Sorry I didn't see you or Riff Hiddendragon. I was there most of the day. For my story, I bought three books, (new Hendin, new Album, and a book...
Well I will be there all day tomorrow. If anyone else shows up, I am the bigger guy in a red Twins t-shirt. Stop and say hi! Chris
Pretty poor condition. Byzantines even in the best condition need understanding of the nature of the art. Their art was intentionally...
Sir, of course it is not an obligation. Your brother was a kind man, considerate, had a great sense of humor, and we really are all saddened by...
I agree. I am guessing the color will deteriorate badly if the chemical is left on. Thankfully it is a junk silver date, but thanks again Lehigh...

Is a premium of 20% really the "best way to invest in gold"? I would prefer a smaller premium for my gold purchases. What makes them "the best...
Agreed. My bust dollars don't look anything like your 1798 example Detecto. That coin looks like it had major damage and was dipped to death to...
Fair points sir, I just dislike the notion of them knowing they keep coins deposited. I don't think its right. Anything that the machine does not...
Its a reproduction, not an authentic coin. Even with the fuzzy picture I can tell its trying to imitate an ancient coin, but fails on multiple...
I agree NOS 100%. While Detecto did get riled up in his posts, I was reading this one with interest, (well at least the Coinstar part), and also...
