 On September 22nd the US Mint unveiled it's new penny designs. It's a fun idea, and it will be a welcome change from the same old boring penny. Oh wait, it's still the same old boring penny. I like the idea of changing designs, and sparking more interest in coin collecting, but the penny? The quarter program is great, the nickel redesign is very cool, the sacagewea dollars never took off, nor did the presidential dollars. My question is, why redesign the penny?

 Do you have any collectible coins lying around at home that you want to cash in?
I am a personal collector, as you can see from my posts, and I am looking to expand my collection. I've tried eBay, I've tried Craigslist, and I thought I would try just asking.

with details about any coins that you want to sell, or any that you want help with figuring out the value.
I have cash ready for offers. I am interested in estates as well as individual coins.

I'll post the pictures out here as soon as I take them, but I picked up two more dollars. These are non errors, but are slabbed NGC PR70 coins. So they should be halfway decent in value since the population should remain fairly low. At least that's my theory. Hopefully it holds true. Obviously the price that I paid for them is nowhere near the PCGS price guide values, but it sounds good telling my friends that I paid 50 bucks for a coin that the guide rates at 300.
So here's what I got.
2007-S Madison presidential dollar PR70 NGC
2008-S Martin Van Buren presidential dollar PR70 NGC
They look nice, and will go right into the long term folders.

I just can't seem to win. I missed the first meeting since I was out all week travelling for work. I missed the meeting on May 14th because I've been dealing with an emergency at work for the past 4 weeks.
Now, looking forward, maybe I can get to a meeting. Well, about that. My wife is due on the 23rd of June with our second son, and the meeting is on the 16th. Hmmm.. Is it worth sleeping on the couch?

I haven't actually received them yet, but I "won" two presidential dollars on eBay. Regardless of the fact that I "won" them, I feel that I got a pretty good deal.
Since I decided to go with the Presidential dollars set, I wanted to be a bit more specific on what exactly I was looking for. I took a look at the PCGS sets, and decided to start small with the proof set. The funny part is that even with only 8 different coins released over 2 years, there are still 16 different proof strikes that you can get. Compare that with the 55 different non proof variations, and I think that the proofs are where I'll stay.
