Why do you all put up with this stupidity? The US Mint is obnoxious at best... :arghh: :mad:
Point taken, and that new article was actually quite benign regarding the normal "spend more money" pontification. The other articles I read...
And, I have to wonder -- is the OP upset that someone else might make more money flipping these, or that he might not get one for his actual...
How many of these "boom then bust" products does the Mint have to release before people figure this out?? Whole lotta hype and a whole lotta...
There is one answer to all of those posts... ;) Rule #1: Be rich. Be rich so you can buy all of the "keys". Be rich so you can amass a...

I just need to find me a nice 1850 halfpenny to complete the small date-set of these. :) I added the 1852 and 1854 recently -- here's my set so...
I don't think any of the 60 regular issue medals or the 7 occasional medals make reference to Maine. But, if I find one that does I will let you...
A few new pick-ups from this medal series: Special Issue / Occasional Piece #1 1961, Dag Hammarskjold Memorial [IMG] Special Issue / Occasional...

Lincoln Cents without a mint mark have always been minted in Philly. There has never been a Lincoln Cent minted with a "P" mintmark. The only...
