Good catch. I wonder if the Red Book rep is watching this forum. I know one of their rep's monitores the PCGS web site. Not long ago I compiled a...
I was a little surprized that this poll started out with such a high cost. I've bought some slabbed coins for as little as $5. I always wonder why...
Posts like that always remind me of when I was telling a friend of my neighbor about coin collecting he said he had a bunch of old coins in cans,...
This gets asked on all forums, by friends, at coin shows, etc. For me it is really easy.Way, way, way back when I was a kid my Dad came home and...
When I read items like this I usually run out to my garage and try doing dumb things associated with the topic. So I drilled a hole in a quarter,...
Not to brag about Whitman but I can add blank pages in my Washington Album until the seams are ready to rip apart. Whitman sells blank pages for...

I don't subscribe to that mag but I pick them up at coin shows free all the time. It is a great mag and if I wasn't so cheap I'd probably buy that...
