I use folders for circulated coins, but for my nicer examples, I use albums. The folders I use have a sheet that goes in between the first fold...
The Sac. / Native American dollars are my favorite modern series. I really like this new design, can't wait to get the actual coins!
I like Ike and Ike dollar coins! I tend to pick up these whenever I come across them since they can be had for just a little bit over face.
If I had 5k to spend on PMs, I'd get 2k of gold, 2k of platinum and the rest in silver.
Personally, if I was to get a book on the series, I'd wait until a year or so after they're done with the series. Too soon for a book devoted to...

Really? About every vending machine in my area takes dollar coins and I live in Southern Indiana! I bet more machines do so in your area and...
The auctions I go to do not charge a buyer's premium, which is nice! Silver coins usually go for over spot, as for gold, so there are not really...
