What I am passionate about is the proliferation of truth, classical knowledge and culture, and consumer rights. In terms of coins, I get...
I didn't get there until around 1pm so probably much of the good stuff had been snapped up. Buyers like Steinmetz and David Carr were there at...
I was at a coin show today and there were quite a few Bust halves on the Scranton bourse floor, but hardly any in mintstate. I picked up a couple...
One advantage with ANACS is if they do call the coin "problem" in whatever form they will list VF25, XF45, AU55, not just AU details. Are they or...
