Yes, i am very familiar with Starr varieties Doug. However, on a whole, this tet is very recognizable, and Very common issues are valued mainly...
I hear you. They are pretty boring if you are around ancients for any length. I own one simply because I got one cheap, (of course).
Well said. If there was a "most likely to start a slab club" ancient coin it would be these. Very popular, very high populations, and most of the...
I will pile on and say just do it. She is young, she will want to touch them, handle them, etc.LET HER. Don't be a "dad" , make her handle with...
I wouldn't say that, but would say if you do not know the coins you should know the dealer. I am not an expert in these per se, but it took me...
Lol, that is right. My aftertax stocks have a beta of over 2. I agree with you Doug sitting on cash is not a great place to be. We just disagree...

Good friend? I have never met the man. I thought everyone here, while posting their opinion, is a knowitall. Who else knows their OPINION...
Me too. Its amazing how much cooler your coins are the more you learn about them. ;)
Lol. Sorry Beef, I love you included ancients, but to label them as a similar grouping with VAM Morgans or Overton numbers struck me as funny....
Nice idea, but those are "flappy". I was thinking a stiff holder like a flip cut in half, but with a zipclose at the top. Above that, paper on...
I think its an age think Doug. We have been around coins so long we naturally understand the cycles in the market, and have a baseline of coins,...
I agree with Collect. Mike, do you have a Redbook of US coins? Its like $12. You really should own one. Open it up, read about all of the cool...
No, we are not. We are saying though that you should move them to better storage devices when you have a chance. Baggies are conventient for...
