yes...and worth a premium as such to many.
I'll be 65 in June.;)
On my radar as well. Problem is that it ISN'T on my bank account's radar. LOL

It's my thread, so I guess I should update it. Sure enough, my friend had 4 silver eagles, a capital holder with 5 wartime walking liberty halves...
Nice looking 1824, Larry. The label's wrong, though. The 1824 O-110 is not an over-date. It is merely a recut 4.
My wife volunteered me to go over to a church friend's house and look at several coins that he wants to sell. This never works out well--all it...

After all "the sky is falling; I've gotta get out of here RIGHT NOW!" investor types dumped their holdings you are right--collectors would hold on...
And I, for one hope the market does continue to fall. 1993 prices wouldn't bother me at all. 1973 prices would be even better.
