BHP, you hit that on the head. Essentially, this is the difference between an investor/dealer and a collector. Had it happen way too many...
Interesting. One thing that happened to me once. I took a jar of pennies and a jar of nickels to get counted. For some reason, the genius...
In all the posts I've seen about dealers, starting a business and stories such as what the OP posted, I really have come to the conclusion that...
I am a bit alarmed by the responses from CoinTalk members. The important thing to realize is that all the coins you list are really not...
I agree with Krispy. Let your fingers do the walking. Also don't just focus on silver - pull out the gemmy looking Kennedy's too!
Lehigh, same goes for me. I'm not a toner (and probably will never be), but I certainly appreciate your contributions to this forum. I know -...
I've posted this picture before, but about one year ago, I went to my local bank. About once a month, I would ask for a roll of Kennedy halves....
Let bhp3rd give his opinions. The ones he gives are a hell of a lot more interesting than a lot of the drivel I see on this site (my own...
You regularly see rolls of proof coins on ebay. I couldn't believe the first time I saw them. It would seem that you're gonna know 2-5 points...

Coins = Investment --- That does not compute. Quite frankly, there are a couple of reasons that coins are a popular venue for "investors"....
Is this a case where maybe everyone has an "Achille's Heel" - a weakness or are skill challenged? As the OP says in the original post, there...
I ordered once from them - an album and various 2x2's. It took FOREVER (almost 2 full weeks) for the stuff to arrive (after an immediate PayPal...
Prices will continue to drop. I've got a complete SAC set except for the 2001 proof and I've been watching that set drop and drop and drop....
Wow. I'm really glad I bit the bullet and got the 1999 SBA proof - only 50,000 of them were made! Now I just have to hold my breath....
I really haven't commented in or on the myriad threads of BNB. I've been bumming around coin forums for about four years now and I think this...
Christian, Thanks for that clarification. I guess I was fleshing out the question based on the local economy. You site Germany - I'm siting...
This may seem a bit off-topic, but it isn't. I spent 20+ years in Africa and one of the family's best friends is a VP at the BCEAO. It's...
Congrats on that! I dabble in Ikes because they're affordable, large and shiny. What kind of condition is that one in? If you don't collect...
I agree with bhp3rd. Of course, this all assumes that "hot" means you might be able to make some money. If you're a collector, it's what...
Separate names with a comma.
