Yes and no. I use a huge list of dealers, but still have items on want lists with a few. Basically some of the stuff I want is REALLY scarce, and...
No, broken pieces is not very common. I have the same coin and its intact. Your break will affect its value, though not too severely since its...
Sounds like you plan on frying yourself a BIG batch of taters. Make sure you add the bacon grease. :D Now I am hungry.....
....but your not the only one. Sorry, had to insert my favorite quote. I bet most of us here REALLY wish that, but I fear we are in the...
Whatever I am, please do not call me a Peep. All I can think of when I hear that word is those sickening sweet mushy things my Mom gave me as...
That IS the issue. First rule of security, do not let ANYONE see your security measures. EVERY person who knows any of your security measures is a...
Its authentic but in pretty rough condition. Your second pic is the obverse, and the reverse is the god. I forget his name. I am just concerned...
I just think people need to stop and look at the value of US real estate holdings, and future value of taxes collected from the US. THAT is what...

Long term versus a nominal dollar, (or Euro, or yen, or Renmimbi, or Peso)? Yes, of course mathematically it will. You cannot have ANY commodity...
