Only problem with TIPS is that the US Government inherently underreports inflation, and this reported number is built into TIPS returns. So in...
Prepaid debit cards? They are a huge collectible in Europe as they are used as currency there. :)
I guessed 63 too, with the spot on reverse and obverse nicks. I am sure it graded higher.
I agree, sorry I didn't check out the link before. I have always been fascinated with gemstones, but knew just enough to know that I should stay...
Great coin. I always loved these half cents and their large cent counterparts. To me, they are the prettiest cent design in our history.
I would very strongly warn you against this. It will not only be "your" tax bracket, but much likely a higher one since it will be included as...

I don't know them, sorry. Maybe others do. I was hoping you would say Frank Robinson, CNG, Berk, Pegasus, etc. lol. In ancients the dealer is...

I see nothing wrong with the coin based on photos. I would never pay that kind of money unless it was a good dealer which I assume it is. Did it...
Nice colors, but man the strike. I hate to be a jerk but this is what is called a 65 nowadays? I mean both sides are weak, I thought TPG'ers were...
In contrast to the OP, I see many more collectors enter the hobby due to the internet. I know I lost a lot of interest but then when I was able to...
No guarantee but they sure have a lot longer and better track record than anything else. As for might as well collect the 70's, well people...
