A new want list

Coins-United States | CoinLady

Have you updated your want list lately? Good idea. There are always a few coins on that list that are dream coins. Mercury dime collectors want the 1916-D. Lincoln cent specialists want the 1909-S VDB. Type collectors want the small eagle coins. Some want list may never be filled.

Dig a little deeper

Coins-United States | CoinLady

During my weekly bookstore day, I checked out the section where the coin books are. Not much change in inventory. A bunch of old World coin guides, some Red Books, and a few that did not appeal to me.

Finally bought it!

Coins-United States | CoinLady

Finally, after all these years...I bought a copy of Dave Bowers' wonderful reference book, "A California Gold Rush History." A solid reference and a keeper if ever there was one. An important part of American history is documented in this volume. Collectors, historians, and gold fans would love this book. I don't know why I didn't get this book sooner.

I found it at the library

Coins-United States | CoinLady

I paid a visit to my local library in search of books for research. I am beginning work on a new novel, science fiction, a departure from my usual. I know SF fans are a great audience, also a tough audience. The science in the written work has to be accurate.

Great find...not a coin

Coins-United States | CoinLady

I keep checking every bit of change that comes my way, in the hopes of finding something special. Maybe not a 1916-D Mercury dime, or any Mercury dime. Not a 1909-S VDB cent. But something unusual, like a War nickel or a scarce variety, maybe even a double die cent.
