I certainly wouldn't judge a $20K coin from cell-phone images, but the printing on that SLQ's label looks pretty rough and uneven to me, and I...
Oh, man, I would love to see them use the SLQ pattern with the dolphins, or any of the WL or Mercury patterns.
5 min to I-40, 3 1/2 hours to Asheville, 5 min to the park. It's a bit tempting, but I hate driving. Is there any special designation on the...
Civil forfeiture is a separate issue, one that no paper trail or righteous life can protect you from. But do you really think that $5000 in cash...
It's hard to be 100% certain from the photo, but it certainly looks to me like it has the "tail" on the 4 and the distortion around the left side...
I am ever mindful of my venue. I figured a reader who needed to be protected from the phrasing you imagine wouldn't be able to infer it. All the...
I followed your link, but I can't possibly be reading the same document you are. The $1000 limit is for currency exchange. The $3000 limit is...
I'm interested in maintaining my so-far reasonably clean record here. I'm a bit confused as to how I could have made this observation...
Good man. I'm interested in coins, not wood and velvet. If I want a fancy box, I'll go to a fancy-box specialist.
I got the chart from goldprice.org -- you can still see their watermark faintly. The red and green annotations are mine.
Most of the discussions I read indicate that when the Fed raises rates, interest-bearing instruments will become more attractive, and money will...
Or, if you're just bumbling along like I do, "don't gamble more than you can afford to lose". :)
It's not beautiful to me, but apparently this is a thing that really exists. They're even listed at APMEX, although they're out of stock and...
That's the same thing I find myself doing -- even though I should know better. The problem is that you can't identify a dip or a crest except in...
My inability to answer that question is one of the reasons that I was so reluctant to resume selling on eBay again. Why doesn't the whole system...
Yup. I bid on something similar, but watched the tracking on the package until it arrived in California -- close, but wrong coast. I pointed out...
...unless, of course, you're the blissfully conscience-free dealer or pawnshop or jewelry store making that offer. It is sad to think of a...
They protected me when I bought a double eagle and received a novelty paperweight. With tracking.
Read that post, and compare its tone to the ones getting "mod-ripped". On this forum, for better or for worse, tone matters.
Indeed. I've bid on a few such auctions. They helped increase my confidence in eBay's Buyer Protection, but they didn't add to my collection.
