For some reason, these thumbnails are not click-able to make them larger. I'll try and get the high res shots up tomorrow.


You need to use the code labeled "direct link" and put it between the images tags.... [img]URL Here[/img] You can hit the Inherited-An-Old--Piggy-Bank button above your post to fix it.

Well I fixed some of the pictures. Thanks for the tip. I am going to continue working on the list as you guys recommended. I think ultimately they will end up being worth more for the silver than to a collector. That's ok, I might just keep them around anyway. This is starting to be fun!

For Yotie - Yes, I do like video games. Not the new xbox or playstation type - I find them way too complicated. I do, however, love saving the old ones and building new ones from scratch.
Cheers!

Building new video games from scratch? I can remember back when I'd get the Byte magazine and input my own video games! (sorry, off the coin track)

It's all about the fun! People tend to become collectors after they're given something like this. You might find one of the coin types to be interesting to you....that's how I started on Lincolns.

One other thing to consider....you could sell a lot of the coins and get a few really nice ones with that money.

acevedor2...don't listen to BadThad...

He'll soon have you searching for BU 1990-D's...

He's a very evil man....


All joking aside, the *fun-factor* is very important. If it's not fun, it feels too much like work. Welcome to the forums!


(on another note...Final Fantasy on "super NES" was a really fun game...)

Hello there acevedor2, You may never know what you might find, Your List of Mercury dimes should catch some attention, There are rare over dates in the 1941 and 1942 look closely and you might find that you have one.

Good luck.

Yep, I think it will take me a little while to catalog all of them. I figure I'll get a little done each day. I checked the Mercury dimes for Over Dates and didn't see any of them. I haven't checked for the Type 1 Quarter yet. I didn't know either of these things existed before your posts. Thanks! I think I'll go through the wheat cents today. That could take a while!

Found one of these while going through the wheat cents:

I also have a lot of these WA State Tax Tokens. I google and searched this site, but haven't come across anything that gives a value. Any ideas?
