What's wrong with doing homework to determine approximate market value of a coin, deciding what it's worth to you, and if you can afford it,...
Read the fine print for nomorobo on their website, your telco's website and various reviews. Not all phone companies support it, and some phone...
Ideally, one should play the game until a person cones on the line, but without saying or doing anything that can be construed as a commitment....
Really enjoyed your report. Very interesting to see what other collectors like and how they approach buying. Thanks. Cal
Search for acetone, and you'll find lots of threads and posts. It's safe for all metal coins. It will dissolve some plastics and is very...
Although blocking or not answering calls from numbers you don't recognize can help, there are downsides. You may miss calls that are from numbers...
Although it's good to register on the "do not call" list, it won't stop all telemarketers. The reason is a big flaw in the caller-ID system,...
Just what's needed to get those hot AT coins off the BBQ. Cal

So, this Judd-1732 trade dollar (see link) was struck in copper, and then was silver-plated in the early 20th century. PCGS still saw fit to slab...
I know the result but will let @Cascade reveal it. But would you spend close to $3K on a roll like that? Cal
Political will probably won't be there to eliminate the cent until price of zinc makes it profitable to melt them. It will happen eventually;...
Curious as to why the sticker came off the slab, but (apparently) the slab remained on the coin. Cal
If a coin comes into CAC, they scan the bar code, find it's been seen before and rejected, then what? Do they actually have their graders look at...
I find registered mail is especially prone to disappearing from the radar for days. I think because it has to be signed for at each hand-off, the...
As a side question, how many degrees of rotation are allowed by TPGs before they stick an error label on the slab? I've owned some two cent...
