The Men in Your Coin Collection
Although mom always warned me about how dirty money is, there is something so satisfying about feeling these Ancient Presidents faces, the cool smoothness and slight relief of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln’s face.

Reagan Coin Supplies
Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the U.S., is dearly beloved. So much so that after J.F.K.

When I found out it was just the opposite, that instead, older dirtier coins are worth much more, I sifted through my great grandmother’s change box, looking for dark [...]
Why Do We Love Our Coin Collections?

Walking Liberty Silver Dollars and Silver Coin Holders
