Always a good time. US numismatics used to be like that from what I hear in the 40's and 50's. You can see why so many kids were caught up in it...
And it always has been sir. Its not just pm market either, this is a very common occurence of physical markets. Its one of the primary reason why...
I have moderated on slabs myself. For modern stuff, (post 1700), if I get a coin in a slab I just leave it nowadays. Maybe its spending so much...
Cool presentation, and a really cool collection idea! I think I will just stick to my one dimensional animal collection of rhinos, (its a nose...
Very impressive. I love the portrait, I can see why you just had to have it. :)
I am fine with any comments sir. Things like what Justafarmer said could be true, maybe its the cme selfishly trying to generate more volume. Any...
Good post. Most of the time its the story I hear about a coin afterwards that makes me appreciate more. An example was that roman republican...

Depends on the debt. Credit cards, car payment, etc? Heck yeah, pay it down and get rid of it. However, I am not liquidating assets to pay down my...
