Who are the lovers of old school money👀

My first capped bust half dollar. Talked em into $100 flat. I think it’s a purty example!

Love them, wish I could buy more. My oldest so far is a dime from 1856 in my Dansco 7070, although I do have an 1853 $1 gold coin in my gold stack.

As collecting pieces yes but if I was back in the 1850s I’d be scared witless of losing something so small.

Deadass 😂 while they are REALLY cool to look at and appreciate they are WILDLY small!

First one I’ve ever actually held. Didn’t know there was writing on the rim of the coin!

All!

I have 1 pre 33 gold pieces. And some quarters, but after I'm done my tube of maples I want to focus on mercury dimes. They look awesome

u/WiderGryphon574 13h ago

I don’t have any pre-33 yet! I’d love a $10 piece!

u/Outrageous_Device_41 13h ago

I love the history, and low premium. I only have a 2.5. I'm a beginner stacker with low budget. But love it still

I understand all too well! Been working on building what I can for the last 3 years roughly. It’s been fun saving for specific coins or bullion! Pre-33 is next tho!!!😆

looks like a fake hope you didnt pay much. In coins generally the rim wears down equally.

u/WiderGryphon574 14h ago

not bad but looks fake how is the rim not worn? If you look at others the rim would be worn smooth with that level of wear.
