Also, I have a 1986 US Lady Liberty Silver Dollar. Where should that be listed?

Thanks,

Good to hear from you, I completely get the life happens thing, hope you and the family are doing well. Guessing your kids aren't so little anymore :)

Best of Luck

Yep ghost town is a fair description. I stopped maintaining the site several years ago but keep it up and running for what few folks use it as a resource. Since I make no money on the site it was a labor of love but as collector interest diminished as well as site traffic it started to become a chore.

Doing the albums in digital format allows me to customize the presentation. It also allows me to add to or update at any time. Plus I don't have to remove coins from a slab to "place" in the album. I can add anyone's coin photos to the template to create their own custom album. An idea I had if I ever wanted to market the digital albums. Imagine, you can carry your coin album/collection on you phone.

Thanks for adding the link to the site. If I can contribute in any way in the future just let me know.

I did find out the restriction for adding a link was not due to security settings by this site but the host. Apparently to reduce spam a global restriction was placed on all wikidot sites and I cannot override. Not too thrilled with this as I as a site admin should have some ability to turn this feature on or off.

I'll give it to you this way: digitalcoinalbumsDOTcom

Good to hear from you. We already had the Philippines list under the U.S. Coin Collection as at that time they were part of the U.S. as a commonwealth. I did just check the page link and it no longer works and not sure why. I still have your original list and will just add it in.

Wow you have been one incredibly busy collector:). Would love to see the World 50 Centavo collection and I'm sure that silver bullion collection must be one dang good looking set too.

I would absolutely add your link to the site! You should be able to just cut and past the address in the post here and not sure what happened.

Ken

So far I have completed United States, Cuba, Mexico, European Union, Ireland, South Korea, and Philippines. Plus a few other specialized themes.
Mexico Bronze 20 Centavos, World 50 Centavos and Silver Bullion.

If you have time, I would like to invite you to check out my website: (I can't add link to this email for some reason)

I have created digital (virtual) albums for my collections. Links are on the site to view the albums. You have my permission to add it the website link to your resource page if you think others might enjoy it also. I also have the albums in PDF form if you would like to add them to the site in that format.

Thanks and have a great day.

Of course nothing is engraved in stone so it is still up to your taste

Great thing about type sets there are no rules, collect what you want and display how you want. There is no wrong way but I will help where I can if you have questions.

Possibly why you are not looking for, have you considered using Danscos coin stock album (#7000)? BTW, love the passion for the hobby :)

I have done three different US type sets a 7070 and the Whitman 20th Century album for each of my boys. I was thinking of doing one for myself to in MS grade as its not an overly expensive set and I have been thinking of also doing the Whitman 20th and 21st century album too that is even easier to do as they took out all the varieties like the t1 standing liberty quarter and t1 buffalo. I have also thought about doing the littleton US type album and looking into other albums.

But my new project is I decided to start a crowns of the world type set. That's how I found this website as I was doing research for the different crowns of the world. I am going to mix it with a modern bullion of the world theme. So say you have a 1890's jubilee UK crown but you also have a UK Brittania coin or Canadian Maple Leaf and a Canadian Dollar or a Morgan dollar and a Silver Eagle. Mixing the modern with the ancient.

I think the Dansco crowns of the world album will be the album I go with but what a pain of an album. It has 5 pages a 36mm, 38mm, 39mm, 40mm and 42mm page. The 36mm seems almost worthless as the Canadian dollar is the only 36mm I could find, I might ditch it for a 37mm page an then I can at least put in the Peruvian Sol and the Austrian Philharmonic on the page. Has anyone done this? Problem is the dimensions on a lot of the coins for example the New Zealand Crown is 38.61mm so would you try and cram that in the 38mm page or have it loosely sit in the 39mm page. Same say with the Silver Eagle thats 40.66mm do you try and fit it in the 40mm page or do you buy a 41mm page. Anyway know of way to add a little filler so a coin wouldn't slide if you went up to the bigger page.

For example. you can visit the Royal Canadian Mints site and copy their entire table into a text or spreadsheet then import that into a database for SQL. http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn/10-cents-5300008#.U2TNE1fqWvg

Best of Luck,

Thanks a lot

Without seeing the coin there may be another possibility. Is it the exact same coin design, legend, size, and weight? If not it is possible that it was a trial piece that was used during the selection process by the U.S. Mint.

I have a FAO medallion (FAO 1945-1965, 20th anniversary gold medal, fiat panis).
From my research i only saw the bronze and silver one. already realized that this is very rare medallion, as I did not find any on the internet .

I would like to know the evaluation of this medallion. can you help me?

This is the first time one of our pics were used for a national magazine that was not related to the hobby and is a recognition of how coin artistic images can go beyond our loved hobby. I'd also like to thank the folks at National Geographic for all their support and use of our image. So without further ado here is the coin featured in the article.

To provide a short summary, we decided to use dime mintages as a baseline and compare it to the performance of the Dow. The general idea was that if the economy was starting to get depressed the order for coinage would decrease and if times were good then demand for coinage would increase. Sure enough back in 2009 we saw a possible trend. But, identifying a trend after a major stock market crash is in itself not that impressive. Anyone looking in hindsight can make oddball connections so I am revisiting the theory to see how it has panned out over the last few years (good years) to see how the trend is going.

As annual mintages increased from 2010 to 2012 there were also annual increases in the Dow. It appears the trending works in up years as well as down years. Yet the real proof is still yet to be had as we still need to predict a significant stock market fall or even a rise. So where are we for 2013? As of June 2013 the U.S. mint has produced 1.12 billion coins and is at a pace to handily beat the 2012 figure of 1.6 billion coins.

If the trend theory holds up then the Dow should close out the year up versus the end of 2012. Now we have our first forecast and considering there are some financial experts claiming the market is overvalued and due for major correction it will be even more interesting to see how this forecast works out. If it does work out it still does not prove out the trend between the two. Beyond forecasting an up year it will also need to forecast a down year. This is definitely getting interesting :))

Please note that this all theory and speculation and should not be used for making financial decisions.

What you have is not a Canadian Dime. It is a 3 Pence coin from Great Britain (ref KM#797.1) and it was minted from 1902 to 1904. For the year 1902 there were a total of 8,287,000 coins minted which was the highest of the series and most common. The silver content is .0420 ounces.

If there is no Mint Mark on the back below the slave cabin does that mean that the coin is a fake? I got it an a local auction.

How can I send photos?

Thank you for your help.
