Yo, Bob, can you be more specific? Condition? Any particular mint? or are all those Denver coins?

Bob,

Have you tried CoinCollector.org?

They have message boards there, and I'm sure you'd get a better response than posting here.

You're welcome 53,

(no offense) but you're a strange one - can't figure out if you're genuine or not.

But I guess that's my problem.

Peace to you and Glenda

bob, those coins are very common and I think you could find them right in your change if you keep looking. Remember the U.S. stopped using silver in it's 25 cent pieces in 1964 for coins going into circulation.

The two coins you mention, you should be able to buy them in uncirculated condition for very little money.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM IN POCKET CHANGE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND I KNOW THAT I COULD BUY THEM AT A COIN DEALER, BUT I FIND IT VERY UNUSUAL THAT THESE 2 COINS ARE SO HARD TO FIND IN EVERYDAY POCKET MONEY. I ALSO HAVE ABOUT 6 OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING ALSO, AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THEM EITHER, BUT THANKS FOR YOUR POST. BOB

It is more fun to collect that way, isn't it? No fun at all to just go buy them. I also noticed going through jars of coins, that some years are very common, 1964 nickels, for example. I would guess that is because of mint runs. Some years fewer new coins were needed so fewer were minted.

Another interesting thing I discovered is that apparently the metal alloy changes from year to year. Some years hold up very well for a long time, others wear out within a few years. The new State Quarters are very soft and don't even feel like quarters to me.

The coin collectors' site was interesting, but it seems to be devoted strictly to US denominations. Would anybody know of a similar site for European (especially Irish and UK) coinage?

thanks,

Jenny,

Not sure which parts of that site interested you, so difficult to say.

A couple of sites that might interest you can be found here and here

If you want to discuss things with others, the usenet group uk.rec.collecting.coins may be of help.

Best of all, use a search engine like google

You'll be able to find the best sites for yourself that way.
