Well I used to be responsible for doing the remittances of contents of SDB and monies in 20 states for a nationwide bank. All of the States I...
If a bank closes, there is no affect on ownership of SDB. No creditor can take a lean on its contents, as the bank never had any legal interest in...
I would have guessed yes to the 32, but no to the 09. I thought the 09 looked fine. Remember these I believe were made from different sources of...
Looks 100% NT to me as well. Looks just like what "original' coins looked like in the 80's coming out of old collections. If any TPG says...
I would give up the coins. I love my coins, but I simply love knowledge more. Without the history and coin reference books all the coins are...
Be careful to overgeneralize. I know a lot of tellers are young kids, but I knew a teller who was married to a coin dealer and she could tell...

The rays led to premature cracking of the dies. Nickel is a very hard metal, and that extra design element was just destroying dies. All shields...
I understand Doug, and you are exactly right. I was just asking if it was a case that "proof" was created for the same reason artist proofs are...
I expected a little hate on Barbers and SL coinage, (though no one has mentioned that one yet). These are usually because they are mostly found...
Yes, but with the uncertainty out there, I believe that could be a high risk play today, too risky for my blood. In more normal markets I might...
My opinion would be that this is an illustration of two things. One, silver has industrial applications and most other industrial materials are...
Just to clarify, Numislit on Ebay and Vcoins is Charles Davis, a very nice dealer I also buy from. Numislit on the web is Kolbe and Fanning, also...
