Thanks Diocletian. Yeah, my comments in the OP were a tongue-in-cheek reference to these comments by David Hall - for which he was rightly...
Under the bridge there lived a troll. He didn't have a soul. He infected the thread and it got to his head. Please mods, kill this troll dead!
Uhh.... Is this guy serious?
Haha, I looked at the date and saw 12-08, didn't even realize that it was December 2002.
An "expert" of "30 years" on "Amerikan" coinage would know that Peace dollars are indeed silver. An expert would also know that gold tones...
If you really are interested in talking (and learning) about coins, I recommend you read my article on toning here:...
If I had this budget and wanted a gold coin, I would buy an NGC or PCGS certified Type I AU gold dollar of the 1850's. They are running in the low...

It would be a lot more convenient if you could rotate the pics and put them right side up. It looks like you've captured a good bit of the...
Seems like a clever and fun way to get rid of a bunch of junk, if you can find enough suckers. Shouldn't be hard, given that its Ebay.
Greysheet (and other colors) have been pretty much useless to me because they don't have FBL prices. Now that I'm looking into other series, they...
Doug, do you possibly remember where/when it was discussed? I don't recall seeing it, so it must have been before my time here.
