Ya know, I thought about this a little more. I think two things work against me being a "force" : I really don't aspire to being a force I'm a...
Am I a force ? No. Heck no. But I look for folks who are and ask questions.
I'm with ya. The press release did mention gold. It did not mention uncirc only. Hopefully, they will offer a proof. We'll see. Either way, I'm...
Agree about the weakly struck reverse.
I'm thinkin' VF25, assuming the streaks on either side of star #7 are on the slab. Same with color around OF on reverse. Nice coin ! Very little...
We're all supposed to believe "things are changing fast"... that's what we're force-fed. But is it true ? Yes, some things are changing, but...

Hmmm... I thought hyper-inflation in Germany was a cause of great problems at the time. I also thought the US made enormous loans to Germany after...
When I was in Russia, I came upon a pile of aluminum 1 kopeck coins in a parking lot. Being 1/100 of a rouble, one needed 28 kopecks per US penny...
I think that's a wonderful coin. Tons of luster ! Maybe a little light strike around 3 o'clock on the obverse. NOT full head, but good rivets...
...which makes them no different from many of us human beings ! ;) But seriously folks... Snowden mentioned the history of coins of the US. I...
Nobody's gonna flame you... certainly not the seller ! :rolleyes:
I don't know either, but my guess is it would wind up around EAC 15, maybe 20. There are some strong Early Copper guys runnin' around here....
