Sorry if you believe I am communist, but the idea of calculating profit this way has been here since the advent of the Income Tax system. Just...
Good point. Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy where to explain why science declined showed that instead of improving science education or cure...
I understand sir. Its just, to me, there were XXX,XXX lincoln cents produced in Philadelphia in 1913. To me, that has always been the mintage. The...
Right. Remember, though, there are two very different "costs of production". The first one is the total costs, the costs of opening a new mine....
Personally, I would ask how you got these coins. The reason I ask is there are huge numbers of these being faked and coming out of China. A few of...
I always thought it weird to say each coin has two mintages, business strike and proof. Personally I never considered a proof version as a...

If you are looking for a single book on a particular series, I would suggest just asking here. We have many knowledgable collectors of each...

Seriously Peter, you started it on Sept 27th? How weird, today is my birthday, (though I am a little older than 10). :D
One can simply read of the panics and other economic turmoil experienced regularly, and couple this with the fact the size of the US economy then...
1172 is the Arabic date, it doesn't correspond to CE dating. You can google a chart converting them, they are not the same length year. Edit:...
