Yes, its a specific, chronic problem some specific posters have. Everyone can look at how long each group has been here and the quality of their...
First, you throw in a couple of insults to me from a thread a couple of months ago, then you tell ME to be more mature? Look in a mirror. I have...
So then where would I post Medieval coins? Your solution will lead to medieval coins to be posted in both areas, making medieval a red headed...
WHY are the good books expensive? Are we all just stupid old men, (btw I am 45, maybe not the octogenarian you think)? Or could there possibly be...
Eh, I liked them combined. Like I just said in another thread, I am a world coin collector, its just many of mine are older than others. My...
Lol, you are stronger than I. I point out an area of high point rub, on a coin series I own maybe 40 of, and collected for 20 years, and have 5...
But Doug's point was still a very valid one. Not one single photograph can EVER truly represent every aspect of a coin. No matter how many you...

Nice write-up sir. I would emphasize your last point. Coin collecting should be a pleasurable experience. If you find yourself not liking the...
I have a couple of those black plastic boxes from them I keep really odd Chinese coins in. I personally am just not a fan of any coins with all...
Not an expert in these, but I remember the definition of machine doubling being, "flat, shelf like surfaces". To my, especially the bottom pic,...
Lol, fair enough. I live on a lake in MN, I guess ice fishing hot spots are not that big of deal to me, plus I don't eat fish. :(
But why go through the trouble of copper plating a weak digit steel cent? You would think they would pick a better specimen if they were trying to...
To me, sellers who list very high are trying to have the best of both worlds. They wish to protect themselves, but they also know many buyers only...
Lol, yeah I used to do that to. Back when silver was lower, I was buying silver at 3 times face, which was still more than the coin stores were...
