Then why have an internet chat board about coins? Have you not learned a lot about whatever series you collect from members here? I know I have....
Its only a stupid question if the person should have known better. If "hungryahmad" is a new collector, like it sounds like he is, then he...
Lol, it is an advantage for us older generation, right? We have no written documentation of how stupid we were starting out. :) To the OP, its a...
My earliest coin collecting moment was from my mother's "safe". It was a 1960's little plastic safe replica given away at the bank. In there my...
Excellent write-up as usual Doug. The thing about going slow is you can do it in stages. I have had coins "going bad" as I lightened the toning,...
About 33 baht per dollar now. You will come out ahead for all things in Thailand from a year ago, its just relatively not quite as much with gold....
Good for her. I buy my wife all of the Thai gold she wants, as it's purer and much cheaper than gold in the US. Problem is, much of the price...
Heck yeah they do. Unless you are selling pm, everyone should be rooting for cheaper and cheaper pm, right? If you are a stacker, why wouldn't you...
Thanks for the post CZ. I have a friend who has a table at the South St Paul show, so I show up there occasionally. Most of the time I just wander...

Remember when I was made fun of here on CT relaying the whole story about "the Sheik" and his affect on the market? Man, I heard from Kerry...
Common date, circulated Peace dollars are simply bullion with a higher than average premium. When silver was $4 I had to pay $6 for them, they...
I hope you do not feel that way sir. I hope we can both get along with each other here. I sincerely do not wish to drive any participant away from...
Well, in regards to coin collecting, what you are advocating then is just buying a few coin versus many, since most people do not have unlimited...
My main concern with the "investment" side of it is basically what Doug said earlier. For quite a while ALL major areas of art has shown strong...
Yes, or a closer analogy would be the Roman and byzantine practice in the provinces of cutting coins in half to make change. For cash coins that...
It all gets back to how these were used Doug. Remember all cash were stored on, and mainly traded hands by, strings. Strings anywhere from 100 to...
Not just lately Doug. I have bought group lots of them a decade ago, (like 100 coins or more). I actually did a presentation on Wang Mang and his...
