What movie am I thinking of?

Okay, I’ll describe it as best I can.

It was about a highschool kid who was sort of a dork, and had 2 friends: a guy and a girl. The kid collects rare coins I think, and then one day he finds a really lucky one and makes a wish that his sister would be gone or something.
Then the wish comes true and his whole life is different and his friends are all different and he became popular.
I also remember it being a really terribly movie.
Any ideas?

What is considered an old quarter nowadays? If I see a bicentennial one, do I save it?

Which years are rare or is there a magical # like older then 20 or 30 years? I am obviously a novice at coin collecting. Thanks for your help in advance!
M R or anyone else- What is the year of the coin with the minting error? Is it a quarter, how do I know if it is wrong?
Links to a website with good info will bring extra kudos. Thanks in advance!

I have spotted a rare coin on a well known on line auction site that I AM going to buy but I need to know?

Is it best for me to type my bid with 15 seconds to the end of the auction and risk something going wrong with my computer etc etc. Or keying in my massive high bid with a week to go and just pay what I have to pay.. I collect old british coins and I have been looking for this coin for over a year now. I WILL be the highest bidder but I need to know when is it best to key in my stupidly high bid. A) With a week to go and just pay what I have to pay OR B) Wait till the last second and risk something going wrong (my computer freezing or going offline etc etc) Thank you for your answers…Cheers.

Rare Coin Investing?

I saw a book on Amazon.com about investing in rare coins for an early retirement. I won’t mention the title, because I think it’s against this site’s Community Guidelines for me to ask whether or not you would recommend a product by name.

But basically the book claims to teach you how, by investing about $210 a month in rare coins, you could make enough to retire in about a dozen years. It’s not an easy task, because apparently it takes a lot of research to find a coin that will give you a good return on your investment.

The book was published in 1998. I used AIER.org’s Cost-of-Living Calculator to figure out that $210 in 1998 is worth about $265 today.

Well, I don’t know much about rare coin collecting and investing. Would you be able to tell me if rare coin investing could really enable you to retire in about a dozen years?

Many thanks,
C.L.
