I hope sir you would not take any such criticism personally. I am sure that was not the intent of even those who expressed strong opinions on some...
No one is stopping anyone from posting any of his other medals Krispy. I have never seen any kind of ban on creating a new post showcasing an...
Personally, I would buy problem free scarce issue VF-XF gold issues. Morgans can be found in abundance usually, but you need time to actually find...
QFT There really should be a 6 month probationary period before you are allowed to buy any coins. In that 6 months you would have to...
I always wondered what the "leading numismatic quote' was, then I think I found the answer. I won't name the company, but they sell primarily to...
Good point. I think he did better than people gave him credit for. His one greatest accomplishment in my mind, though, appointing Trajan as...
