If you make it so people cannot easily carry around large amounts of cash, then they have to run their transactions through electronic means,...
I still own PM because I was too lazy to sell. J/k, no matter what price they will always be a part of my portfolio. Its just what percentage...
It truly is hard sir, and my heart goes out to you in this time. I know I never want to go through that again. Hopefully its over soon and you...
Lots of interesting debate. Myviewpoint would be as 19lyds, everyone in this country should participate in saving money. Using coins for $1 and $2...
I simply believe the hype is due to the price movement of the 20th anniversary set Phil. Myself, I could care less except that I wish to put away...
Fair point sir, yet they can go to nearly zero. Not saying it will happen again, but $4 silver if you had bought in 1979 at $25 and factoring in...
Be careful guys, ok? What this little, "sell to a friend" thing is fraud on the court. The court will decide what is a fair distribution, and...
I think its great AdamL posted a contest. I read it when he first posted it, but unfortunately I would rather watch whales mate or paint dry, (or...
You know Redwin, I like you. You like your coin, and that is great. You are correct knowledge is key to knowing what you have and enjoying this...

One suggestion Dave would be to go get distilled water and rinse it in that. Tap water has chlorine in it, and it can attack the copper. While...
Sorry to hear it Coinics. I have been there man, many of us have. Luckily I kept the coins, (though she got about 10 times the amount in cash)....
Lol, surprisingly, that many coins does not take up much room. I am lucky I am a hoarder of coins, or else my house would be in rough shape. :)...
As Mark and Guy say, no rush. I love traveling down an unexplored road. Coin collecting should be about the journey, not the destination....
Thanks Lucy. I am glad I could help. I think if you start paying attention to the dates, and looking up why people choose them, you will see more...
I understand I had brought up 1980, but also used longer time frames. They work both ways, and everyone on this board knows the 1980 date for PM,...
Its also market specific. Us ancient collectors are also truly against the act. In fact, not much more in life gives me more pleasure that...
Chris, Thanks for going through the trouble. I will stand corrected, (of course, its not the first time :)) To the OP, I believe we are...
