I'm exactly the same way. Therefore I've never, nor will I ever take a loss on a coin. As far as the OP's question though, even if you take a...
I've been meaning to make one for a display I promised the local museum. Haven't had the time but I was using a black lucite with holes made for...
Unfortunately thats one of the bad things about Ebay listings....most people (including myself sometimes) never read the entire listing. It's...
You can go here: http://www.largecents.net/books/bookindex.html and it'll tell you how to order from the authors what in my opinion are two of...
I'm reading this as people are buying the name brand graded coins for resale purposes only and not to just collect. Am I right? If so, I figure...

If you've been watching the news, you'll see they have gone down.
One thing you'll learn quickly in any collecting market is never sell to a dealer. Why? Because you're paying for his time, showroom/store,...

Tim, you're way ahead of the times when it comes to being totally cashless. Not trying to be mean, but you are the one who constantly, on a daily...
I still never said my coins were specifically covered, as most things inside your house arent. basic reading comprehension here folks.
I never said it covered coins. I said it covers more than the value of the contents within, including the value of my collections. As I'm sure...
