Maybe the businesses fail before the dealers get old.
Right now, there isn't enough time in life to pursue any other hobbies, and not really enough time to even properly collect coins. That's why I...

It probably belongs in the general discussion section.
I agree that this is a good source for general information about each date and mintmark. However, it is lacking in my opinion when it comes to...
I never take into account whether it is reasonably possible to complete a set. If I like a coin, I'll buy an example of it. If I like a series,...
