Nonsense. You have plenty to contribute sir. Many times the best contribution is a well asked question that starts a good dialogue. Especially in...
Please make a note Conder. I haven't been to CICF in a while, but would love to meet you at one or Chicago ANA show someday. :) You are one of the...
Really? And you also believe 18th century coins are held to the same standards as 20th century ones, or 1916d dimes are the same grading scales as...
Lol, I thought is was familiar. ;)
So do you? Do you blindly buy and sell based upon these standards, or do you look at the coin? If the TPG can make up whatever grade they wish for...
Its not an "established standard", because TPGs refuse to grade according to "established standards". Its how PCGS grades it. Nothing more or...
I am not a huge fan myself, especially the modern, ultra cameo effect. I find it makes it harder for me to see the design details. I buy BU...

Sounds like a pretty eas way to either get permanent lung damage or blow yourself up. Its not like there are little platinum coins inside these...
I like the coin. Its actually in better shape than most Cilician bronzes. Nice coin. :)
Except, unfortunately, much of that money goes into the business down the street that employs your neighbor, your father, or maybe even you. Some...
Sorry, it was a joke. Doug and I have somewhat similar opinions of tpgs at times.
If you are counting qe, maybe, but I think that is unfair. As a transaction, the taxpayers will make tens or hundreds of billions on the financial...
Dang nice coin. Have you reseaarched to see if proofs were even made? This coin is definitely proof or prooflike. NGC usually is pretty decent at...
I have never, ever said I have been in favor of bailouts. None. I am talking about the market function generically of investment banks. Even...
I have better things to do than read 7 pages of a thread HOPING to get what you wish for me from it. No, its not laziness on my part, but laziness...
My best performing stock ever has been LVS, a Vegas casino with tons of casinos in Asia. I agree, human nature is human nature, and it will...
