By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor Big Mac tokens, also known as MacCoins, were the toast of the town over the weekend, as McDonald's celebrates the 50th anniversary of its iconic Big Mac hamburger with a set of five brass tokens, each token representing a decade of the double-stack burger's existence with designs symbolizing the 1960s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s. In what seemed the equivalent of getting an adult version of a Happy Meal, I gleefully ordered a Big Mac, fries, and Coke and received my brass token as a prize. In fact, I ordered a few more Big Macs just [...]

Collecting Roosevelt Dimes: Making A Case For A Marvelous Modern Series

By |2018-08-02T22:15:19+00:00August 2nd, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Collecting Roosevelt Dimes: Making A Case For A Marvelous Modern Series

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor Roosevelt dimes are among the most underrated of all modern United States coins. Many collectors and dealers alike say the Roosevelt dime series, which began in 1946 and continues to this day, lacks enough “real rarities” to propagate an enthusiastic collector base. This perception may be why relatively few hobbyists pursue the series with gusto. But what many people are perhaps forgetting is the Roosevelt dime series boasts several lower-mintage issues and some fascinating varieties, including one of the most expensive copper-nickel clad coins around (more on that in a moment). Still doubt Roosevelt dimes are [...]

Aftermarket Mint Set Envelopes: Good or Bad for Uncirculated Set Collectors?

By |2018-07-13T22:18:58+00:00July 13th, 2018|Coin Shop Blog|Comments Off on Aftermarket Mint Set Envelopes: Good or Bad for Uncirculated Set Collectors?

By Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez, Editor   I love collecting mint sets. Like many other hobbyists, I built a complete run of uncirculated sets ranging from 1959 through the present. In building this large collection of uncirculated sets, I've gained some knowledge on the variety of mint set packaging formats over the years. Maybe my interests in collecting mint sets with their original packaging stem somewhat from one of my other pastimes: my love of vintage theme park maps and brochures – ephemera as we paper-loving hobbyists call such paper collectibles.   Pre-2007 uncirculated mint sets were originally packaged in paper envelopes, [...]

Ponzi Economy Will Lead To Next Crisis

Hallmark of an Economic Ponzi Scheme by John Hussman of Hussman Funds Consider two economic systems. In one, consumers work for employers to produce products and services. The employees are paid wages and salaries, and business owners earn profits. They use much of that income to purchase the goods and services produced by the economy. They save the remainder. A certain portion of the output represents “investment” goods, which are not consumed, and the portion of income not used for consumption – what we call “saving” – is used to directly or indirectly purchase those investment goods. There may be [...]
