I just am not sure I guess. I think state laws have to be in play as well, since I live in the twin cities, and have NEVER seen an estate auction...
This is good advice if it is an auction, but I disagree with your statement that most estate sales are auctions. It really depends on what state...
I agree as well, and this is where this whole mess started. The US government created Fannie and Freddie, and it was good FOR THE TIME. Both...
I agree completely, though I hate saying so here, (competition). I didn't even notice it, but just got a 1923 Canadian cent in a lot I bought a...
Ebay "unsearched rolls" is usually about as truthful as "military intelligence". :) I am a war vet guys, I hope I am allowed to make fun of the...
Well written, informative, and spot on accurate response. I wish I had something to add. Edit: Actually I do. Rhino, if you are in Washinton DC...
Well I used to be responsible for doing the remittances of contents of SDB and monies in 20 states for a nationwide bank. All of the States I...
If a bank closes, there is no affect on ownership of SDB. No creditor can take a lean on its contents, as the bank never had any legal interest in...
I would have guessed yes to the 32, but no to the 09. I thought the 09 looked fine. Remember these I believe were made from different sources of...

I have never had to report bank account balances, or stock account balances, only transactions made in them, (interest, dividends, sales), and...
This memory is going back a ways, but didn't England have equipment to do milled coinage, but the mint workers break it as to not lose their jobs?...
Like I said, a ton of people hate SL design too. I personally think low grade barber coins are boring and ugly, but thats unfair since they are...
One thing to consider is scope. Back in 1933 private US gold was a large percentage of national wealth. Therefor, consfiscation of gold helped the...
In cash only Jello. The 10,000 threshold is for cash payments to my knowledge, not wires or checks, (which leave their own trail).
The dirty little secret about why a lot, (not all), people were upset is that collectibles IS an area where people do not report income taxes. Its...
The rays led to premature cracking of the dies. Nickel is a very hard metal, and that extra design element was just destroying dies. All shields...
I understand Doug, and you are exactly right. I was just asking if it was a case that "proof" was created for the same reason artist proofs are...
