Greatest hobby in the world. My dealer buddy had purchased several rolls of war nickels and sent them in. I love a well struck coin. And for...
I regard my coins much like my old car. Other than my silver and gold, I fully expect that the day I decide to sell, I will likely realize a loss...
LOL!! Cheech, you are a hoot!
It’s a fair purchase. If you get twenty buck worth of joy from seven dripping wet proofs, then yes it is a good buy. It’s not something you will...

I am like you. I want to believe that all folks are good. Over time though I have come to regard these crazy Etsy ads as a cancer that makes it...
