I know $25 is $25, (I am an accountant), but I would chalk it up to their systems not being properly updated. Are you happy with the coin at $375?...
Nice representative cash Gil-Galad. In my mind, the ban liang, Wu Zhu, and Kai Yuan Tong Bao cannot be underestimated. They would be somewhat akin...
Nice one, much rarer than the proof issues. I had most of these from 1880-1889, but don't remember which I was missing. TBH I haven't looked at...
Yes, I heard this at the time that a lot of the mad rush at the mints were only to get the coins shipped to chicago to get ANA holders. The whole...
Good suggestions Doug. I had already done searches of one of these. Is it a pretty bad sign that from all three of these search engines, this coin...
I know I am being cryptic, and I apologize. Sear has it at an average price for the series, nothing really unusual. I just have a reason I want...
So, there is a coin I have been searching for actively for about eight years. Its probably on my top three list. Everyone says it's just scarce,...
I am with Doug. A "set" of anything doesn't do anything for me, unless it's something like a group showing gradual barbarization of a certain...

Ancient collectors are lucky there are lots of good websites now for them. Back in the day, we had to settle for yahoo groups and the like. The...
Retail, no. But, remember many dealers are more wholesale dealers than retail. Point being there are price and margins points within all...
It all comes down to what you want. Whatever way a person wishes to collect is great. I never disparage what or how a person wishes to collect,...
The whole "box of 20" thing I have never got. Yes, I understand where it is going. Yes, I know I appreciate high grade coins. To me, the "box of...
I have seen more junk available lately as well. I also saw a pretty large group of 2012 ASE's come on the market around here. These are simply a...
I too was in the automotive component industry for a time. That industry is just tough overall. To say, though, that X margin is "required" is...
You are assuming it's random chance like the lottery. It's not, or at least shouldn't be. Trust me, finding a high end 64 in such a situation will...
It was just an example sir to show how there are fixed components and variable components to the situation, so putting everything in terms of...
Its a key, even though the coins inside it are freely available for much cheaper? Sounds like a lot for the cardboard packaging to me, but if that...
I have thought about a PO box. Maybe I should, but have never had a package go missing to my house, (knock on wood). Besides, with what I buy, no...
