(raises hand guiltily) Um, yeah, I have no clue what coins I own. I know many, and if I see others they may ring a bell, but others still I can...
I agree. In general I agree with the statement, its the reason modern baseball cards collapsed in value, too many made as "collectibles", and not...
Btw Calpurnia, here is the story why I bought my avatar coin: http://www.cointalk.com/t194425/
I have been a big fan of Detecto! :) I may disagree with his opinions on a couple of things, but I am sure I disagree with a lot of people's...
Cool coins man. You are so lucky you live near this great show. I bet those Curacao pieces are scarce!
If you cannot afford to make a bulk order, see if someone at the local coin club or a buddy to split an order with you. Best long term way to buy...
Detecto, now you are getting down to the nuts and bolts of collecting. Knowledge. I agree with posted suggestions of where to look. The...
