Hi all ! I'm collect coins ( preferably pennies) and enjoy looking at them with a magnifying glass to observe and appreciate the casting, patina, design, etc. It all started when I was younger and my father and I would compete finding coins on the ground. As I've gotten older my children would say I'm a little 'obsessed' with looking everywhere I go. In saving for the year just to see, I pick up usually between $60-$80 a year. Not bad for free money!
I look forward to chatting with other coin collectors and gain some insight on some of my interesting finds!
Cheap numismatic neo classic art at it's highest level? - A Weinman Liberty Walking half dollar, blast white, with cartwheel luster, in high MS+ grade.
Adolph Weinman, besides being a medalist of the highest order, was also an artist and a sculptor.
Even the artistically uneducated such as myself, can appreciate obviously excellent art.
It's much more lucrative to pick up modern coins off the ground in modern cities or so I find but then there is nowhere near the sense of satisfaction as you get from making your olde finds... is there?
Here's one from my collection that I love to look at. It's a 1992 American Silver Eagle that has a large strike through. Whatever caused the strike through may also have caused the coin to tone over the last 30 years in the ANACS slab.
Hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see what you collect!

Was it silver with some guy on one side and his bird on the other?!? If so, it's mine! Gimme gimme gimme!
