Classical drapery, or modern spandex? Hmm... ;)
I don't know -- classical garb for classical archetypes suits me just fine. I find plenty to complain about in most Mint designs, but I like this...
Yep. The whole "we are stardust" thing can be quite overwhelming if you think about it. It's good to keep the ecological impact of PM mining and...
Right, let's update it to show Liberty carrying a flintlock. And while we're at it, let's replace that silly torch on the Statue of Liberty with a...
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Any rectilinear design will suffer. I don't like novelty-shaped coins. The convex baseball was fine, I...
If you want to guarantee a profit, or at least no loss of money, I think roll-searching is about your only choice. I take that back -- gathering...
Yeah, I think I was pulling down a quarter a week as allowance at that point.
Here's where I call it first: one of the "Pursuit of Happiness" designs will involve chasing Pokemons.
I'm finding it hard to pull myself away from this. :rolleyes: The paper's author says he expected to see a SG of 10.31 for US 90% coinage, and...

There were a couple of threads about this movie at the time it came out. The overall impression seemed pretty terrible -- except for the cool Carr...
I will neither confirm nor deny that some of my electronic equipment came from dumpsters. :angelic:
I've posted from time to time about BIN bargains I've found by camping on the new listings. There's been a lot of life happening over the past...
At this point I think we can say "nice score", regardless of the details of what you receive. But we still want details! :)
Well, that's not creepy at all. Considering what our future in space was looking like 50 years ago, though, I suppose it's sadly appropriate for...
I'd drop off that $75, then add back maybe $20 for the ounce and a half of silver. I'd assume the St. Gaudens knockoff is plated base metal; if...
Always a... something... sign when the seller identifies a nickel as a dime. :rolleyes: $23.50 for $2.25 FV of silver, plus 85 cents FV spare...
