Buy on the dips. I'm planning on buying again.
Great advice. I need to overcome the impulse to just fill a hole, and rather focus on quality. I'm down to 7 coins, and I'll wait for the right...
What do you guys think about this key date? She appears to have had an old cleaning, yet still has overall nice eye appeal. Should I make an...
Ship-wreck coins are fascinating. But they tend to be over-hyped and over-priced. If you're going to go down this road, you might do better to...
eBay is the free market at its purest. I find it fascinating just to watch what coins sell for on eBay. If you're going to play, you have to arm...
Just two for now. I'm still in the process of upgrading from a Christmas layout set up on the dining room table (which irritates my wife to no...
Got some coal. Well some coal cars for the Christmas layout anyways.
If you are going to invest in silver, I'd recommend American Silver Eagles, (ASE) canadian Maple Leaf coins. They are .999 silver one ounce coins,...
