I got a chuckle out of the title when I saw this. :D Like airing out the dirty laundry! Nah, they are pretty decent coins. I don't know...
It's a bag toned Morgan. If you study up on the history of Morgan dollars you will find that the production of them was government mandated,...
You make a good point. IMO, the 2006-S Old S.F. mint $5 gold in MS is a steal. Mintage is around 17k. It's a gorgeous coin and a worthy...
On a side note, two books I would highly recommend to you would be: "The ANA 6th Edition" which is entirely about grading U.S. coins. Not...
It's good that you have a copy of the Red book coming. Everybody from beginners to experts will consult that book from time to time for various...
Same here. If you can't take the time to re-read an auction for basic spelling errors, it's pretty sad. It just looks sloppy. Although it...
I didn't care for the article. Who is it speaking to? Is it supposed to be speaking to every coin collector? What's 'foolish' is to believe...

Some great advice here. IMO, depending on how low it goes, if you want it take a chance. 7 day return policy. People may bid it up too high...
:goof: Now lets think about this. I may not have tried selling an entire collection of anything but I've seen evidence of how hard it can be,...
That was a good story. I'll give you credit on that one. I agree, many people simply have no idea about the significance of mintmarks or where...
I can give you that.......... if you're meeting someone in person and are able to really see the situation. But when you're buying from some...
One point from another thread that is pretty unbelievable..... "Which means if it was theoretically possible to do, you could throw EVERY...
I suppose we could all be upbeat with each other about our chances of winning the lottery too. Not much different. My only problem is when...
Excellent observation. Although I think there's too many variables in your last statement. "Very valuable coins" as you put it that, (as I...
Well, no matter what (and this may seem like a very obvious and basic statement), I think the more that is paid for a coin or anything, the...
I heard about this. It's a pipe dream though. There's not enough time to get anything done in the next 29 days. Not to mention that congress...
