Thanks for your advice, but I refuse to own a gun, and gun safes are too flimsy to bother with for the most part. As for confiscation, etc.,...
I'm wary of the "storage locker" solution because of the relative lack of security and the need for climate control. Those climate controlled...
Not to my knowledge, and I have looked into the possibility. There is one non-bank facility I know of in the Bay Area that does this, but it's so...
I still say MS-62 or 63 for the same reasons as my previous post.
Good info in your 2 most recent posts. Looks like I am on the right track looking at B-rated safes.
Oh, I can get coverage through my renter's insurance. It's just that Hugh Wood costs so much less and is so much easier to deal with (based on...
Cool. It looks to me like she has, or is developing, some pretty good taste in coins! Did she pick that one out because of the bird, or because...
That's a great pickup for $60! Your daughter is a lucky girl to have you introducing her to this hobby. Have you pointed out to her how the...
I agree with the consensus so far: MS62-63. I might change my mind if I saw the coin in person, but the cheek and all the field chatter are...
They're not insured by the bank. You can get your own insurance to cover it. The main benefit of using a bank box is that it's a far more secure...
Thanks everyone for your input! It seems I left a thing or 2 out of my initial post that I should have mentioned. Executive Summary: My landlord...
China does have "leprosy villages," but I can't find any reference to one called "Wandu" or anything similar.
Fair enough, but I was saying that the specific example (mint state, problem free Barber halves) given was bad. If you can find a whole set of...
So, what's wrong with the Greysheet these days, and what changed? I certainly accept that all price guides are inherently flawed if you're using...
The parameters were "problem free" and "mint state." I still believe that given enough money, I could put together a whole set of nice Barber...
I've gotten to the point where my collection more than justifies a safe to keep it in. I'll also be getting Hugh Wood insurance through the ANA....
I don't think that's a great example. Given enough money, you can buy a whole set on eBay right now. I beg to differ. It sure affects my...
I find that hard to believe. I have ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, Islamic, and Chinese coins in my collection, as well as more modern coins from...
Great coins everyone! IIRC, my oldest coin associated directly with a person is a boring old lifetime Alexander drachm.
Aha! Seeing those pictures reminds me of when I saw the UK coins at Long Beach a couple of years ago. Thanks for jogging my memory. IIRC, I was...
Separate names with a comma.
