I agree, our hearts go out to you sir. I could not imagine having such news given to me. :(
Most toned coins, in fact, are one sided. This is because of coin folders. Older coin folders had sulphur in the paper, and toned the exposed side...
I agree with others have said. These have always sold at a discount to melt, which I do not ever see changing unless copper really increases,...
Better than holding paper money? Absolutely. Better than holding other assets? Maybe/maybe not. Even though I bought most of my silver at $4, I...
Look at the space between the date and the edge denticles. NO way can the edge of the coin be correct spacing, the damaged denticles are correct...
I don't remember seeing them either, but having such things does not surprise me. The mint used to be more informal about such things, as opposed...
Sounds like a good seller. I would remember his name and patronize him.
Lol, that far back, huh? I remember when each of you joined, save Doug and Ken, and I still consider myself a newbie, (please ignore the post...
We were a religious nation back then. There was a religious affront to Bryan comparing economic policies to Jesus' suffering on the cross. Not...
I didn't think John's cartoon was mean at all. I am betting every single one of us here has turned their back on a nice day, or night, to instead...

I tell you what TIF, that first pic of Quagmire is not too far off the mark. I am sure all of us here love looking at Triton auctions, Gemini,...
To me, its a pretty scary fake. Look at the reverse, nothing weird going on here. Now, the obverse, the edge of the obverse die deviates from the...
Man, with all of these issues, I sure wish I had scheduled a lot more snipes for today.
Maybe their login controller is down. I can access the home page, but when I click login it cannot display the page.
Rare coins are rare. What you want to buy is what everyone has always wanted to buy. These coins are out there, but most are owned by collectors...
Most likely yes, but "cleaned" and "harshly cleaned" are two different things. Still has decent luster. If no cleaning scratches it might be...
True, but for some of us its more "examine once a decade versus put in a box and never look at it while they live". :)
I like Doug's idea if you want something immediately. I am kind of curious why patterns? If you did not KNOW what regular production coinage...
Separate names with a comma.
