One thing you can do is go to the local sheriff or police and volunteer to participate in a sting. I did as a kid. These people hold themselves...
What I don't get is why are so many people stuck in a gold mindset. Look at it this way, 2500 years ago we were agrarian people. Most things...
Well I am sure you did well. You never know with both the gold market and Chinese numismatic market nowadays anything can happen. I am seeing some...
I would second Doug's opinion and get the Krause catalog. It is the standard, and its numbers are used universally. Having this book will enable...
Are you mainly trying to learn how to grade BU coins or all grades? For circulated grades I would use a photograde book and a couple of websites...
Awww, come on, I just noticed Doug got a like! Alright, stand up and fess who the heck would like Doug. Admit your wrongdoing! :) J/K, great...

Man, I see people put more thought into this than I do. I actually keep my guns in the safe to protect the guns, not the other way around! That...
But is the market allows it, then its not a default. Only if the contract states that settlement has to be in physical delivery would I view it as...
