Everyone reading this thread is now checking their arm chairs and sofas... I may just do that myself...
This post actually inspired me to buy the German 5 Mark coin and a plate block of the 1973 U.S. stamp. They are both in the mail on their way to...
The coin club that I've attended, though not for quite a while now, openly advertised online and at local shows. They have a website, not a...

I was in San Francisco a few months ago and ran across a street vendor on Market Street who on a banner proclaimed "I Slay Coins" (an exclamation...
If you're already 70 and haven't sold your collection then the time to sell before 70 has definitely passed. That leaves one option. Everyone...
