Boy, that could really go a different way with that, huh?
So I just about set up a snipe, and caught myself. The lot I was going to bid on is not really my specialty area. So I stopped and thought why the...
I agree its an odd size. Historically its always been $1000 face bags. $100 face was invented later as the "small size". Go to a local show...
First, the bimetallic system was inflationary. Please read your history and why Bryant created his "Cross of Gold" speech. Second, the...
...and most people never even paid attention to them until some telemarketers started heavily promoting these in the late 90's-early 2000's. A...
Yeah, that's worth the same as BU early gold or a higher end circulated AMERI. cent. :(
Btw, I am NOT posting this article to poke fun at anyone. Nor am I posting it to be a jerk, (though I am sure many believe I am). I am posting...

About the only thing I can say after this is I just don't have enough "likes" to give. One of the best posts I have read on CT, and sums it up...
I agree with educating yourself and learning how to grade. I disagree though with saying the ANA standards are the "basis". Its the basis of US...
He might have a case. The only hangup for him that I ever saw was the fact he called them dollars. Liberty is on all of our coins by law, and...
I agree solidarity was a guiding theme, as represented by the silver "4 emperors shaking hands" reverses from the period. But, you just said...
They always are meant that way. Its the internet though, sir, so you never know how any post is taken.
Oh ok, I was just repeating what I had heard. So these reverses were just generic, "the empire has strong spirit"? Kind of seems like a strange...
I would these are basic coins. I also agree with Doug you aren't cheating the dealer at $15 per. I know I am cheap, but the one thing I would...
