I am not sure about the disdain shown here. I like some of the designs, I just find these new ones very pedestrian. I do not care how "scarce",...
I am with Treehugger. Very pedestrian designs. Why don't they try more items like the Mount Rushmore one? Be creative, look at items from a...
I think its a pathetic concept myself. All the mint can come up with for interesting products their customer may want to buy is rehashing 100 year...
So it looks like it will be $435 when released? Did I read that right?
Just like cars, the "model year" keeps getting earlier and earlier to try to capture a little more early demand. The weird thing is, in coins...
Hmm, thanks for that. I had no idea it was a known thesis. I guess its true, nothing in life is very original. :)
I agree with Doug. I have a 1913 Type I that looks just like it. I pulled it out of a manila envelope in which it had been placed maybe 40 years...
I would doubt it's Mr. Carr's. He usually produces upstanding, numismatically related items. I saw the "Arkansas" one for sale at coin shows over...
I would say the dies were owned by the FORMER Federal government, but that government dissolved when the South seceded. The inheritor of this...
I have always contended something around the 6th-7th century happened around the world to change things forever, and that is my cutoff of what is...
Coin photos are tough. I agree, though, that the seller somewhat misrepresented that coin. I bought my avatar a few weeks ago. In hand, where...
Lol, and money.
Yeah, but it was the German Ebay that pulled it. Its a tough call for Germans. If it were the US Ebay I would be outraged and morally indignant...
This is how I feel. I left the US field due to being dictated to about how I should collect and what constituted a "set". I refuse to be told what...
Some come in gold, but not all. I know the Type I does not come in gold. Last I saw, Bill Daehn has documented 47 had ever been sold at auction...
"Luristan" was either the largest metal factory the world has ever seen, or simply what they attribute every metal thing made before a certain...
I had thought of this too. However, you would still have self selection problems. If a dealer knew the coin was overgraded, why would he ever let...
Oh heck, I have had much worst than that OP. I have a box of books go from the UK, to NYC, then Marshall Islands, Hawaii, than back to Iowa. Dang...
Just wait, there will be a service of placing "exceptional for the grade and CAC sticker" in special plastic pouches for a fee, (labeled of...
I think that was added later. Canada claims Superman is Canadian, and Toronto is Metropolis. I believe one of the people who drew him was Canadian...
Separate names with a comma.
