Personally, I think they were pulled out of circulation to a much greater extent by the public than the government. Any older relative when I was...
Well, I have never bought a product fromt he US Mint, but seeing as how my son is 4 weeks old, I think I may have to buy this set. It should be...
Yeah, that could be. I was just shocked how quickly it just wore away. You are right, though, those coins looked as bland as Ike did. I vote that...
Fair enough sir, I was just pointing out the downside to using internet attributions. I see way too many ancient collectors using Ebay or other...
Nvm. If anyone wishing to hear "bashers" of Mr. Carr's activities, there are threads here about it.
That is a fine workaround, except for one detail. You are assuming that the Overton number is correctly assigned. I know many people in ancient...
Btw, not sure if it would help, but I have relatives who live in KC and NE Missouri, as well as a childhood friend in St Louis. I do not want you...
Me neither. I would take a good ruby or emerald over a diamond anyday. They are, (of course you could say better), probably about 1000 times rarer...

I like either the general delivery option stated by McBlzr, or simply offering to mail the prizes to the winners yourself Chris. Is there a reason...
Yeah, even copper nickel clad will wear down pretty quickly if used as a pocket piece. I knew an older gentleman in the 90's who always carried...
Yes, you are right sir. I never meant to say buy a poorly performing company. I meant a company that not a lot is expected of it, but has a good...
I do not know about Nortel specifically, and stay away from foreign stocks with government intervention just for that reason. I was simply talking...
Lol, even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while, huh? Thank you for the information that there are plate quality differences, that is...
Well, in my experience the main reason ancient collectors will want an earlier edition is plate quality. Subsequent editions frequently reprint...
Just to clarify, "Value investing" is buying poor performing stocks cheap. There is no indication necessarily they are "growing". Maybe you are...
While this may have been true the last 20 years, there is no proving this will be true for the next 20. Its a lot like buying a stock after it has...
