Crafts & Hobbies #65: Coin Collecting

1) I looked up a 1882 Morgan silver dollar that I own in the Red Book. Looks like I’ll be keeping my day job, since it looks to be worth only $18.00!

2) I looked up dealers in the PNG directory and was surprised to see there are not that many for the state of Texas. I did see four in the Houston area. There were gobs listed under coin dealers in Google Maps for Houston.

3) Overall, this looks like a hobby that could get involved. The grading of coins especially seems to get a little tricky. I could more consider myself to be an occasional collector, maybe hoping to come across something valuable as I go. I know, the odds are like winning the lottery!
