Lol, seriously? I was laughing pretty hard until I read further and saw you are serious. "Why don't we see that same level of opposition espoused...
Yes, as a matter of fact I do know Gresham's law, do you? It states bad money drives out good. For that to even be applicable, at some point in...
Really? Show me how the government issued the $50 at face value but hoarding of it drive it from circulation. Your argument is a fallacy since you...
I have no idea how I would remember. I remember a lot of my "better" coins, but there is simply no way. Sometimes I just dig through piles and...

Well, um, yeah that is not right, not even close. ;)
Why does it suck? It just goes through probate, no big deal unless you have a large estate and then owe taxes on it. If its that large of an...
Well I was especially talking about Doug's with a circle I would love to have an example of. The first coin I was assuming they were file marks on...
