Haven't bought anything in a while. This is one of my last purchases. Not my photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
You're right and I like ToughCoins' analysis. Never would have thought of that. At first I thought the chatter was natural but there's too much of...
A lot of the comments in this thread have been suggesting that these services are detrimental to the collector because they excuse or relieve him...
Doug, I think your comments would hold true in an ideal world—but we don't live in one. Consider a person buying a new car—especially if it's a...
CAC and the TPGs are analogous to the FDA only in a superficial way (i.e., as "watchdogs") but they are not in any way sanctioned by law (the...
I've done the same, at least twice (slow learner). The most painful was a gorgeous 1865 NGC MS65* RD, carbon-free two cent piece that the eventual...

As many have written over the course of this thread's life, GSC sells mostly problem (cleaned, over-dipped) coins that are made to look much more...
You're right. My point is the slipperiness of it all. Think of how many communist party members went back to their Russian Orthodox roots once...
I agree with you largely and we both know war is complex. I mean I know war is complex hypothetically. I've never started one.
Yet you've just laid out your argument.
The problem with this argument is that atheistic regimes never killed anyone in the name of their atheism. And besides, Hitler was conveniently...
Ideas of morality—that good actions benefit human society and bad actions hinder it—have been around for thousands of years before the Old...
Boy, it takes a scintillating subject like this one to get me to log in these days. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, agreed to by some...
Stunning, Winged! Nice to see you're still contributing to these boards. I'm sure your overall collection is equally impressive these days.
