Its not quite as riveting as an over vs under tp debate, but i concur.
I would say nearly all instead of many. Collect coins for love of coins. Most collectors IMHO, (including myself), when they start talking about...
Well, its official. I just found this coin in Sellwood. I should have check there besides Gobl and SNS. Unfortunately I found it in the documented...
Nice one. Yeah, its pretty cool when you see stuff just stuck away for years suddenly appear, huh?
Nice owl. I had to look it over closely since they always make me nervous when its an O and not a theta, (look at Bing's coin, see the mark in the...
If you had an attribution, it could add significantly to the value sir. I would think it might be worth at least some time Googling. :) Like I...
I view it more as a symptom of China's purchasing power. I own shares in a large iron ore miner, and from what I have read China is simply...
You will get through it. Just try to not go crazy being an "adult". I had friends running up their student loans, taking out credit cards, etc...
Interesting items to be sure. Do you have a copy of Quiggins or the other main reference, (sorry I forgot the name)? Maybe search online if you...
Yup. Before the internet, the B&M dealers were talking how mail order was destroying them. Starting a cute little shop on the corner has not been...
Very true. If a piece is not in Quiggins or similar reference, I usually try to not buy them. There is always a huge risk of the item simply being...
I would love to see the faces of these proponents of keeping their own gold if they ever have a security "incident", or when the bill for this...
I think supply is also a factor. The high copper, silver, and gold prices has spurred renewed activity in opening up, expanding, or reopening...
Its a more interesting piece. I have some manilla bracelets, but most of them were much more plain. I dabble in odd and curious money. I have a...
I thought debt was the favorite thing the current generation loved to collect. :)
I always thought it was that GOLD coin collecting was the "hobby of kings", but still point taken. Most coin collecting started during the...
Pod duang, ("bullet coins") are interesting. They are actually silver imitations of cowrie shells. I found them more interesing when I didn't own...
Thanks for the warnings Jim. I know gems are an area I refuse to tread. For the gold, I know the owners of a number of shops, (personal...
While I appreciate Dave's wish for nice coins again, I agree the mint cannot even strike high relief COLLECTOR coins. A lot relief buffalo like...
I agree fakes could kill it, and I am more pessimistic than you. What about high quality fake slabs? I think that is more of a danger. Since a lot...
