Do you like the coin? Does the slab make you feel better about the purchase? Was it worth $54 to you? If yes then its a good buy. :) Its your...
I think it happens in any kind of setting. Abbreviations are simply used to speed up communications. I would simply ask in the thread what does...
I don't think its a clear cut as that. Many non-keynsian economists do not agree with a purely monetary supply definition of inflation. To me,...
Well sir, if it helps its not really any better if you are bigger. I am 6'3" and 240 and there is always a bigger or a crazier guy it seems. :)
I think my worst was when I found a denari and 5 kushan bronzes in my change jar. I have a large change jar, and think my wife was tidying up. Now...
....sheepishly raises his hand. I have found them in drawers, baskets, in sofa cushions, on top of dressers, about everywhere you might find a...
I am sorry, but I am disappointed sir. If you wish this board to do your attributions for you to post on Ebay, I wish you would state that up...
Yeah I remember that one. Made me want to grab a bunch of circulated CC's and fly to Vegas. I must be rich! They are only casual experts,...
For me, at first collecting US coins it was the design and then the history. Now with ancients, its more the history then the design. I force...
For the money, I sure as heck would go over every coin. When I bought a BU roll of 39d nickels, I went over every coin to make sure it was a 39d...
To the OP of course its possible, but follow Reagan's wisdom, trust but verify. Lots of whole rolls show up. I knew a guy with 2 rolls of...
What about grading coins a 70? That was taboo as well wasn't it?
I will admit it was a somewhat snarky comment. I was a little peeved. I shouldn't have done that, it wasn't her fault but it was late in the day,...
This is true LONG TERM and on the margins. However, short term mines cost money to shut down. Also, I believe the majority of silver is mined as a...
Nice detail for what could fit on the flan. Unfortunately these are one of the "boring" RR denari with head of Roma/Dioscori. Every RR collector...
I was not comparing it at all if you are referring to me. I was simply relaying what happens in a falling market since many, (most) here have not...
Yes, yes you can. You can call it simplistic, and it is. Using cheaper money to pay down fixed rate debt is mathematically an advantage to...
I understand the sentiment, but let me put this into context. What if you bought a truckload of silver, (which would still be tens and tens of...
Really? In what way? Sure most economic systems break down eventually, but a lot of those are due to externalities and not internal pressures....
Its just a bet. I am going off my experience in the early 80's when there was still an expectation that silver would go above $30 long term again....
