I agree man, I would love silver to drop like a rock. The thought of buying large quantities of material I have recently become interested in...
I was surprised a little that you thought netiher were VF understrict standards. I consider myself fairly strict, but thought coin two, when all...
I understand your feeling, but when? If it hit $50 this year I would sell some, if it hit $50 in 4 years probably not. Remember every year these...
Good point. I would never tell especially a new collector to buy all uncirculated coins. Where is the fun, the connection? With circulated coins...
Quarter comes right from the coin, so no arguing there to me. Nickel is to tell the TYPE of five cent piece, since when they came out there were...
I voted cent since the Mint Act specified a cent and half cent, and the proper abbreviation for a penny is "d", for denarius. Since the real penny...
I too prefer a little wear on most coins. Some were such great designs that you can still make them out when well worn, (barbers and SL come to...

Man that sucks. I feel your pain, she is a definite beauty. I hate when I do that too, I second guess myself and don't put in low bids feeling it...
Isn't that the truth.......Hobo has it completely right of course, the human eye tries to either make sense of randomness or see what it wants to...
You can collect what YOU want to call a collection. Have you thought of a type set? I think those are wonderful for kids. They are interesting...
Heck no. Collect what grades you like and can afford. I buy coins in VG or F sometimes if that is all I can find. Collect what you can afford...
That would be a dream job for some, others not so much. If it were me, I think it would make me stop collecting. Imagine having all of these...
Sorry I was not clear, I was speaking of the statue on Antioch bronzes from 510 or so that are a famous pagan statue there. And just so I was...
