1792 Half Disme Or First Flowing Hair Half Dime?
Posted April 11, 2007
By Daniel Malone
The 1792 Half Disme was the first coin to be minted by the United States. It was decided that the coin be called a Half Disme (pronounced as "deem") after the decimal system, and is smaller than a dime but slightly larger than a 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime. Nonetheless, most numismatist consider it nothing more than a pattern coin, or 'test pieces', if you will, for the new U.S. Government. However, evidence suggest these coins where much more than patterns, but actual U.S. coinage. READ "The Case For Half Disme As Circulated Coinage

US Mint Offering Presidential Dollars At Face Value
Daniel Malone
June 19, 2008
WASHINGTON - The United States Mint announced today a new program to ship circulating Presidential $1 Coins directly to retail establishments, financial institutions, and members of the public. The $1 Coin Direct Ship Program provides individualized service to the financial community and other interested parties who wish to acquire $1 coins at face value in smaller quantities than currently available to financial institutions.
The Sad Reality Of The U.S. Counterfeit Coin Trade
Fake Trade and Morgan Dollars get's most of the press, but what about fake Indian and Large Cents? Do you know if you have a fake in your collection? The reason I ask, and what makes this sad, is aboutcoins.com reports "And anyway, these guys claim they don't sell singles. They're self-proclaimed "replica wholesalers" and it's not their fault if other people misrepresent their merchandise. They claim they're merely filling a demand in the marketplace."
What this means, is people are still not educated enough, and are still buying this worthless junk, and some of these fake coins might be, or almost have to be, housed along side other U.S. Coins, in someone's collection. I encourage you to click the link at the end of this article, and look at some fake Indian and Large Cents pictures, and pictures of a storehouse with bags of fake coins and artifacts.

Amero Coins, Hot Item On Ebay!
Posted May 18, 2008 by Daniel Malone
Talk of a North American Union for Canada, Mexico, America is not a hoax, and has created a controversy that strikes deep into the heart of Americans and the constitution we stand for.

The coins are of low mintage, and collectors are paying high premiums for this controversial fantasy coinage.
