:drool: Gorgeous circulation cameo there. Edit: Being a Civil War coin, I would have expected a bit higher price. There are Franklin halves that...
Yep... WAY TOO MANY beautiful coins to pick just one. That reverse is gorgeous. So far and away better than anything modern.
See my avatar... I like both the obverse and reverse of that coin. There are way too many to choose from IMO. But this is one of my favorites. It...
I hope whatever they do, they keep the cotton-paper, and keep the bills all the same size. I have spent time overseas, and the 'paper' just...
I appreciate all the tips and pointers. I think I am going to have to hold off on this set for a while. I have several modern sets underway at...
That's funny :D
Over on the 'other' coin board this is a very polarizing subject. Half the folks believe strongly that paper money should be modernized, dollar...
I was a 'newbie' at a very young age, so I did PLENTY wrong, but I don't dwell on it as an adult. My biggest regret, not foolishness, but...

Spell-check aside, ;) I agree with Luke. History calls it "confiscation" because it was a forced transaction. Saying the government bought out...
That one looks like an older fake. 'Modern' fakes look much better IMO. I always tend to look the the date font. Most of the time, the font,...
That is a nice one. May not be 'brilliant', but it has personality and a pretty nice circulation cameo.
Do you often make posts that someone else shouldn't have bothered making a post? With a post count of 12,000+ seems likely. Did you ever think...
The US government can do anything, and I mean anything, it so pleases. There is a little line in the Constitution that says the Feds can do...
Either gold is in a bubble, or it is the US dollar itself. Either way, I predict the bubble, unseen as of this moment, WILL pop. That is my...
Bullion is in a bubble IMO.
That may be the case with this site IN GENERAL, however, this specific forum is on "investing", not "collecting", so the emphasis will be totally...
Could be the beginning of a return to 1933. Gold confiscation and private ownership banned. This government would rather do that than have...
Separate names with a comma.
