Proof singles are always expensive the year they are released. Lots of collectors want to buy them to update their sets. I always thought singles...
I taught Econ 401 and 402 sir, I am fully versed in inflationary and deflationary theories. Deflation destroys economies, hyperinflation destroys...
From history, either the data set from 1904 to present or the 1923 to present data sets. Take your pick, they are both accepted data sets for...
Is that true of items like cents with such a microscopic layer of copper? I would think since the copper is so thin, and zinc so mallable that the...
Weird. I hate to say it, since I know it made for horrible press, but I don't think they should have been banned. I agree with the writer of the...
Lol, yeah. 220th anniversary of the mint, that is a number routinely celebrated as an anniversary, huh?
It sure is if that .02 would have been put in safe bonds over the years. What people need to "get over" is the idea that a $5 bill will keep...
IDK about that. I buy a lot of coins based on looks, and I simply find silver to be a more beautiful substance to make a coin out of than...

The hard part about something like this is it is very possible for someone to chemically remove the copper layer after the fact. Its a matter of...
Good links, thanks. I read the WSJ commentary before, but I heartily agree with it. Best use of gold is as a long term hedge, and personally I...

Yeah, I have almost never seen a decent article in a regular newspaper about ancient coins. They always get a major aspect of it wrong. I...
I will go with USA and 39. :)
Just do what I do, own an AK with 4 30 round clips. Bayonet is there in case it really gets interesting.
If it was supposed to have the S mintmark, then it would have been a proof. On that date the San Francisco mint only made proofs. Therefor, it...
As usual, Conder is right. Here is a link where they have a B-1, http://www.dickosburn.com/1834-capped-bust-quarter-xf45.html It shows the...
I was wrong, it is Browning, not Brown, for CBQ's. I believe Valentine did the dimes and half dimes.
Looking closer, I don't like the beak hook and placement of air hole on the beak. They are not very similar at all. Is anyone here a CBQ...
