That's an unusually terrible graphic. Why did they mirror it around the X-axis? Why did they leave off any scale levels? And what "values" are...
I thought for a moment you'd found one with a W mint... ;)
Oh, it's meaningful, exactly as meaningful as "pork bellies per barrel of oil". It's the ratio of the price of two commodities, no more, no less.
Probably not worth it, right?
I'm sure the average dealer would have third-party insurance through Hugh Wood or a similar organization. For the rest of us, there's a clear...
Oh, man, bad flashback. The gold-silver ratio (which I never paid much attention to until a certain ex-CoinTalker took up a full-time volunteer...
My first reaction to that last shot: "why is Meow putting 1911 cents into a CoinStar?" I guess it's a mark of my age that I often try to...
I'm happy to see palladium continuing its re-entry trajectory, although I'll be happier still once it's back down around $300 or $400/oz. (I don't...

I hope this is all to the good. In any event, it's certainly good to have you back here!
Yeah, but I've seen nickels turned that color from their environment. And we don't know what the white balance is like on the photo. A discolored...
Baffling. $5.50 is still real money.
Let's hope it was a knowledgeable "buyer" who will set the seller straight.
Oh no no, at my age, just chasing them would cause plenty of trouble.
In other news, non-collectors have no idea how to "Select the image that best matches your coin's condition".
But now, some decades later, chasing GIRLS would only get me in trouble*... so, back to coins! * Unless and until granddaughters appear on the...
James H. Schmitz, "Where the Time Went". Thanks to the Internet Archive, you can read it now! It's only about eight pages. Bottom line, it's...
