This was well stated. Not saying you couldn't be the exception but I'd guess for the most part, this statement holds true. This topic is a well...
There, I fixed it for you and it's even more ironic.
I don't know what you're getting at but I think the commemoratives available from the US mint are abundant and for the most part pretty sweet. I...
My opinion is that the government has far bigger problems to worry about than this old story and should let it go. Just another case of them...
So sulfide ions are the main threat for toning coins? The only threat? Does a cent attract anything/everything else that could be present? I'm...
That is very interesting. But I'd like to know how you know this works the way you think. I see two possibilities. Either the offending gas...
lol Yep, that's what it's all about. I'm starting to feel old because I didn't have the internet available when I was a kid! I grew up in...
I've cracked a few out for albums. Nothing I've regretted. It's not so bad if you crack out the label too and tape it into the album, behind...

You gave him more time than I would have. Although I know what it's like to come back for the sake of a desirable coin, despite the jerk selling it.
Here is a thread I started Jan. 09 about Morgan dollar populations and the Pittman act which melted millions of them down to be sent over-seas,...
These look really nice. I never knew they existed. I love trains too! What's the series called?
Great point. From what I've read, almost every coin the US mint has come out with from the 18th century on, was initially hated by the public....
Yeah I've read several times that they normally only grade by eye and will occasionally use a 5x. Which kind of makes sense. You have to draw...
Wow! I think it's pretty cool. Who knows if it's AT or NT. I'm surprised the dealer didn't put it on ebay. You should list it on ebay with...
Zeiss is definitely high end optics. They make rifle scopes worth 2-3k and up. Also high end binoculars. I bought one of these along...
Really cool. Wish I could see the pic. It won't open on my computer. If you plan to use forums much and post pics, the best thing you could do...
Separate names with a comma.
