I think Carr's 09 proof is not exactly tasteful but I fail to understand the aneurysm inducing fury it seems to provoke in some people. The man...
Interesting. Lets do some quick back of the napkin math to see it cladkings statement here could be accurate. So lets look at the labor cost of...
I was going to say one thing, the silver set but after seeing the platinum eagle it's definitely two things now. That is a fantastic design. It...
I really doubt a scientist had anything to do with this. Nice collection, I'm impressed but aren't they called cheques?
This post is full of victory.
So by your reasoning these could also be considered coins: [IMG] And this stopped being a coin in 1876 and started being a coin again when it was...
Bah, the source I found said 8 billion. I then promptly wrote 800. What little common sense I have should have caught that. Thanks for correcting...
Your reasoning is sound but that doesn't rule out the possibility. The precedent would be the pittman act of 1918 that resulted in the peace...
My first thought at hearing the 2 billion number was that they are being stockpiled for the eventual replacement of the paper dollar. But google...
Don't worry about it too much. Your studies will make you far more in the long run than these "coins" will. But your information is incomplete....

Thanks for the post. It is an interesting coin although I don't think the subject is fitting for a great country like Canada. To put a sports team...
This is fun. Knowing next to nothing about grading I'll throw out 1 $373.75 2 $431.25 3 $920.00 4 $632.50
Doug I agree with you about the personal responsibility. Too many people (like Mr. Stern above) believe any real or imagined misfortune must be...
RLM, Yes, most actually do. For every every transaction you have with a business where they do not provide what was advertised I bet you have many...
Thank god other industries don't work like this. Commerce would come to a screeching halt. If I get on a plane to JFK I should have a reasonable...
Agreed. The more I see French coinage the more I like French coinage. They seem to have a wealth of attractive designs, at least before the...
Hi TLM. I'll take a shot at this question. Realize that there are many different types of collectors out there. The art collector. They look at...
Separate names with a comma.
