I'm just fighting fire with fire, as condescension and omniscience seem to be your forte. The point of my post was that if a shop that advertises...
Got these two in the mail today as part of a trade with a member of another coin forum board. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm also jealous of the mighty deep pockets required to acquire said coins ;) LOL
I'm not interested in playing the quasi-investment metals game. I agree with the original poster, the mad rush of non-collectors to sell off...
OMG, that is Crazy! I hope they didn't melt any of the 1934 Australian Melbourne Florins!!!??? I have been looking for a nice one of those for...
