Yes indeed. And Heritage will sue to protect its copyrights. See link. Cal Link:...
Let's see. You're writing a book that will expose errors of TPGs, but you're asking their permission. Good chance they'll say no regardless of...
You might be able to frame coin images from another website. For those who aren't familiar with framing, the image per se is never really on the...
Doug, If you look at my posts on this thread, the only area where I'm skeptical of dealer-to-dealer being the commonest trading mode is for...
I still plan to gather some data on auction collector-versus-dealer sales at Long Beach. However, I just stumbled on a report of high-end coins...
Doug, How about the average age of those who have posted at least once within the last year? Any data on that? Participation, even at a low...
