Nope. The terms apply to older coins as well as moderns. Gold and silver as well as copper.
Just because you've been lucky so far that doesn't mean it's just fine. And if somebody wants to follow you home and not let you know they are -...
That still doesn't make it a good idea. It's pretty easy for somebody to follow you home. If you want to advertise on-line then use the areas...
Nobody disputes that Mike. But you need books to even get started. I think Ken Bressett said it best - (paraphrasing) Anybody can learn to...
