Not disagreeing they buy coins from diggers, but the "diggers" are not grave robbing. They simply dig where they believe there may have been human...
Depends on what you mean by "grave robbing". I am always careful of that term since archeologists, (many/most of which hate coin collectors), love...
Yeah, its really lucky for us most thieves aren't very bright. There are bright ones out there, but they aren't very famous since they don't get...
I guess I was not understanding that you are infering that a gold standard will also mean a complete dismantling of IRS information reporting...
But does it? Again, what would my 1914d cent that was made by others, (I don't know who), than the US mint? What is this object called? Are you...
Indeed good information. I think this will bite them in the rear, since it will make all of their products from here on out less valuable if...
I am not beating you up over anything. So you say information reporting to prove people are receiving income will stop because we have a gold...
Are you sure you are not cofusing the verb to counterfeit with the noun, a counterfeit? Under your definition, none of the coins in my "black...

This comes from another thread, but its unfair to post this on that thread so I am continuing it here. I am honestly interested in people's...
I like the sea turtle one, that is pretty cool. I should google Burke. :)
That would have been my second one. Not a bad guess. :)
Couple of us it seems. :) I posted a thread in the ancient section asking this a coupel of weeks back. We should all have a CT lunch.
Great information. Its unfortunate that these do sit in a depression, since "black gunk" around a mm is usually a telltale warning, but these...
He was a true numismatic pioneer. RIP sir.
Man, impressive ID. I got Severus from the portrait, but other than that I had nothing. :)
I think your timing is off. I would credit a lot of the runup in the S&P in the 80's to 401k's, but not necessarily the tech boom. Good point...
But the point is, they already try to do that, but much of their expenses in that area are dictated to them. They cannot control them. Also, they...
