But then there was only a one sentence blurb near the end of the article related to the headline. Apparently several russian buyers are picking these up at large coin shows. Question, is there something we are missing in this series, or is there someone else going on here?   03-29-2008, 09:02 AM   #2 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,589 My Mood: With luck they are buying them from China But to answer your question, I haven't heard of anything. But then ordinary folks like me never hear about it until it's too late. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   03-29-2008, 09:56 AM   #3 (permalink) gxseries Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 1,900 Yes, Russians are now loaded with money. A couple of years ago when I was at a coin fair here in Sydney, all I can hear Russians fiercely bargaining coins and these people pay thousands of dollars in cold hard cash. They aren't only buying Russian coins but as well as German, American, Italian etc. It's shocking the way how they buy coins. __________________ My partial list of coins: Omnicoin My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.   03-31-2008, 12:55 AM   #4 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 3,806 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by gxseries Yes, Russians are now loaded with money. Some are. I, for one, am glad to see it. They have an amazing, sometimes tortuous history, this last 1,000 years... good days are ahead for our Russian friends.   03-30-2008, 09:32 AM   #5 (permalink) cesariojpn Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2007 Posts: 710 My Mood: In b4 Soviet Russia Jokes.   04-06-2008, 02:04 AM   #6 (permalink) SmokeMonkey i brake for peace dollars     Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 286 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by cesariojpn In b4 Soviet Russia Jokes. in soviet russia...coins buy you! __________________ when a man's old enough to read a woman like a book, he's too old to start a library.   03-30-2008, 01:18 PM   #7 (permalink) CoinGal07 Still Collecting   Join Date: May 2007 Location: In my Home Posts: 736 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by coinwarrior while thumbing through my most recent issue of Numismatic News, the headline "Russians by Seated halves, dollars" sprang out at me.
