I liked the state quarters, well some of them, and the America the Beautiful quarters are nicely done, but I'm burned out on places on coins. Why...
I'd like to see them come up with something original for a change and not another re-issue or a take on an older issue. They have artists on the...
You've been told wrong. Many collectors don't put whole sets together and they've never been called an enthusiast for doing so. Collecting is what...
If you're a hobbiest then all that shouldn't matter to you. I could care less what silver or gold is doing, how the market is doing, or if I ever...
I didn't have the time I thought I would in Philly. Blame the PA Turnpike for me losing a whole day there. I think we're talking about doing a NYC...
I bought a few at the Philly show, but I agree they were a bit higher priced than what I've found to be the case in my area. Guy

Still not sure if it would justify the grading fees though. But, I'm also not that up on modern note fads either. Guy
Perhaps I'm not seeing what you are, but, why? Guy
Sorry to hear that, Doc. I suppose if I had to be robbed I'd rather it be a complete stranger than a friend. Guy
The one that hurts the most wasn't even a coin. It was a brownback note from Emporium, PA which would have completed my set of notes (2) from that...
I think you guys have your mop headed bands confused....I'm certain he was the fifth Monkey, not Beatle. Guy
