Hey, everyone is in a different place financially in their life. I am not trying to throw anyone under the bus because they cannot afford a book,...
Like I wrote elsewhere sir, it can be dangerous. If you are relying on others interpretations of books, how do you know they didn't make a...
I used to have a copy of it, as well as an earlier Seaby version. I sold them off when I got rid of duplicates through a dealer friend. I do own...
As a further argument for paper books, once its in a permanent book format you have the ability to read critiques of them. Yes, many numismatic...
I thought we were Miami Dolphins players..........
I was not trying to demean modern collecting in the slightest sir. I have no ill will towards modern collectors at all. My only concern is the...

I imagine the entire world is an aggravation at this point. I remember reading Stephen King novels 20 years ago and wondering how the heck did...
We all have bad days sir, and I am glad you are man enough to admit when you were wrong. I believe it would be a nicer board if everyone had such...
I would say Doug IS very much involved with coins though sir. He devotes a lot of time here educating the masses on CT. I for one believe he has...
I don't disagree with Doug's excellent advice. However, I simply refuse to sell. Maybe I have been lucky in life I have not had to contemplate...
