So do you believe the oil is removing the green toning/residue? I don't have a problem with that at all. Sorry if I seem squeamish, its just when...
The acetone ok, but my question sir is how long the oil will last? If its not permanent like the acetone dip taking the contamination away, what...
Very true, and there are so many permutations of this that makes 90% of people unclassifiable. An acquaintance of mine was semi-organized. He kept...
The only thing I could say is don't try to find circulated wheats or 1950's nickels to save for her. If holding for a long time, only put aside BU...
I like the article, thank you. I think it highlights well the extremes. To me, Doug Smith is a collector. He studies every coin he acquires, he...
Really cool, thanks for sharing these. I had never heard of Ajman, and I usually know geography pretty well.
Also after the market dropped and continued dropping, the pay price of dealers was much lower that today as a percent of spot. There were loads of...
But just to play devil's advocate, I believe most here would not be holding Comex receipts, but physical PM. Jeff's comments I agree with,...

:) I tried to PM you about it man like 6 hours ago but it says your PM Inbox is full. Sorry.
I bet a few on this board could have more definite positions if they post, (not that Doug is not an expert in many things). If I were you, I would...
Exactly, that is the great hypocrisy. I got so mad hearing about Greece that I called all of my 3 Congressmen again. The Senators in MN are...
Very true, and I think some of these are cupped due to die size variance more than anything, I should have said cupped shaped coins on my list....
Eh, I somewhat agree with CCmint. Not my top 3, maybe not top ten, but definitely nowhere near 1800 and 1920's coins. I just hate having a simple...
I agree. Lincolns have been the subject of chemistry experiments, "proofing" of industrial plating equipment, and the like for decades. This coin...
Look at the edge. See how there appears to be a horizontal band on it? It appears to me the edges were filed smooth, but the trace of the casting...
