I would like to start collecting 1 ounce gold coins: Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, etc. Anyone want to send me some? :laughing:

Best I can do is send you this pic of one, hope it helps!

I’ve updated the list. Looks like untracked it is fairy cheap to post to the USA, sending them tracked is going to be prohibitive though takes it up to £8 , untracked is as low as £1.50.

If you guys find the post is too expensive please don’t do post them, it is just not worth it and I’d feel really bad too lol.
I can get mine into a ‘thin letter’ category (in a slice of cardboard with tape all over, no wrapping) you may also be able to get away with a letter size?I know contactcr said it would be like $1.15 – $1.36 USD depending on if you choose “rigid” envelope contents for <1 OZ (so ~3 quarters).
My limit for thin letter is up to 100g , 5mm thick, Minimum size: One surface must be at least 9cm x 14cm, Max length: 24cm Max width: 16.5cm delivery is 6/7 days is £2.30 or £1.50 for around a month delivery.
Looks like this would be doable, from my end anyway - and if you don’t want to swap I’ll obviously pay the postage up to about the same price in dollars.

I was thinking as I have around 20 old halfpenny’s if you wanted to swap maybe I have your year of birth if you’d like? along with some other coins too. Just let me know when you’re ready to go

Do you have a “Bicentennial quarter”? It was a standard Washington quarter produced in 1976 with a different reverse image and dated “1776-1976”.
They’re my favorite coin to collect, I have 2 full rolls and part of a 3rd, I could pick a good one if you need it.
Do you want me to see what all beautiful America series I have or just the original state quarters?

As far as trade, do you have anything from 1987? I’m not looking for anything particular, I have very little foreign coins, just like cool things.

Hi Cereal, no I don’t have one of those, that would be nice, ty. The beautiful America ones I think I’ll leave for now, as I need so many it will be too expensive. I’ll carry on grabbing those from work for a while, and when I get like halfway maybe I’ll ask again lol. 1976, that’ll be a tricky one lol, but I’ll have a check through. I have some ideas what I’ll send

Cereal_killer · 2019-10-01T06:06:26.000Z

They made bicentennial quarters and 1/2 dollars. I have a couple of the quarters, only one 1/2 that I know about. I inherited my grandmother’s coin collection and aint had time to go through it.

no luck in the quarter hunt over the last week. Have only got 3: ozark riverways, north carolina, and cumberland gap. You want any hollar at me. Need to get your addy and I’ll mail em.

Cereal_killer · 2019-10-03T05:54:16.000Z

I got a few of the ’76 halfs but I ain’t coming off them, to rare now days (I find the quarters all the time).

GOOSE pm me your info so I can get the ones I have mailed, planning on sending in multiple letters to keep price low.

G0OSE:

The beautiful America ones

FYI it’s “America the Beautiful” (ATB) and I believe each state coin was minted at both Philly and Denver mints, so if you want a “full set”, you need one from each mint :money_mouth_face:.

AEDe · 2019-10-03T10:18:36.000Z

BTW price of full set (D or P) of 50 states quarters’or ’Beautiful America” in mint condition is about 30$.So what is interest to collect them if I could buy all for the price of 1 good flashlight?)

I don’t think there has to be a good reason to do it. I have dozens of flashlights and I barely go out at night. They certainly aren’t making me any money either.

Lol I’ll settle for just one from either mint, I’m not that fanatical about it……yet :person_facepalming:

Wow, forgot all about this thread until I started work again! I’d just like to say I never received any of the packages, but thank you kindly for sending them anyway.

lumenzilla · 2020-03-16T09:39:07.000Z

I used to collect coins, my oldest was dated 1882.
I don’t know where they’re now, went missing when I leave my parents house.

Now I started again with coins from countries I visited. Especially if they’re copper.

richbuff · 2020-03-17T00:08:40.000Z

Yes, my rarest is a NGC XF40 1874 2 1/2 quarter eagle. Total population, including certifiable and non-certifiable is 125. That is the same population as 1893-S Morgan dollars in MS60 and above.

I have studied Morgan population/grade charts for decades. 1892-S has a super steep grade/price curve, and 1885-CC has a super flat grade/price curve.

alpg88 · 2020-03-17T00:19:41.000Z

But it is very easy to buy those

I collect only a few coins, but any shape is fine if it contains gold, I send you here as good as I can

alpg88 · 2020-03-17T01:09:04.000Z
