How many times can I say it, there NEVER has been many young collectors sir. I have read ANA journals in the 1920's saying this hobby will die if...
I went to coins shows in the 70's sir. The age range back then was the same as today. Your argument might have more merit regarding US coins,...
Yes, IoM, but remember we are ancient collectors. We know the ancients knew the earth revolved around the sun and the earth was a globe. It was...
Well I am 45, so if a ton of cheap great coins do come on the market, rest assured I will be there as well. :)
I have read similar for over 30 years. Anyone remember the string of articles in the 80's that "documented" how coin collecting was already dead...
Coins wilk be cheaper in 20 years? Maybe in terms of purchasing power, idk, but in nominal terms I very much doubt that. I have bought coins for...
Biggest issue with such things are assumptions. Even if you are right about BRIC countries and rising affluence. What makes you so sure they will...
What does the ANA rules have to do with CL rules? Do you have any proof he is trying to rip off coin sellers, or just assuming it because he is...
I remember my first, still own it, but of course do not have a pic. It was a Larisssa bronze, about 18mm, pretty little black/green patina of the...

Not all Triton lots go to dealers Doug. There MAY be some hoarders out there willing to buy a large number of coins at a time. ;) I never meant...
Lol true. Maybe he didn't know you can bid a higher amount than just one increment on the app? By default it only goes to one increment higher.
Let's say the coin was going for $20, and the bidder wanted to win, (but wasn't smart enough to snipe). However, maybe the high bidder had bid...
I know its funny me complaining about Ebay since I buy something most weeks. I just got the coin in my avatar a few days ago, (Lanna kingdom,...
What couldn't the US mint learn more about? But seriously, its not the mints fault. Law dictates what mottos have to be on US coins, so like...
Maybe it has always been around. I was just bummed by page after page of corroded garbage, (of course all graded VF or higher of course). Btw, I...
Yeah, I saw one of them in the book on Silk Road coinage in China, (Xinjiang coinage?). Btw, a fellow ONS'er? Nice. I have belonged for over a...
Thanks for the link. One of the other issues I have is like SS 10. Do you happen to know more about the Byzantine imitative issues? I have one...
