Extremely sad to hear. Like many, I didn't know him personally, but he seemed like a good guy.
The highest graded coin that I have is a 1942 D Mercury - NGC MS 67 FB with a CAC green beaner. This type vaulted me into coin collecting at a...
Interesting thread - my first ever thread from September 2008 in the Introductions forum....
I'm one of those people that never have any cash. I've lived that way for years now. It happened organically, I didn't plan it. I just realized...
