Indeed it's good to teach the kids. When I was a kid in the '70s...right up to today!...my older relatives all called Ikes "silver dollars." I...
Funny the continuing flip talk. All I wanted were beautiful sets for each of the kids. The hullabaloo over whether or not the coins were unique...
To which I provided example at the bottom of the prior page, in case anyone missed it...
And it's kinda a love-hate with the mint as well, since we know how good their stuff can be, when they really try. 2011 set was an ordering...
I think it's sad if market grading (if I understand it correctly) is used to justify TPGs giving mass 70 grades to modern issues which are...
What's up with the 2013 set? Any speculations? Will it be a fiasco like 2012? What fiasco? Sir, this is EXACTLY the direction it had to take,...
That whole line of thinking gets eerie considering the heightened 2nd Amendment arguments, and that so many gun guys are also into survivalist...

I have gone back and forth in my short time collecting, but a LOT of time pondering it. I don't think there's a right answer, so gather the facts...
Green, thanks for clearing that up. My situation resembles SQG above. I make buying decisions based on all available info at the time...which...
