Yeah, but that is my problem with all of this stuff Jeff. It isn't about having the money to buy, its about the competition to be in line. Think...
I have never hated dealers catering to a demand. Hey, if there is a buck to be made, more power to them. So while I find it silly to collect...
Just a fantastic style coin Zohar. If not for the irregular flan, that would be one of the finest ancient greeks I have ever seen! Maybe its just...
You are right in general sir. I was referring more specifically to the ANA labeled coins, the ones the people in Chicago are waiting for so they...
If a collector is allowed to purchase more than one, then fine. I am also against collectors having family members or others buying items for them...
I completely disagree sir. I do not see this as little guy versus big guy at all, I see it as intent. WHY do they limit how many each person can...
"This guys needs a little cointalk in his life" EVERYONE needs a little cointalk in their life. :) As for this idiot coin polisher, eh. Most...
My point sir is that this WOULD be a nice idea, and a way for the mint to give back to the hobby. Its the dealers paying people to stnad in line...
They should make each of them sign a sworn statement that they are not being paid to stand in line, and the purchase is from their own money. Such...

Btw, your avatar is a spectacular piece. I do not think most know it, since you would have to go through all of the stuff on the market for a few...
I have the British Museum books on Celtic coins, as well as a fwe others. I think it was the British Museum books that had a great overview of the...
What got me was his intentional subterfuge. Mailing an empty box and having it mailed back to him? Those are actions of a guilty man going out of...
This. Let's face it, there are fakes and bad dealers in every collectible field. If you think fakes are bad in ancients, look into the...
I agree as well. Excellent SL half, especially its a rarer type and mint. Really nice coin that somewhere in its past someone thought looked...
Its an extremely nice example of the type, Big Red. I have seen very few so well struck. You have to forgive our jadedness here. I get it too. We...
I love old auction catalogs too, but have found they really can put a hurt on storage. At this point I try not to keep them all, keeping only...
I would agree Ebay will be more immediate results. However, do not give up on the ANA. Do you know, though, he is really an ANA dealer? Anyone can...
