Ft Knox is meaningless. Why would the government risk having it empty when the bad publicity is worth a lot more than this small amount of money...
I agree its not kosher, (sorry for the pun). I have seen similar items that were attached to a biblical coin book a few years back. Not really...
Nice find. I cannot tell you how many 16s's I have seen in 16d holders in albums I have bought over the years. There is always the temptation to...
Good point sir, and it may also show people who small and exclusive the little club is amongst major dealers, and how its helpful to have...
What the weight and metal right on the 57d? If they are faking, why not fake the planchet too? I agree, though, that $.03 is getting extremely...

Good advice Hamhawk, advice I should follow more myself. Just remember, there is no stupid questions, and if someone insults you or whatever...
That is extremely low. Even today, supermarkets get maybe 30% on food on the low end, and cannot keep the lights on at those margins. That is why...
I assign a -$10 crack out fee to any coin I may buy that is slabbed. The largest ancient firm does the same, internally they pay less for any...
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Sorry all I see is flat, MD style doubling myself.
I am surprised this thread is still alive as well. Having said that, I agree 100% with this post. Any professional handling funds in such a...
"Factually sound" is the key word here sir. I know you are pulling this data from sources and not making it up, but as Collect1966 points out,...
