:) Never take me away from ancients. I used to be a SL and CB half collector pretty serious, and collected most other US series. The only moderns...
Others can comment better, but generally the toning reaction only occurs in a certain environment. Take that environment away and the reaction...
I never meant to offend you or Lehigh or others with my post sir, and I hope you do not take it that way. The OP asked a question, and I just gave...
Not many videos I am aware of man. I basically get through them by whatever I happen to be interested in I read about. Books are boring if you...
Its a good point. People need to know where to get books. If anyone ever has a question please post or PM me. Trust me, i know most sources both...
So have you been to Wat Po Krispy? Its one of my favorites in Bangkok. I have to admit, though, that the Jade Buddha is my favorite. I don't know...
Sorry, but my personal opinion is prices are not reproducible, no standardization or really even a good way to estimate value, I find them to be a...
Jason, I know you are just starting out but want to be serious some day. I would especially caution you that continuing to do so will not end well...

But these are laws to prosecute people with. Therefor, it has to be describing the ACT that could be PUNISHABLE. Big difference between that and...
Very true. To the OP, I know its common to compare things versus melt in this hobby, but a proof coin has a lot of extra expenses associated...
Doug and I are in the running for our libraries. :) I know I am an outlier, and many years spend more on books than coins. However, that is...
Eh, still a decent discussion on how to distiguish impaired proofs. :) Maybe he will follow up some time in the future. If not, no harm done.
Yeah, ok you got me. I thought 1968 and the new proof series was when cameo was first started intentionally. My bad. Thanks for the...
Its just like Randy's picture. They are cheap fakes massed produced even today and sold in tourist areas. Thankfully, every single part of the...
I agree. The debt situation is not good, we all agree, but to use scare tactics like quoting dollars as if they are absolute numbers, rather than...
Well, I am aware of coins going down to a grade of Fine, and being over 100 years old, still being certified as proof pieces. Many times there may...
