So my grandpa left me these coins:           They're all definitely circulated, probably completely devalued but it'd still be awesome if you could tell me what I've got. Except please don't say anything good about the 1885  because I actually lost it on the bus the day he gave them to me  Also sorry for the poor image quality, these are photos I took some time ago and I had to use my phone.

Great Horny Toads! posted:Boring Canadian coins? What about the glow-in-the-dark DINOSAUR quarters? Those are cool as a moustache. Also, the 1958 silver dollar has an awesome totem pole on the front. I got one of those dino quarters and it's awesome. It's the coin that inspired me to start a science/space themed coin collection! Thanks for the info Ron Don Volante! Can I ask though, I'm trying to understand something. I've seen rolls of coins, pennies and such in collectors' shops and I can't figure out how they're collectable. I mean, they're not necessarily that old, they're just uncirculated. Is that fact alone enough to justify them going for like 5x their face value? Coin grading and collecting is a bizarre world but I've always found it very interesting and some coins are just gorgeous to look at.

dino. posted:TELL ME ABOUT DINO COINS. Oh they're 2 25c coins issued by the Canadian Mint, one in 2012 and one to be issued in 2013 as part of the Prehistoric Creatures series. The 2012 coin was minted in 25,000 pieces and featured a Pachyrhinosaurus Lakustai while the 2013 one features a Quetzalcoatlus and will be issued in 30,000 pieces. Oh, did I mention their skeletons glow in the dark? I didn't? Well they loving do! Even though their metal is pretty cheap (it's a nickel-copper alloy) they sell on ebay for 2-3 times their mint price (29.95CAD).

So uhh, the way this thread has evolved, is this the right place to show off our collections? Even if they consist of not-old, not-American coins? Thought I'd ask before I post a massive image-heavy post!

Super Aggro Crag posted:Unless someone wants to make a thread in the hobby section or whatever, I've been posting my collection here. Yeaaah it's probably best to make a numismatics thread in DIY & Hobbies. I'll see if I can get around to it later, hopefully lots of folks here won't mind me quoting them for the OP.

Super Aggro Crag posted:Can you make it for both numismatics and bullion? I have more of the latter. Yeah, absolutely. The way things are going I'll probably put it together this weekend, work's been kind of hectic. If you'd like to write a few words and PM me for the OP it'd be appreciated since I'm relatively new to numismatics and I don't trust myself to write something too in-depth!

Ok, so I made a thread about all this in the DIY & Hobbies section! The OP is a little  but I did what I could. Any additions to it would be appreciated and I'll try and update it as much as I can. Hope to see you all there!
