I've got to disagree with this old chestnut (although, I've heard other items used instead of a Colt revolver - a "fancy wool suit" seems to be...
You feel that a discussion of Walmart is appropriate for this thread, but that Fox news is not? Could you please explain why you feel that way,...
I agree. I think WalMart is trying to change the subject and get the spotlight off of their discriminatory employment practices (and that...
In what way did he "lose" here? A paypal claim should make him whole quite nicely. Whether you're buying a coin raw or in a slab, it always pays...
I'd keep it, but it's probably not worth a huge premium. Maybe a dollar or two. It seems like a lot of those 1980 dimes had strange issues.

I recently purchased a 1948 Franklin, slabbed by ANACs with a label noting "DDR FS-801 Die 1". I'm not familiar with Franklins, so I'm having...
It sounds like your grandfather may have been one of the assay commission members - they all got medals (and typically, a very few additional...
