That's a good way to saddle your heirs with things that you bought unwisely. I'd never think of putting that constraint on my family for, say, the...
Oh, look, there was another up-tick in the ratio. How often do you check it, or do you have an automated process to post "I told you so" here...
The individual coins are still plentiful in change at face value. If you aren't willing to hang onto them for decades, I'm not sure I can...
Most wear-resistant metal alloy in the world engineered at Sandia National Laboratories Yeah, it's 90% platinum and 10% gold, but it sounds like...
That's a heck of a find! Congratulations!
Is that shorthand under the description?
Huh. I would've recommended the exact opposite -- if you shoot a dark coin on a white surface, cameras will tend to underexpose the coin (making...
Hey, I resemble that remark! Sometimes.
I'm not a paper collector, but isn't it fairly common for star notes to be issued as an entire strap of consecutive serials? Was it different for...
Ah. So, you see no difference between "return unacceptable coins back to the person putting them in" and "confiscate unacceptable coins without...
"Sock trick"? I hope you're not thinking of blocking the reject slot and then collecting coins that get stuck. I'm pretty sure that is...
I've had various dealers tell me that halves go for a bit more of a premium than quarters, which in turn get more than dimes. But good luck...
Oh, no, that's probably not a good idea at all. Most paper contains sulfur compounds, which will discolor almost any coin over time. If you have...
I'm not sure anyone has a foolproof way to do it for the very long term. If I didn't detest Zincolns, here's what I'd do: 1) Find a workspace...
Perhaps that's true today, but the price of PV panels is continuing to plummet. The price of thermal generation equipment, and tracking mechanisms...
Good catch!
Damage. Think about how the coins are struck. Try to imagine how something like this could have happened during striking. I can't. But I can...
If you'd asked my opinion first, you probably wouldn't have bought them at that price... ...because I would've already snatched them. ;) They're...
Good golly! I hadn't checked today's price action until just now. :eek: Now, I hope it stays low long enough for folks to start capitulating and...
I think you're right about our point of disagreement. To me, "went into circulation" meant they were spent, not just released from the Mint. I...
Separate names with a comma.
