I collect all of them sir, the three great centers of coin invention, Greece, China, and India. While I love your idea that too much credit is...
Just as a follow up, (especially for those who mocked my information), Baldwin's has now sued this buyer for non-payment of millions of dollars in...
I subscribe/have subscribed to all of them. My input would be: It depends. Do you know you are only interested in US coins? If you are open to...
Yeah, me too. To say buying a commodity that pays no interest, (in fact costs you money to store it, negative interest really), and can not only...

I will agree that having a type set folder would increase demand, I will disagree about what the "real veterans" started with. Most of the...
Regarding world coin junk boxes, heck yeah there are lots of them. I went to the MOON show here a couple of weeks ago and probably saw 20-30 if I...
This could be true of the majority, but I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I would agree 100% on the BIN listings, but auctions can...
