Yes, eBay is taking the hit on bookkeeping for tax collection. My concern is that even eBay will have a hard time getting it right. How will they...
Is anybody else worried about authenticity? I'm not liking the letters in STATES, nor the denticles on either face. :(
OK, I can absolutely see your technical and net grades there. I might even have some similar examples myself, although nothing so valuable. Edit:...
As I'm sure most people would -- but I like having the option of buying locally, and the effective tax advantage on online sales (since most...
For that matter, if you're looking for a compact numismatic silver stash, I guess slick Barbers or SLQs would fit the bill. I'm pretty sure I've...

[MEDIA] FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! ...at least, I've seen that sort of damage after exposing a copper cent to high heat. The copper oxidizes in thick...

...still waiting for the other shoe to drop here...?
I have a feeling I would regret selling them. I think they'll stay for now.
Oh, man, those first four bring back memories. Mine are probably still in a closet in Dad's house -- but after years of play (including in...
