I don't even have one. But ask your bank this question - suppose there is a fire. The contents of my box are destroyed. I had $50,000 in cash in...
Eye - your inexperience and ignorance is showing as plain as day in this thread. I too think that you owe the folks at Teletrade an apology. Every...
Probably not. The point where the majority of older, gradeable coins had already been slabbed was reached some time ago. The accuracy of this...
jello - it's important to understand something. Even though someone has had a coin in their possession for 50 or even a 100 years and they know...

I was a coin collector for basically my entire life, but I never looked through my change after 1967 because I did not collect circulated coins...
Quite possibly, but it depends on what the rest of the coin looks like. Would you mind posting a pic of the entire coin Doug, both sides. I'd...
