And yet, the dealer told you and that other customer that it DOES matter, but only for Maples. I think he was lying. I think he'd try the same...
Bang up one of your AGEs or Krugerrands. Have one acquaintance take the banged-up one to the dealer, and another acquaintance take a pristine...
And if your house doesn't catch on fire, anyone else with a fireman's axe can do the same, with no particular rush?
Heck, I'd settle for finding a stack of 100 wrinkly, stained, stinky $100s.
If only that were true for the First Spouse gold issues.

That's the way it works. Powerpoint files aren't HTML, and don't display in the browser unless you've set up something on your machine to let that...
I learned about money as a kid, a long time ago, when cents mattered. It would be really hard for me to throw away a card with a cent still...
Really? I thought in these days of inflation (and the hyperinflation that's been right around the corner for the last, I dunno, fifty years?),...
