Ok I will be the jerk and call it a VG08. I appreciate the eye detail, but the ear is about obliterated. The rim fading on the reverse is not...
I have heard the same from others who knew the man. I had a chance to acquire a handwritten manuscript of his. Normally I would have jumped at...
That makes sense to me in the normal English language usage of the two terms. I do not know if there is a special numismatic definition of...
Yeah, I agree. When I was younger I found almost every date with missing initials, it seems grease naturally got stuck in that area.
Yeah, but some of us are just hoarders and are interested in everything. I will need to make sure I visit both areas just to make sure I am not...
Yes sir. up to 5 or 6 dollars over spot is still considered a bullion item. More than that and its becoming more of a collectible, which is fine...
Looks like Michael VII to me, but that is just at first blush. I have a gold one of his that looks very similar.
Thanks for the info sir. :)
I agree with other good advice here. Collect government issued bullion. Collecting bullion is actually brilliant, since you get the safety of...
You are nuts. I am a couple of hundred feet from a frozen lake and you couldn't pay me to go on the thing. Minnesotans are crazy. Give me a nice...
That is just being a collector sir. If the coin gives you $500 in pleasure, its worth $500 to you regardless of what the "book" value says. I...
I pretty much know what you look like Doug, but doubt you would recognize me. We should try to have a CT lunch or something somewhere. Either...

I unfortunately learned that one too Paul. :( For others who haven't done this, please listen. When removing a coin from a 2x2, please use a...
Good gosh, I have no idea what my worst mistake was. There has been many of course. Anyone saying they have never made a mistake in coin...
Very true sir, like sellers putting junk coins in 2x2's so people think they were better coins, or using blurry photos on purpose, etc. I was...
Yes, some cross posting will happen. My proposed solution, only a proposal, though would minimize it. Many other sites and auction firms split...
True, but such a script for something like bullion could possibly be written to narrow down items that needs to be looked at. I have some cheesy...
Boy that was quick. I agree there is no need for name calling. It was too rich of premium for my blood, but if the OP does think we are at the...
Its down over 1% today. Premiums are still high. If 15-16ish is the new normal for a while, they will come down. They always do. What will...
Separate names with a comma.
