Arizona is coming out for another round

The fourth territorial quarter will be the Grand Canyon in another scene.Although, I have reservations about another quarter of the same scene it just so happens to fall into the series and will probably not be highly sought after by the general public like the state quarter.

However,as readers of this blog know it will help complete your series and down the road you will be glad to obtain a roll.

In all honesty 2010 is a rather dull year for coin collecting as compared to 2009 but there are better days ahead. One will be the Lincoln presidential dollar coming out in a month or two and in 2013 the Buffalo Nickel will be one hundred years old.

Perhaps,these future issues will get my adrenaline flowing.

BEWARE OF MANY COINS

I am sure most readers of this blog already know this but for beginners let me stress to you in simple and direct terms do not buy any high grade coins from flea markets and off the internet unless it has been graded by a reputable firm.

As most experienced people in the field know China is allowing counterfeiters to flourish in their country and they are great at duplicating old coins and leaving off the word 'copy' which is against the law .There is no coin off limits and even experienced dealers in our country are getting fooled all the time.

If this keeps up the numismatic field will disappear because of lack of trust for coins and our country has taken no action because they do not want to upset their biggest trading partner.

Even if they do take action it may be to late due to the millions of coins already in the mix.

The only action to take is buy from reputable dealers and make sure the coin is graded and guaranteed genuine.

new uses for one cent coins

I have always tried to get people to think of new uses for the one cent coins and would love to hear your ideas. Some of my own would be using them in flower arrangements,using them as golf ball markers, passing them out at anniversary parties to mark that special occasion or using them as buttons. Whatever is employed makes no difference as long as people enjoy them .

I would love to hear your ideas so please let me know so we can share them with others.

Also,remember www.reminicents can supply them for these special occasions as well.
