your mom buy the penny album or did she make you spend your allowance? 

I bought a flying eagle cent back in the '70's from a coin shop my dad would would visit every once in a while. They had a bid board - still open today, still go there regularly in Dayton, Ohio. It had been drilled to be worn like a necklace, little to no collector value, got it for $2 or $3, gave it to a coin collecting friend when we moved a few years later from the suburbs to the sticks. 

Taking a chance on an 1878 8TF Morgan, with every intention of cracking it and submitting it to NGC...

...not paying market.
