I would guess he was referring to the fact that governments are completely bankrupt from the top down and that the box could easily be confiscated...
Wow!...
Sorry man. No offense but it's you're responsibility to at least look up/learn the common ones around here. We all had to do it. There's no...
$200 to $250 would have been my limit if I would have wanted it. You just cant compete with most serious toning collectors. They go nuts for...
Like others, the history and the art. Both are equally interesting to me. Stuff from the old west is intriguing. 1800s coin designs are...

Hey I hear you. I've sent a couple coins back because of deceptive photography. Whether it was purposely done or not, the coins were not...
Dont most B&M stores have an ebay store too? They should be willing to sell coins for less than ebay prices. Since ebay and paypal take a 12%...
