If you're the type who would characterize it as "theft." Me, I prefer the term "Stupidity Fee." If you're such a featureless drone that you can't...
She is my favorite human being in numismatics. I admire those who refuse to accept an undesirable status quo, and to my mind she broke the back of...
The 1880 makes me weak. :)
Perfection bores me. :)
My snap judgement is it's a dip gone wrong. The reverse was more heavily encrusted than the obverse, and failed to come completely clean at the...
3CN's are a fascinating series. Imagine collecting a date set where a few issues make more sense to purchase in Proof. :) You can find one...
I see at least two and maybe three retained cuds on that one - note the obvious denticle displacement under the 86 and U. Crazy. :)
Heh. We're arguing about one of them. :) That would be nice, wouldn't it?
What's the "error," if I may ask? The idea it's a true Denver coin in a San Francisco slab? It's definitely an expensive error if so - the coin...
I have to stick with VAM-5 for it. We don't know - at least, today - of any other usage of that reverse. The mint mark doesn't show the...

So when did "investments" become short-term vehicles? That's the root problem; if you're investing in stocks with a term of less than a decade in...
There is not_a_chance that coin would leave my collection if I owned it. :)
Error-Ref is as much Mike Diamond's baby as anyone else's, and you will see him getting pretty solid respect around here because it's reasonable...
An interesting upshot to all this is, although my support for Carr's work will not waver, I've seen enough of judicial precedent to believe they...
That's the CC/Paypal price; I quoted cash/equivalent. For the record, I don't doubt you're correct in thinking them fakes, because of the...
Well, I like 'em whippy, so I'm a Meucci fan. :) Joss used a similar treatment around the joint to Meucci; it's why I made that mistake. Oddly...
JMB has them for roughly £14.99 (US$22.90), so I conclude this auction is actually about right. Melt value is only $14 and change....
