That has certainly been my experience at local club auctions. However, a few years ago I traveled about 75 miles to attend a local club meeting...
I agree with your comments re coins but also movies. I remember about 18 years ago talking to my son's girlfriend about Dr. Strangelove and of...
Here's a 1838 No Drapery dime. Probably, almost certainly dipped sometime ago. Do I care? No, not at all. And, yes, I am a "micro" type...
It seems to me that the concept of "overpaying" actually only applies to the commodity trade. And, face it, most of the coins we collect fall...
I don't think you're crazy. Auctions can certainly be frustrating and it's particularly so when one finds oneself to be the underbidder...
Here are my three most expensive coins, with regard to what I paid for them. I'm waiting with bated breath to see if our own @johnmilton will...
My Local Coin Club meeting is tonight. One of our members always gives a very comprehensive rundown on the latest US Mint offerings, recent...

That is immensely valuable information. Thanks for posting it. Can you confirm a couple of things? - Avoirdupois weights? - I assume slab...
Agree it is most likely the thick planchet, lettered edge if only due to the relative rarities. The die bulge at MER is part of the early stage...
It's not just you. While I love coin shows, I am finely attuned to efforts to monetize me.
A new coin show was held last week in Tampa, FL. I think it is called the Great American Coin Show or some such. I didn't attend even though I...
I bought the Wizard flat-clinch stapler a few years ago. It has never jammed, 100% reliability on flat-clinching the staple, and is hands-down...
Your coin is absolutely worth much more than mere nostalgia and family connection. The S-9 die variety has a rarity rating of 2 so it's actually...
