The situation was it was at the show with an attached parking garage, (you may know the one). It was Sunday afternoon, not a lot of cars there. I...
1936 all over again Treehugger? That year more than anything else is what killed the traditional commemorative program. I don't see it AS bad...
I invest in myself, so I buy coins that lead me to further my knowledge. If I wished to buy coins just for potential price appreciation, I...
I would buy one of those. ;)

Great job Bill. I will admit I am pretty hopeless with most greek bronzes, especially if I don't have Plant nearby to help me. Even with that...
Lol thanks. I am still smiling and laughing at the thought of someone all in a huff because they took a college class last year so of course they...

You very well could be right about these sir. My only experience is with modern nickel plating, not these cents in particular. That is all I am...

Sorry, I don't view the mods here as "strong arms". Mods need to enforce forum rules, since they are put in place to facilitate discussion. I am...
"Fakes" is a word with many meanings in this hobby. If you are talking about modern reproductions just to fill an expensive hole, yes there is...
