Excellent point as well sir. I had forgotten that aspect.
This has been ruled on and thrown out. The tax court has ruled that you cannot take face value of collectible coins and attempt to use the face...
Love the style, truly impressive specimen. Of course, you have to admit that this is no longer a $100 coin today Doug. :) Chris
Effectively this devalued the USD by 70%. Because it now took $35 to buy the same items that it once took $20 to buy it was a big reduction in the...
Bird, why do you want to buy? Collecting? Silver investing? Different answers depending on your interests man. Let us know why you wish to buy...
Of course. I never say I know what is done to a coin once it leaves the mint. I was simply saying if a coin can easily be explained by an after...
I have posted 3 times on Littleton since I have been on this board sir. You can go back and check. Twice I was supporting either moderators or...
I never knew any amount a merchant HAD to accept. Its a common misconception. A merchant can only accept Thai baht if they want to. There is no...
I would have two thoughts to your otherwise excellent review: Finally, the book briefly touches on Dave Crisp’s initial find of unrelated...

Not true sir. They grade fairly and have high expenses advertising to the general public. The general public pays higher due to someone having to...
Kevin, I strongly suggest you buy a Redbook, (found at almost any book store), read it and learn more about coins before buying any. Coins are...
I appreciate your point David. However, to me, any type of coin that can be recreated this way has to be assumed to have been absent extraordinary...
Just another reason to purchase the books to support the hobby, no? :) Sorry just teasing Doug about our disparate love of printed references....
Its an industrial metal. You can buy it near spot, but only for large purchases. Its the same as buying stainless, cold rolled, nickel, etc. These...
I would concur, especially considering the wide spectrum in quality of fakes. The danger of relying on one marker is that, even if it works,...
Well I have cleaned some ancients in my day. I don't see much more detail to be revealed really. I would simply scrape off the dirt on the...
