"obligate"? I do not think that word means what you think it means. "absent"? Last I checked, CoinTalk was up, and had been up almost non-stop...
And yet when you don't have a steady stream of newcomers, people start bemoaning The Death Of The Hobby. ;)
Sure, why not? They seem perfectly competent when dealing with documentation from sellers. :rolleyes:
Yep. Now, if only eBay charged FVF on only your profit, and not the entire selling price... :rolleyes:
I think your local coin shop misunderstood you. The most common centennial proof sets just have the silver coins, and yeah, they aren't really in...
This was back around 2012 or so. There were lots of people trying to pull lots of things.
