Thanks guys I appreciate the support and will keep you updated as I make progress (hopefully).
I have done a lot of research on this and agree with what you guys are saying. I understand how you're not going to find any gems or whatnot and...
From what I've read it is as good a place as any, depending on the vendor. Where do you suggest? I'm not worried about one purchase; I'm...
OK great thanks for your help. Now I just need to win this lot of twenty coins I bid on. Auction ends in 2 hours. :)
OK got it. I appreciate you helping me out here. So by rinse, rinse, and rinse again what exactly do you mean? So - I put my coin in some...
