I spend intentionally some oddball coins like ikes and SBA's, but the "worst" thing I do is salt US dig sites with ancient roman coins. :)
Lehigh! Glad to see you here sir, even if you "aren't posting". I wish you could change your mind, as I miss your posts. To Epi-Hunter, you will...
But don't you find it an incredible conflict of interest? To tie the amount charged for grading to the grade assigned? This is the same conflict...
Very true sir. Reminisce and kick your own behind for not buying more. :) For new collectors, though, these are the "gold old days" that you...
Again, if you believe printed currency matters, then I am sorry sir but I do not believe you understand the true nature of what a US dollar is....
Thanks for the link. Nice little writeup. Sphinx is a good dealer, their coins are fine. I have many coins with Sphinx holders, I just have never...
If you do not understnad that US Dollars is much MUCH larger than FRN's, and how FRN's are a tiny fraction of US Dollars around the world, then I...

I would make friends with a dealer then, or offer to pay him for his trouble and send them in under his account. If you wish to send this many...
Why do you assume, "Debt is nothing more than a future claim on labor"? Where did that come from? That is the basis of that argument, and its a...
I understand the thought, but to me usually the best time to collect something is NOW. If I had worried 8 years ago how the deals I could get then...
I agree its not unusual. My funniest story is I bought some books from Amazon.co.uk, (tip, not all Amazon's have the same price for books, UK...
Very true. The Pawn Stars building is in a shadier part of the north strip. I heard also they weren't doing the greatest until the show. You go in...
The one thing that has always puzzled me with posts about the evil CME is why does no one ever report when leverage ratios get raised back up. So...
My guess would be something produced in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII. Private issued medal. Chris
I doubt if it was called a prutah. That denomination really only existed in Judea. Petra was close, but I doubt they shared this denomination. To...
Separate names with a comma.
