I have others, but would share a friends: He was a metal detectorist, and not a coin collector. He did have a Red Book, though, and knew the...
Well, for most of its history gold was more valuable than platinum. Platinum used to be used to make fake gold coins, giving it the weight...
I would never say that sir. Anyone saying that the coin they buy, (especially a PM coin), cannot go below X is not a statement I would support. I...
Can I ask you a question sir? Do you still collect coins, or does all of them passing through your fingers every day either bore you with it, or...
Cloud, I know you and I disagree about DCA. My take, is that most people do not have the money to put all money they want to have in an asset at...
I tell you what LD, if economically I could, doing what you described seems like a dream job. I am sure it gets old for you, but being on the...
True, and by late medieval times guilds who's members all worked for the same employer were starting to show the same signs as modern unions, job...

This is good advice if it is an auction, but I disagree with your statement that most estate sales are auctions. It really depends on what state...
I agree as well, and this is where this whole mess started. The US government created Fannie and Freddie, and it was good FOR THE TIME. Both...
I agree completely, though I hate saying so here, (competition). I didn't even notice it, but just got a 1923 Canadian cent in a lot I bought a...
Ebay "unsearched rolls" is usually about as truthful as "military intelligence". :) I am a war vet guys, I hope I am allowed to make fun of the...
Well written, informative, and spot on accurate response. I wish I had something to add. Edit: Actually I do. Rhino, if you are in Washinton DC...
Well I used to be responsible for doing the remittances of contents of SDB and monies in 20 states for a nationwide bank. All of the States I...

I would have guessed yes to the 32, but no to the 09. I thought the 09 looked fine. Remember these I believe were made from different sources of...
