Every show I've attended has had free admission. I know it's different for some - our local rock and gem shows apparently charge admission. Not...
More from the same lot. I'm remembering that this was after eBay announced the policy change banning copy coins, but before they implemented it....
Oh, look what I found on the shelf over my desk! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This came out of some random eBay lot ten years or so ago. Looks like...
Nothing here yet, although my cash transactions are few and far between these days...
I think that date in that condition is still a good bit nicer than scrap. Just not enough to justify the expense of grading, especially if there's...
At $17 melt value, that silver quarter might still get you a comic book, candy bar, fountain drink, and change. (Not sure; it's been a long time...

Yep, the truth is out there. It's just always waaaay at the back of the shelf behind all of the axe-grinders, True Believers, "just asking...
If I ever clear off enough space to take up coin photography again, I'll want to give the different-color-temperature thing a try. I think I...
Kitco isn't showing any trades today higher than $94.60 or so. Still. I can't believe we're looking at over three dollars a gram for silver.
It seems like the highest new highs often come during Asian/overseas trading. I expect it to get knocked back down a bit when American markets...
I can't find a hint of color in the NGC photos. Now I'm wondering if the seller actually uses gel filters, or maybe multiple lights with different...
Seems like most of our car-racing deaths around here have featured homegrown talent. The only Venezuelan immigrant who's attracted my attention...
