More on Guam territorial quarters

The mintage for the guam territorial quarter is running lower than puerto rico's.the denver mint is at 42.6 million.this makes it the lowest of all territorial quarters and with millions of new collectors added each year this is going to be a true key piece in the collections of many.
I have already purchased ten rolls and will probably purchase more shortly.naturally they are already at twice face value.

Guam Territorial Quarter

Just a brief note to collectors the guam territorial quarter is either released or due out very shortly.as with all coinage from this year they are going to mint far fewer than in previous years. if you can buy some rolls at double face value go for it.remember ,you will not find very many in loose change.
i wonder if jim cramer started out like this.

2009 Proof sets

On June first the mint started selling the first proof sets for 2009. they contain the full set of the lincoln one cent coins in the original composition of 95% copper. this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain these coins. just call 1 800 usa mint and order. they will increase in value due to rarity but even more important they will be historic and something to have and be proud of.

Roman Coins

At a local fair a person mentioned that they had a coin from roman times and was wondering if it was very valuable. i replied that it was probably an historic coin but most had little value because they find those coins by the thousands when they excavate.
this type of conversation is very common and brings me to the point of this blog. a coin receives most of its value by the amount of its mintage.not by its age.
naturally,once this is determined then the condition determines more of its value as well.
in the following weeks this site will show the reader some of the factors in coin grading so check back often and join in the conversation.

A good tactic at coin shows or flea markets

For those readers doing coin shows or flea markets i highly suggest you put out a box of foreign coins and price them in the low range. you will find a swarm of people who love to browse them and they in turn invite others to look more closely at your other coins.it will give you an advantage over other dealers and you will find these people seeking you out at future shows .i recently met one very nice woman who told me with the economy she can no longer afford to travel but with foreign coins she can still feel like she is going somewhere.i was glad to help her peace of mind.

Washington DC Territorial Quarters

Just a short note to readers that the washington d. c. territorial quarters and the puerto rican territorial quarters are at the lowest production levels of all previous state quarters.if you are able to find some i suggest you pick some up and put them away.even at twenty dollars a roll for uncirculated rolls you will not be sorry down the road. when i hear of other great finds i will post them here at this blog for my readers so keep checking back.

coins as an investment

i have often been asked if coin collecting is the great antidote to the stock maket downfall or the
loss of income from bank interest.
the answer to this question is not up to me but by the demand of the coins in the future. as readers of this blog have gathered i personally have invested in the field of numismatics and have seen the value increase at a high rate. these numbers have come in from monthly coin magazines and by the prices i now have to pay for coins as opposed to when i started in 2002.
an interesting story was when i first started buying pennies . a dealer asked me if i wanted the wheatbacks for my trunk to prevent skidding. i told him that was exactly what i wanted them for and hoped he maintained his mind set because it kept the price low. since that time the coins have doubled and tripled in value and i still patronize the store and joke i have not skidded once since buying all his wheatbacks.
i have seen the value of most coins double or triple in these years. now i see even some memorial cents being sold as future collectibles. in the future i will not be surprised to see buffalo nickles rise a grat deal because the one hundredth anniversary is coming up in 2013.
as with any older citizen i am trying to make some money and live my life with some meaning. coins have afforded me an opportunity i feel will allow me to do this. if i can help readers of this blog to do the same i feel my endeavors were worth while.
good luck and try to find a passion that will give your life some meaning.
excuse me now but i am getting ready for the flea market. another passion of mine.
