Hello, though I would post some of my collection.
If you have any coins you would like to share please feel free to post them in the replies.

Here is my collection. Not all, I do not have enough space on my computer for that many photos:laughing7:.

My Morgan Dollars

My American Silver Eagles (I got two 1996 Silver Eagles, the big key date of the series, for only slightly over spot, like all silver eagles he has)

My Large Cents: (two foreign coins, the 1723 Hibernia I found and a 1792 French Copper (I put in there as a hole filler for a 1792 US Pattern piece:laughing7:, it looks slightly like it! but it is only worth 25 cents)

I never took the time for everything, just some coins, I have two binders full of coins, two bins for sets and one big bin for 1700's and 1800's world coins.
IMG_20150218_142603.jpg
One of around 500 comparable antique world coins I got for 25 cents at my coin shop
100 Canada Large cents
Around 200 Queen Victoria coppers
200 other antique coins from various nations
around 50 Chinese cash coins, some from the medieval times others from the past 300 years.

Collected coins from age 9 to age 50. The first X got them in the divorce....

Now I just wish I had them back. New man in her life sold them all to support his explosive spending. House went into foreclosure, and they divorced.

Fat lot of good MY coin collection did them :)

I'm working on Indian Head Cents.
Question; Slabbed Morgan's in the MS-60 to 64 range, can they be liquidated for a profit. Most dealers seem to offer 1/2 of Grey Sheet?
You have an nice collection.
Peace ✌

Id post pics of mine, but it would be way to exhaustive. Love this hobby! been collecting for 20 years and my dad and I recently acquired my grandfathers 40year collection. Im scared to know what it would total at in value.
I specifically focus on Canadian and Mexican currency with side line attention given to US coins (just feel like everyone collects those)

They can but it depends, I can get an MS-64 Morgan below Ebay value at my shop, $60, if you sell it on Ebay you could probably get $75.

Here is my PCGS MS-64 Close-up

I only started collecting coins in 2012, I think the opposite happened for me. I collected coins and started metal detecting so I could find more coins for my collection, later on I ended up relic hunting and coinshooting equally. Every copper U.S. coin before 1909 will go in my book, and silver coin will go in the book too. Believe it or not right now the highlight of my collection is the 1803 Large cent in what looks to be AU Details that I dug, If it were not corroded it would be worth $3500!
I joined TreasureNet as a Coin Roll Hunter before I had a metal detector, now I metal detect more than I roll hunt.

That is a Sweet collection! Must be cool just to set and look through what you have collected over the years. My coin collecting just involved watching my pocket change for Silver and Wheaties until I started detecting. In 4 years I have accumulated a nice little collection, nothing extravagant but a cool little assortment of finds.......ie; LCs, Indians, Canadian LCs, two 2 centers, 178 Silvers, Civil War store cards, shields, Vs, and war nickels also a Counterfeit Seated Quarter and I have several nice older wheaties including a 1909s.
The first Coins I "Bought" was at the end of my first year detecting, I cashed in my "Found" clad and bought Silver with it. This has become my tradition at the end of each season, I turn found change into SILVER. I keep all of my detected coins in slips in 3 ring binders with "Purchased" Silver identified in the back of the pages and separate the binders year by year. Pretty cool then to look back at individual binders and reminisce over my finds year to year.

My parents were both avid collectors and started a collection for me when I was born in 1956. I have also inherited both of their collections since then so it would take way too much effort to post it all. Just as an example though I have every proof set from 1955-2014, a complete US type set, Nearly complete Morgan set other than the 3 or 4 most expensive ones, probably 20+ Dansco albums with every denomination going back to the middle 1800s with the usual holes where the ultra expensive coins belong that I'll never own. Here's a teaser.

Awesome type set, I think you beat me!! I'm thinking of getting some nice type coins soon. Proof Cameo Seated Half Dollar is what I am looking at buying. How long have you been collecting?

Fat lot of good MY coin collection did them :)

Thus the value of a Friendly Divorce... My ex took the house, I took the cash. She took the animals, I took my Olympic stuff and garage sale stuff. I took my clothing and half of the cookware. She took everything else. She may have ended up with about $20,000 more than I did, but that's what we would have paid lawyers to fight it out, so I am happy. Kids split time 50/50. It took us about an hour to decide everything... now its just paperwork.
