Those kinds of offers are patently ridiculous of course. I made a lowball offer to a guy who listed a PCGS Kennedy at somewhere around 5 times the...
I don't know diddly-squat from the Republic coin market, but I'll take a coin that old and with that much eye-appeal for $41 any day of the week....
Welcome to the club Race! I just started collecting LRBs last month. If you want another resource there's a free, legal download of the...

Of course, everything in wikipedia depends on the contributors to specific articles. But I like it as a starting point, especially for the list of...
