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.

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.

Rexlion:

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

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

Just regular ones lol. Thank you kindly for your offer, but it’s just not worth it - both the last packages never arrived so obviously were stolen. It’s not that expensive to buy on ebay, and I have already re-started a new season at work and have found 2 new ones in 2 days lol.
