Ftm, Desertgem hit it on the head. The old holders have to go, (don't worry they didn't add much value), and you need to clean them with mild soap...
This is why "real" money I spend in European auctions is spent only after I have a rep look the lots over and tell me which ones are worth...
I don't do penny stocks, sorry man. Too easily manipulated and too little public information. I buy NYSE traded issues usually.
Exactly. Every day makes it more sure you will have to fight with PCGS instead.
Just as an aside, regarding Madoff, all of the warning signs were there for whoever wanted to look. His fund shouldn't have been allowed to...
If someone lost "nearly everything" in the latest market correction then they were not diversified. Since no one has a crystal ball that works,...

Well, for non US coin lovers, my favorite drool worthy site, and you can actually buy them, (hate sites with just pretty coins you cannot buy):...
I thought everyone loved toned coins? :)
Anyone who has ever metal detected on an old homestead possibly could have been metal detecting on a graveyard. Back in the day many people were...
Yeah, its just bullion anyway. Do you really care if it tones? I use a couple of desiccant bags in my safe for coins, but bullion I could care...
I would love to hear what Heritage tells you if you try to return this coin. If they say no I will cancel my account there. There is no excuse...
