My freshman year at Seton Hall will come to an end this week. It has been a great experience and I am looking forward to next year as things open up with Covid hopefully being behind us by then and it becomes a more normal college experience.
I have placed about 1/3 of the 1800 eBay numismatic listings on sale. You will find sale items from 15 to 40% off including all of the numismatic literature listings. You are welcome to make fair offers on all of the other listings.
Later this week, I will be purchasing between 500 and 600 coins from my usual suppliers plus from an estate of a local collector who sadly passed a couple of months ago. He collected quality coins and I will be spending a couple of days with a dealer viewing the coins and making purchases.
I will begin listing these coins, currency, and bullion this Wednesday and should have all of them up by next Sunday (May 23, 2021). In the meantime, I invite you to visit my store to view the present listing and to take advantage of the sale. When you click on the below link, you will see a link to add me to your favorite sellers (save this seller). Please add me so you will receive a notice once I begin adding the new listings so you will be part of the early group viewing the coins.
Thank you to the many past purchasers. I really appreciate it.
I am having a 10 day sale on all numismatic books (very eclectic group of books) and five hundred of my coin, currency, and exonumia listings. Up to 25% off! You are also welcome to make fair offers on any listing you see. I do combine ship to save you money.
International buyers – I do ship internationally using eBay’s Global Shipping Program.
Please use the category links on the left side of the store to more easily navigate the listings. I also welcome your to save me as a seller as I continually purchase collections and add new listings frequently.
I recently purchase approximately 100 non-numismatic collecting books on a number of topics. Those books are also on sale.
There are just two more weeks until my 40% off all numismatic book/literature sale is over. More than 350 titles to choose from covering all numismatic interests.
Here is a link to take you directly to the book section of the store:
I have added several hundred US and World Coin listings over the past week and will be listing another 100 today. Although I am not having a sale on coins, I will consider all fair offers so take a look. Here is a link to the main store page. While you are there, please follow my store so you will be one of the first alerted to new additions.
As I noted in my last post, I purchased more than 3000 transit tokens. It takes a lot of time to list each one and hope to have all the listings completed in the next few weeks. They are selling quickly and I believe there are more than seven hundred now up and unsold. If you collect tokens, please take a look. The direct link to the token’s section is:
With school being closed and a lot less homework, I have been able to add many new listings over the past several days. Still have hundreds more to put up but I invite everyone to visit my store at anytime. You will find US and World Coins, Currency, Books, Tokens, Medals, Errors, and more.

NumisNews – Solomon Islands $40 Bank Note – 7/16/2018 – Numismatics with Kenny
Hello everybody and welcome back to Numismatics with Kenny. Sorry for the long delay with no videos. Since I’ve been taking tests and finals and exams, I haven’t had any time to even think about this YouTube channel. But now that summer has rolled around, I’ll finally be able to produce and upload some new numismatic content!
Today, I want to roll out one of my new ideas for this channel, called NumisNews. This is where I find an interesting news article about numismatics and I share information about that subject.
The first one is about the Solomon Islands $40 Bank Note that was just released (as of July 2018). As most of you don’t know, the Solomon Islands are celebrating their 40th anniversary of gaining independence from Great Britain. To mark this special anniversary, a limited edition $40 bank note is being released in the Solomon Islands. Limited to 100,000 notes, this polymer is fifth in a series of multi-island and multilingual notes, including a $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes.
De La Rue, a British banknote printer, is producing the notes, just like they do for so many more countries. Adorned, with braille for the blind and even a turtle that glows under ultraviolet light, the Solomon Islands $40 banknote is meant to be a collector’s item. But the Central Bank Governor Denton Rarawa has stated that it will be used in commerce for the purchase of everyday goods.
NumisNews – New York Bank Hoard Graded by NGC – 7/19/2018 – Numismatics with Kenny
Hello everybody and welcome back to Numismatics with Kenny. Here’s my second NumisNews video. For those who don’t know what NumisNews is, it’s a new format that I recently introduced. I pick an interesting subject that’s in a major numismatic publication and then make a video discussing and highlighting the key points.
Today’s NumisNews focuses on the New York Bank Hoard that was graded by NGC. NGC, or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, has just finished grading and certifying a 16,000 Morgan Silver Dollar hoard that was found in sealed US Treasury bags. Left untouched for almost 50 years, the large hoard avoided the normal bag marks. 118 of the Morgans graded MS-67!
16 canvas bags were found in a New York bank vault, each containing exactly 1,000 Morgan Dollars. Here is a breakdown of how many bags of each date and mintmark combination were found. 1878-S (one bag), the 1880-S (two bags), the 1881-S (one bag), the 1883-O (one bag), the 1884-O (one bag), the 1885 (one bag), the 1885-O (two bags), the 1886 (one bag), the 1887 (four bags), the 1888 (one bag) and the 1889 (one bag). From 1964, when the bags were left at the bank by the US Treasury, the bags were passed down from owner to owner of the bank until the current owner decided to seek assistance about the coins.
Jeff Garrett, President of Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries and former President of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), was called in to be the expert and was amazed to see such beautiful Morgans. He stated in an article for the NGC Weekly Market Report that “with each bag being opened, our small group was able to witness the reveal of a numismatic time capsule. The overall quality of the coins is amazing.” NGC graded each with a special label, noting each coin is from the New York Bank Hoard. At the time of this video production, NGC has not identified the name of the bank. Jeff Garrett had more to say on this exciting hoard. “The New York Bank hoard of U.S. Treasury silver dollars was one of the most exciting chapters of my numismatic career.
Now that the hoard has been certified and pedigreed by NGC—and protected by NGC’s secure holder—the coins can be enjoyed by countless other collectors.” These coins will be available for the public to purchase from what NGC calls “major retailers” very soon. I credit NGC’s official website and coinnews.net for the information used in this video.
