I would agree with 66 if that is toning across the steps, but even if toning would say not full steps. I think it would depend on whether it was...
While I appreciated the fact we had a coin series not about dead presidents, this series was nearly as bad. I cannot help to think there were 40...
Especially after the last few weeks. :(
So do I. I love his point. The point being that books are more permanent, and as such usually have editorial control, fact finding, and peer...
Well the copper producers are saying this extra activity where funds can flow in and out quickly on a small portion of the physical quantity will...
Yeah it is. Or reading what coins were selling for in coin shows in the 20's. I remember reading a coin dealer writing down prices from a show I...
He may have been telling the truth. To truly and perfectly locate a mint location would be the crowning achievement of many writers, as that feat...

I have an excuse for being pessimistic, I am an accountant. However, I believe you will limit the downside to (935). Here is to hoping I am...
I would never dare to say you weren't Rigo. :) Doug had a great example, himself. Number of coins owned never makes anyone an expert, it simply...
Get rid of the tone? Easy, give them a quick dip. It has worked for decades. Then put them in an airtight holder. OTOH, maybe just go to the...
Btw, Doug said these can be found. If anyone ever wishes to know resources to check let me know. I know all US auction houses of numismatic books....
Yeah. I would consider all of the members of TCACC numismatists since they all spend long hours studying ancient coins. A dealer very well can...
