I work with a lady whose husband found a gold Eagle under the floor of a house they were tearing down. Can't remember the date, but she brought it...
Bullion was a good, safe investment 3 or 4 years ago. Sure, with hindsight being 20/20, it is rhetorical to say that today. I'm no expert. Having...
I went to the bank today to get some change. The teller had just taken in a BU roll of 1976s. I saw them sitting on her desk and asked if I could...

Rickie, Thanks for the opinions, tips, and advice. I really appreciate your time and effort! :thumb: I went to the coin shop just to get...
I got all 5 for $73. Being a newbie the New York FRB notes were unlike anything I'd ever seen (they are probably "common") so I grabbed them....
OK, these 3 were in the same envelop as the 4 horse blankets I posted pictures of earlier. Any thoughts? [IMG] [IMG] Thanks!
OK, looks like I've got the fever. :rolling: I picked these up at a coin dealer 3 days ago. I'll tell you what I paid for them after a few...
