"Missing out" on potential gains is one of the primary drivers of excessive risk taking and directly contributed to by moral hazard. Sure, it is...
This is my least favorite coin from all US coinage (and I don't collect any US any more). I would also rate it at or near the bottom of the...
#1, #3 and #4 above, especially #1 and #3. Most collectors collect coins that are too common where it doesn't make any sense to buy a problem...
