Coins from countries that don't exist anymore? Does Sassanid Persia, hepthalites, sogdians, ancient Rome, Parthia, Carthage, etc count? If not,...
I agree, or horribly dinged up. To tell the difference without a weight it would be best to see it in hand. However, since it was found with...
My favorite B&M shop is nearly identical. I love surly old dealers. They will tell you the truth, how the market works, what is a good deal...
I understand sir, just throwing that out there for others. I just wanted everyone to know there ARE still unslabbed coins out there that are very...
I would say humid climate in an older album. I have personally taken out Peace dollars, franklins, and other coins from similar albums looking...

You ever try a good coin show Inflexion? I found, (when PM was down and I was in a mood to buy more), last summer that the cheapest source by far...
I could understand portfolio rebalancing, but not by hedge funds. Why would they? I would say more likely by mutual funds getting money into the...
Just like the deflation there is making life miserable on young people who need to borrow? Sorry man, either is bad, and I would lean towards...

Doesn't mean a thing really. There are so many exceptions to that common thought as to render it pretty meaningless. Your logic is correct, yet...
I doubt there only that few 1832's. I own three myself. Probably one of the most common half cents out there, all of mine are AU+. I probably...
