My favorite site for coin news? You're soaking in it. :)
That... doesn't make any sense at all. You might as well say "I'm going to buy gold by the gram instead of the ounce, because for every $1/gram...
Yeah, having people underestimate you can be bad for the ego, but it can be great for negotiation.
Platinum is denser (and therefore more "portable and easy to hide") than gold.
Where do I hide my collection? Under the sink, behind all the paper towels that have been used once or twice, but are still clean enough to use...
Silver has "sky rocketed" twice in the last 200 years or so -- once around 1980, and once around 2010. There was a long, gradual uptrend for the...
So... you're saying that you would only purchase 40% Kennedy halves at 58 cents apiece or less, but you're qualifying that statement by saying...
I was going to say "there's no way someone could be capable of reading coin references and still be this terrible at spelling", but I suppose I...
I've noticed the same thing -- usually at intersections. I think I see more nickels and dimes than cents at this point, and even the occasional...
I'm not fond of Barber's Liberty designs, but they've grown on me. Dead presidents have not. The Barber halves are an interesting challenge, too,...
SLQs are a nice design; not my favorite, but probably my favorite quarter. (The competition doesn't amount to much, except for the very early...
I voted Barber here, much to my own surprise. I like the Mercury design better, but there's such a rich range of values and availabilities in this...
"None of the above." (Was actually looking for that option for Lincoln vs. Roosevelt -- dead presidents are boring.)
Hang on -- is that MS or PR?
With that much detail in the headband and leaves, I'd say VF details; can't tell from the images whether it's been cleaned, or whether the hits...
Remember, acid etching tends to preserve and even enhance detail -- that's why we have "acid dated" Buffalo nickels. Sure, nickel is more...
Different yardsticks. You're comparing "what I could get at a show two weeks ago" ($12.60 for three 40% halves) to "today's spot" (12.33 for one...
You know, we do have the technology to do a truly airtight display holder -- every LCD display and every plasma display is "truly airtight"....
Three for one is a bit low -- at the last coin show, dealers were offering something like $11.25 for 90% halves and $4.20 for 40%.
Well, you can be assured that it will be SCARCE/DOUBLE SHARP, just like every other coin this dealer lists. :rolleyes: It would be a good idea to...
Separate names with a comma.
