>I want more numismatics
Everything in your stack is technically numismatic but most of it is borderline exonumia (Struck by the US mint but not for circulation) or straight exonumia (bullion items struck by private mints and not for circulation).

The actual numismatic items (Peace dollars, JFK's, Franklins, walkers, V nickels, washington quarters) are mostly junk. Morgans are a mix, since most of them never circulated, and are usually treated as junk as well in low grades.

In the US most foreign coins are also treated as junk because numismatists here tend to concentrate on US coins struck for circulation. US commems are interesting, they straddle the line between numismatic and exonumia and most coin collectors have a few. But the market for US commem collectors is extremely small compared to regular issues for circulation.

If you want some pure numismatic value in US coins I'd get some draped or capped bust, seated, or barber stuff in there. Preferably slabbed or purchased from a LCS that guarantees authenticity unless you have some expertise in detecting fakes. Another fun option is the type set, trying to get one good example of every type of US coin made. Both of these types of collection can get really expensive fast, but the value is primarily numismatic.

If you're just looking to stack more of what you've got, that's easy enough. You already know how to do that. But what you've got has very limited numismatic value. Most of it will probably sell for scrap prices.
Cool pistol, is that a birthday candle or a firecracker there?

meh. I'm not a jew, I don't know any jews, and I don't much care about jews one way or the other. They literally never cross my mind unless I'm reading here.

But you lot do get your panties in a twist over jews, so that's pretty fun to watch. It's simply the easiest button to push here. Big red sign hanging on it that says "DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON!"
I have to push the button. It's just sitting there waiting for someone to push it.

Regarding the holocaust, I'm old enough and raised in the right religion to have met some of the people that helped shovel jews off trains and into furnaces, so I don't really doubt it happened at all. But I also don't really care if people doubt it. None of my business. I would think you guys of all people would be more interested in the mechanics of it, apparently it was pretty horrifying. I find it fascinating, in a morbid sort of way.
