I went back to the Raleigh show today, and instead of just dumping junk silver as I usually do, I took a few nicer coins to offer. I'd spoken to a...
I'll catch it on the news video. What on Earth are they thinking? "The enthusiasm around the HOF release was great, but what we really need to...
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent (which, in 1909, commemorated the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth), the Mint issued...
