Of course I am not saying to not pursue any remedies. If you knew me, you would know I would go absolutely postal if someone tried to rip me off....
I understand that argument, but personally believe maybe it was overkill. I am not a big bullion guy, but if I were to make a purchase of a...
Depends on what is available, what my funds look like, and what I am in the mood for. This last month was "bad", I probably spent about $3400....
Yes, please. There can definitely be a lynchmob mentality at times, and sometimes an innocent member can be lynched. That is why we did away with...
I would think the addition of tons of fine details would be the reason it will deter. Just look at the 09sVDB thread we had yesterday. There are...
I was afraid of that. That was my impression from photos, I thought the marks in the fields definitely looked offputting and distracting. Too bad,...
Advice from another well respected dealer Irishcollector. Just pointing personalities out since you are new here. Actually I respect the...

I am worried as well. Why are the date and VDB so bright and clear versus the portrait? This coin in particular amongst wheat cents begs being...
I have heard color enhancement and for some reason some nicks on the coin do not really show up on the photos. For me, this is hearsay since I...
The 80's took out a bunch of rounds manufacturers as well. I agree with Dunk, its a cyclical industry. Without a country name and denomination on...
Yeah, I have heard that. I prefer old fashioned dealers who, either verbally or pictorially, describe a coin that will be better in hand than...
Welcome back. I would concur with Doug's sage wisdom, never invest in coins, buy them for your love of them. Its a hobby. I would get a single...
I love the Chi Ro in between the standards. To me, that makes this a most unusual and interesting coin.
They are participating in a Thai festival called Loy Krathong. Its where you make offerings into the river of flowers and candles. I did it in...
