Silver investing shouldn't be a hobby. Its investing. A hobby is something you do for fun, but you only spend money you can afford to lose. Two...
No. I do not sell to people all of the time. Not selling to someone has nothing to do with discrimination. Discrimination is the act of...
I really respect your opinion sir, and we can agree to disagree at this moment. Maybe in the future I will convince myself otherwise. What do you...
No, going over the CNG database I only saw a mask on the Dei Solis types facing right. Here is an example from CNG:...
Yours is a good example of about 70% for this type. Maybe some celators in Rome actually saw him in the ceremony so engraved the mask? Or could it...
Yes, just like this. What is interesting is the string behind his head. This is missing on most coins of this Type. It looks like a ribbon that...
So after the hammering at CNG, I had some hot money in my pocket. A friend showed me this one. As I love Elagabalus relating to the Emessa Stone...
Sorry to say, but my money would be on either falling in a hole somewhere or stumbling across something like drug smugglers and "disappearing" the...

Its a very important point Doug makes about fresh coins onto the market. Did you ever wonder why Morgans, (a not particularly attractive coin),...
I would agree. I do happen to own for some reason a 1926 Sesquicentennial half in Good. I have no idea what that story is. Must have been a pocket...
There is one dealer at a LCS here who has some circulated. However, most never entered circulation at all. Only a limited few were released into...
I would agree you bring both great knowledge as well as humor, I simply believe women have a different perspective on average than men. Some of...
This hobby has always been older white male dominated. I went to a coin show in the 1970's and it was mainly old white males. What does this tell...
I got just DESTROYED in today's auction, so no newp's for me.... :(
I agree. I wrote a thread about it about a year ago, how writers were "laying the groundwork" by postulating the grade. Who knows if this was done...
Lol. You have about the same "negative midas touch" as I have sir. If I knew for sure where to invest I would do so. Since I don't, I simply...
I would mainly agree sir. However, I would point out that the reason coins were dipped white was to prove there was no damage under the toning. I...
It is now, but when toned coins first started bringing good prices it was because collectors were appreciating the original, undipped surfaces...
What is sad to me, and I have said it all along since toning became popular, is how many perfectly nice coins are ruined to create fake toning....
