12:00:14, and I wish nobody would buy their $1 worth of coins for $9, and that they would rot in the vault.
Hi, Dio. Yeah, I'm a nerd...I admit it.
The service from the Mint is extremely poor -- has been for some time now. Problem is, they're a monopoly, and they provide the minimum level of...
I would never do this, unless it was a dealer I trusted implicitly. You never know when the dealer is going to set the "spot" price. Even if...
I have a shirt that says "Coin Nerd" -- I'll try to remember to take pics and post them.

I found it on eBay. It had what I considered to be a good starting price, and no bids down to the last few seconds. I knew I couldn't be the only...

I found the following: <<Disclaimer! I don't recall ever being in Omaha, Nebraska, and I have certainly never been in any coin shops there. I...
It's the reverse of 1940. According to Nagengast's book, about 3/4 of this date are reverse of 1940, and the remaining quarter are the reverse...
I'd pay a nickel for that anyday, and I don't even go out of my way to collect foreign coins. Nice work.
