Whew... nothing in my area this week... that means I'll have plenty of money left for food...
I did not buy one. I considered it some months ago when they announced the series, but as time went on my interest waned and waned down into a...
Yes, that is classic ransom ware. The internet can be an agonizingly dangerous place these days. A few proactive things to do for others who have...
I sympathize. I can't focus for more than a week or so. All it takes is a trip to another coin show to send me spiraling off on some thing that...
I completely missed the grading prophecy, but nice coin in any case! My guess as I went through the thread was AU something, but that's pretty...
In essence: if abstract future people will want to buy them, then an abstract future market will exist. The future can be SO annoying... :wacky:
This forum has made me even MORE leery of buying anything of value raw on Ebay. I happily buy VERY low value coins, the kind that even if they...

I plan to buy a mega red every 5 years or so (unless something else compels me to buy one). They take up immense space on bookshelves and they're...

Hmmm... I don't loathe them, but I don't actively seek them out, either. I inherited a small pile of them so maybe that sated my interest. I do...
I really appreciate the responses so far. It's absolutely great having access to such an active forum. The other factor that makes me suspicious...
In an attempt to get a different perspective on collecting, I decided to try collecting a series rather than a random sampling of types. Since...
Under the vast majority of circumstances, no. I avoid them. But there could always be that one coin that I'd like to have but has always been out...
Oop... someone already posted the VAMWORLD link, but if you care about VAMS, this is apparently the site to occupy... http://www.vamworld.com/
This story is painful and makes my innards twitch in agony, but yes, you learned a lesson the hard way. Owch. But at least you didn't keep it to...
