I wonder if the moderns will fizzle out like the classics did, or if they'll just keep cranking them out at whatever price they can make a couple...
When I was in college in the mid-70's I worked summers as an engineer's aide for Ohio Dept of Transportation. The 60-something engineer I worked...
Totally off topic, I apologize, but I discovered this fact today and had to share. The painter of this well known work was born in Liverpool......
The thread is about modern silver.
The gifts I've given like this over the years have two requirements: 1. precious metal 2. commemorate the year My 2 cents..
True story. The 42/1 was the second to last Merc I acquired. Bought it from a big dealer advertising in Coin World back in the late '80's. Some...

A really nice set! I've been working on an XF-AU set since before time began and I'm still not done so I can appreciate yours. :)
I'm really becoming infatuated with 19th century proofs. I've got a pretty nice dime collection but none of the above. Congrats!
