Nice addition Donna. I collect these as well, loving the ancient lighthouse. The reverse type of yours I would consider the most common due to AP...
Yeah, I was seeing the same. I GUESS it might matter. Sorry, but collectors lose me when they stray from the object that we collect. Bags of...
Yeah, good and bad I suppose. Makes me happy I bought all of the stuff I did over the last 20 years, but sure hurts my prospects of buying more,...
Ah, come on. If that were true, then that would mean the politicians can't simply print money out of thin air and give to whom they choose without...
Yeah, but its even worst when you consider what else that money could have purchased. Invested in the Dow Jones industrial stocks, (more if you...
Yeah, sorry but I just cannot comprehend people who walk around with zero cash on them. Numerous times I have walked into a business and a huge...

Yeah, I have been burned so much by exorbitant shipping I simply do not bid on most auctions. I try to bunch up and choose one auction out of many...
