Like I wrote in another thread, they are AVERAGES. Anyone looking at any price guide has to realize it means on average, since no two coins are...
First, most do not dump them back into the same bank they got the coins, it ticks the banks off. Second, any kind of withdraws and deposits do not...
What your friend is getting at is how do you prove to the IRS this money being deposited is money you already paid taxes on? I understand you say...
Yeah, I have considered that. My problem is I have too many interests. I collect ancients of many eras, ancient/medieval SE Asian, etc. I wish I...
Not the top but maybe $100 an ounce more than today. I don't give a rip, I bought it because I like the coin. I have some St Gaudens I got for...
I agree with the 1.20556 number. For all Mexican gold, I just remember 10 pesos is equal to our half eagle, ($5 gold piece). I do not know if we...

I am getting to the point any kind of rare 20th century US coin I would want certified before I buy, especially on ebay. Heck, even goofy crap I...
