Ahhh, coin collecting!
I have a set of  steel pennies that are in mint condition. They were givin to me buy a friend and are what started me collecting. I have the flying eagle cent also...got it for a pretty good deal...I think aroun $7 and it's in pretty good condition. I have many buffulo nickles. And I also have the 2 cent peice from 1865! Although it's in worse condition then yours.

Hmmmm....Lets take a look at what else I have...I have two nicles from 1883.  On the back of one, it says ''cents'' and on the back of the other, it does not say ''cents''. Thats one of my favorites. I have a few cool dimes...one from 1914 and a few from the 30's and 40's. I have something pretty odd...a pennie from 1974 that apperes to be gold. I have some old quarters...one from 1898 that I like quite a bit. And then I have some old half dollars and dollars. I agree the morgan dollar is something special. I have 3 of them and they're all in pretty good condition.

Thanks for posting, I really enjoy old coins but latey I havn't been buying much. But you've sparked my interest again...may have to take a trip to the local coin shop!

Cool. I have a Morgan, too- not really mint  :D, but I love to just look at it sometimes, and feel its weight. Silver!! I found this on top of the mirror frame of a 100-yr-old bar that a friend and I removed from a funky dive down the street to install  here in the loft where I live. There were tons of old coins all over the place in there; I said "keep the rest, just let me have this one".  I'm no expert or collector, but I really like this one too. Think I read somewhere that in mint condition, these are worth about $6 now...

I scanned it on my flatbed... the background is the 48-star flag that my grampa had with him when he trudged through France with an artillery unit in 1918-  another prized possession.

I haven't had enough money to buy any lately because of school and stuff but I hope to get back into it in the near future.
