This really is nothing new. I personally would do a whole lot of research before dropping $140k on anything! He's definately not alone though....
This guy might just be throwing the word "silver" in the title just to get hits. Someone might accidentally (or ignorantly) bid on this item. The...
I dropped $125 on the 1921 Peace dollar a few years ago. I'm hoping to get the 1913 V-nickel, or possibly the 1933 double eagle next...
Like Kevo, I too had stopped collecting in my teens. Girls and cars, you know... My father got me into coin collecting at a pretty young age of...
So, what exactly is the error in this key date, extremely rare must have?
From an investment's standpoint, it's a complete gamble. As with most coin purchases you make, buy the coin you like, and BECAUSE you like it. If...

Wisconsin has a 5% sales tax, but I've never witnessed anyone charging sales tax at a show. I guess technically they could charge, but they could...
If anyone here subscribes to Coin World, there is an article in theOctober 2010 issue addressing this topic. There are senators from both parties...

The bidding has ended on this one, but it looks fine to me. Not a top-end example, but not a problem coin either.
Very neat find! I am becoming inspired to once again buy a metal detector yet once again...
I really think that if the U.S. mint keeps up the current trend of uninspiring, and downright cheesy designs, the new Franklin Mint may be a good...
