I have an encased cent, though not a 14D, or even a wheat, but to me it's even more valuable as it's one Mr Binion gave to my Grandfather...
That article would be more relevant if it had been published in 2001 when this was actually news. Today it's just fact. That 8% growth in economy...
I'm on the line with the FBI as I type this. :D Guy~
I didn't think that was supposed to open until the end of 2010. It's not like the government to do things ahead of schedule. Guy~
I said $300-400, because I've seen lesser Jefferson's go at least that high with equal coloring. Guy~
I don't see any reason to believe the coin is fake. I'm suspicious of the "chopmark", though, as most I've seen were punched in with a die punch...
It doesn't take too long for them to turn brown in pants pockets either. Might be the detergent or something. Guy~
You didn't spend much and you get to look through a pile of stuff, so at least it might be fun, and really , $28 for a few hours of fun is a...

Very good write-up Philip, and I agree shill bidding is a major problem on the Bay. On a constructive note, if I may, I'd be careful in what what...
I'm not afraid. Of course I only have just over 2 Oz of gold. But I'd like to have more, just not at todays prices. Guy

Exactly, Jim. Gold will be just another rock. Goods and services will be traded as currency, not shiny yellow things. Though I understand your...
True. I think those people are a majority of those selling right now. Guy~
Ordered mine. I have a question. How does the mint produce these mint sets before all the coins they contain are even released? If they've minted...
