Yeah, but what about the person that has everything they need? When somebody wants to buy something from them? Something has to be used as a...
Next stop, NGC! Wow!
A gold or silver standard couldn't possibly ever work again. The coins would have to be so small that it would be impractical. There's just not...
That pretty much sums it up. If I had rolls of 09s I'd sell them to you guys at 3-4x face. They can't be found NOW. At some point, they will...
Forgive me. The historical charts show gold averaged $50/oz from 68-72. That 30 year old $1000 could have purchased 20 oz. of gold at one...
Well, I don't have a kid yet so I don't know what lesson I'd be trying to teach them if I did. I'm sure the theory is that $$ are hard to come by...
If the economy was great, that same coin might cost you 3-400 so I don't know what their beef would be. Be thankful stuff is down. $200 is the...

In another thread today, I mentioned that coining operations officially ceased at the Carson City mint in 1899. And that in August of that year,...
I had UPS leave a box of $200+ worth of aquarium supplies at the wrong house before. The store sent a new box to me and I'm pretty sure UPS...
Well, if I remember right, the CC mint was lucky to have ever existed. I think a lot of people were against it being built but it finally got...
I think baseball and the card companys' greed hurt baseball cards. I grew up collecting. I even briefly got back into it a few years back. A...
Check out the book "History of the U.S. mint and it's Coinage." I think you'd find it very interesting. The branch mints were built based on...
That is an awesome safe. Even if you invited me to try to break into that thing and take something, I wouldn't have the ambition to try it. It...
That's the policy for now and perhaps for the past 100 years. I'm saying look back over several thousand years at what has happened with various...
