I am sure someone would, but unless you knew the person there would still be a chance it would be broken up. GREAT idea about grandchildren. :)
You are probably right. You know much more about them than I. I was guessing how many were looked at now, and I was pretty sure I was wrong but...

Back in the older days dealers used to look at 6 coins the 1909-1940 boards. The second board went straight into the bulk pile. It may be higher...
Great thread, another of many reasons to hate slabs. Too few collectors pay attention to this side, and neither do forgers, which is why edging...
I don't think its a terrible idea to hoard these cents. Yes, there is a law on the books right now making it illegal to melt them, but that law...
Doug, I am serious about ERIC II. Has Ras talked about an ERIC III or possibly putting ERIC II on the web someday? I would just like to know if...

Sometimes they are what they say they are, though they are ALWAYS picked over in the fields at the very least. Most of the time on Ebay they are...
Lol, just wrote about Frank's book on the "5 questions" thread. I could also write about many more, including the companion volumes Greek Coins...
I believe this brand is commonly carried in office supply stores. I know I have bought them, just cannot remember officemax, office depot or...
I would say "rarity" is a function of demand versus available supply. Mintage can be deceiving. What is more deceiving is demand. US coinage has...
I was planning to. I was just illustrating the point SOMEONE has to pay authors for their time, and that someone is the purchasers of their books....
I know that Krispy, but in other countries ALL gold has been seized before. That is what I was referring to, not just what was seized in 1933. I...
Free is always nice, but of course SOMEONE must pay for it. If it is an act of love like Doug's website then he pays, out of his devotion to our...
