Hello from a small town in Northwestern Montana, which is well known for our asbestos. Libby is 90 miles from Kalispell and a 120 miles from the nearest interstate. We are very remote.
I have collected coins since I was eight years old or so, but have never seriously pursued the hobby. Most of what I have is collected from coins I receive as change. I have plenty of the Denver mint, and San Francisco show up on a regular bases, But Philadelphia coinage are hard to come by. I would image there are many who have just the opposite problem. It would be nice if there was some way to swap coins. I have more than my fair share of uncirculated duplicates. Edited by bmar

to the CCF! Live just south of you on MT200. I stop by the pawn shop/Music store/coin shop (Yes three stores in one) in Libby all the time to look at whatever new coins they have put out. |

I have been into Rocky Mountain Music several times, and have bought different items over the years, but have never bought any coins there.

Way over priced was my view of the coins they had. I usually only buy a coin if I have just a few left to complete a set or it is a good buy.
To all:
Thank you for the welcome to the forum

I have been buying Morgan dollars off of ebay and they usually run 20 to 30 dollars....Morgans have always been my favorite. I bought my first Morgan at a gas station/cafe for 2 dollars.... that was about 1967. |

Thank you NumisRob.
I flew into Heathrow back in 2004, on my way to Iraq, and I had always know the traffic was on the "other side" of the road, but it was great to see the double decker buses and traffic flowing so different from here in the states.
