I know. My 'question' was rhetorical. I remain very skeptical about the usefulness or even purpose of the GSR. I would put more stock in a...
What's the point of this chart? Really. Except to be a tail wagging the dog.
Proofs are also fun to find. When I CRH'd nickels I found about 3/4 of a roll of proof Jeffs over about 2 years.
So, what did you do? With silver at $18.30 right now, did you sell all at $17 or only some and still have some for today?
I was pondering the same recently regarding the great prevalence of WW2 era coins from Australia, Philippines and England in the USA now. I bet...
I don't necessarily have someone right now that would actively manage the collection as a coin collector, but if I died tomorrow (I'm 41) I...
That looks to be on the slab not the coin.
I with MS63. Weak date (die deterioration) and several smallish hits throughout. The mint luster is good though, so I could understand MS64....

I'll think about holding them. As I have developed an eye for grabbing the 500 & 100 yens whenever possible for bargain bin prices. I do the...
Actually a couple still have some mint luster on them, which is nice. That's why I put quotes around junk. Perhaps I should have said bargain bin.
And twenty lashes....
I'd be happy to find an 'easy' path to even getting half current exchange rate, as it would double my cost (aka 100% profit). Let the...
Thanks for the info guys. If I can't find a currency exchange in the USA to exchange these, there is this company (and probably others like it)...
