To those that have read about this saga in the past, I apologize, but I will recap for the rest. I have wanted to assemble a proof set from my...
we haven't had real money in the US since 1964. Some would argue since 1933.
if you need any more "conversation pieces", let me know. I can make all of them that you want. This coin is no more original to the Mint than I...
JCB, This is what I do at a show. I ask the dealer for a price on a coin that I like. I wait for him to quote the price and then I look up...
+1 and thanks!!! Excellent idea for a contest and very generous, Kasia!
You'd be surprised at what I can do. As far as the wiser part, I'd rather say nothing and be thought a fool than open my mouth, as you have, and...

how can ANYTHING with a mintage over 250,000,000 be rare???
Can you direct ANACS to grade anything a certain way? This wasn't HSN's call. It is an ANACS slab, and so their grade and their reputation. I...
ok, last night I was enjoying one of my guilty pleasures which is watching shopping channel coin shows. It doesn't matter who or what channel,...
I would also add that at no point in your OP did you say that you were selling them, you merely asked what my 2¢ was. I meant nothing against your...
