Really? I would not say they had the most interesting history myself. If you incorporate all of the history regarding the silver market during...
It does not hurt, it DESTROYS it. There are some collectors of countermarks, but not many and SM is pretty generic. However, the underlying coin...
Just an aside, the indians who sold Manhattan never lived there, so all of the beads and trinkets they got were for free! Free is always good no...
But was the weight correct? Yes, they were faked extensively, (from my readings, I believe it is Kahn), but those fakes back then weren't to fool...
My only point on that would be why, (when they were worth more), were higher denomination bills ok before electronic transactions could be...
Btw sir grat to have you back on the board again! Feel free to correct me anytime. Sometimes you learn best when someone calls you out on an...

I would suggest sir to take $100 exclusively if you plan on converting to the local currency, as smaller bills get discounted. If you will be...
Is it? I know it might sound paranoid, but the logic is sound. If you are willing to accept the government has an absolute right to dictate what...
I view it not as a price to pay, but an incredible amount of free interest we earn each year. This is an important asset that current...
But the discussion sure is fun, is it not? :)
