Couple of us it seems. :) I posted a thread in the ancient section asking this a coupel of weeks back. We should all have a CT lunch.
Great information. Its unfortunate that these do sit in a depression, since "black gunk" around a mm is usually a telltale warning, but these...
He was a true numismatic pioneer. RIP sir.
Man, impressive ID. I got Severus from the portrait, but other than that I had nothing. :)
I think your timing is off. I would credit a lot of the runup in the S&P in the 80's to 401k's, but not necessarily the tech boom. Good point...
But the point is, they already try to do that, but much of their expenses in that area are dictated to them. They cannot control them. Also, they...
But their budget does depend on commemorative and bullion sales. If they falter, then they go over budget. They are in a tough position, their...

Just a point of clarification and defense of those people sir, (I did not vote). Let me ask you a question. If someone in Bulgaria strikes a...
I guess I disagree slightly sir. First, there have been asset bubbles cycling through the economy forever, its just the tech stock and housing...
Or metal die strikes. Perfectly legitimate answer, and even a little more "foggy".
Really? You are saying asset bubbles are from here on out extinct? Whew, that is a load off my mind then. ;) Btw the housing bubble did not...
I would add to Jim's response its human nature to complain. Ask any expert and they will tell you an unhappy customer will tell at least 10 times...
..or, it could be we are just really tired of discussing any coin with the word HONG KONG on it. ;)
I agree only if coupled with where and how you place it. The best safe in the world is not that good if unbolted in the middle of a room. The...
