National Park Quarters
For years and years, I have been traveling the country trying to see each and every one of America’s beautiful National Parks. I have a little book filled with stamps that’s sort of like a passport.

Coins Celebrating Our Cultural Heritage
Recently it was stated that the United States Post Office would allow for living people to be commemorated on stamps in the upcoming year. This was a huge departure for an organization that has for many years been evolving its process of choosing stamp subjects. From the time they commemorated Elvis until recent year’s inclusion [...]
Stolen Coin Collection
I was young when I got the first coin I loved. I don’t even remember much about it. I remember it was bronze. I remember it was larger than a quarter and I remember it made me want more. So as a young Scrooge McDuck I was collecting any kind of coin I could get [...]
The Frome Hoard and Coin Holders
It’s important to protect your investments, whether they’re large scale or small scale. Physically, I mean.

Choose an Andrew Johnson for Coin Collecting
Andrew Johnson, 17th President of the U.S. from 1865-69, finally gets to stand in the limelight with a new addition to the Presidential coin collection. And learning about these presidents is part of the fun of coin collecting. Succeeding arguably the greatest president is no easy challenge, and Johnson, a Southern Republican from Tennessee did [...]
Reagan Coin Supplies
Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the U.S., is dearly beloved. So much so that after J.F.K. I’d say he’s probably the most popular president of the second half of the 20th century (it’s still too soon for Clinton’s sex scandal to be forgotten and for him to occupy that spot. Maybe when he dies). [...]
Silver and Your Coin Collection
If your coin collection has stagnated recently, it may be time to get some new coins. Think about selling some of your old ones! If you’ve been coin collecting for a while, you may know that coins made before 1965 are higher in silver than new ones. And since silver is close to an all [...]
Coin Collections for Kids
You may pride yourself on your coin collection and the thousands it may be worth, but it’s not something you would let your kids play around with.
