Very nice Class F. For those reading, the Class F frequently is very corroded or overstruck badly. This is a well above average specimen.
Great info, just not sure I agree, especially concerning the E versus F ratio. Me, and many dealers I have always spoken to who specialize in...
Eh, I always found this quote to be a cheap out. Who is to say most of the time if the market is irrational or the economist. Many economists have...
Thanks Mat. Regarding the lots, the two cheap ones is normal for me. If I can justify wanting one or two coins I consider the rest of the coins...
Just the same as a bear predicting all pm will soon become valueless would probably be heckled. Reason is, 99.99 percent of time markets are...

I would if you subtracted the money out of the equation. Tell me I can have one but never sell it, and I would not want it. I have no interest in...
