Based on your response, I don't think that you understood my original post, but that's okay. Nonetheless, knowledge and education have been huge...
It does look good, thanks for the reminder. I'm curious whether it takes a Hannah Arendt view of Eichmann or more of the standard historical view....
The TPGs, whether one considers them useful or worthless, are really just a logical extension of the racket of the hobby itself. If one truly buys...
I think your theory about it being a spender makes sense. 1936, with a mintage of over 12 million, doesn't exactly qualify as a rarity really...
Though I'm not completely sure what is meant here by "greatest coin," one of my favorite coins has to be a 1794 Large Cent, even despite its less...
We're of course completely in the realm of opinion here and all of these opinions have at least something compelling about them. Nonetheless, if...
You're absolutely fine collecting these coins. I have some and many people do. Keep collecting them. They are beautiful and fascinating and they...
I think it's great that you asked the question about offensiveness, it at least shows consideration for the perspectives of others, something...

Everyone wants to protect their investments, of course, but if you don't buy things that you enjoy then this hobby will become intolerably boring...
One of these finally came my way - the one year type Japanese Yen Dragon with the Emperor Taisho's name on it rather than Meiji's. This was the...
Ah, so they are all non-circulating according to the link - a collector's only offering. That makes more sense. The mint must make plenty of money...
Somewhere, sadly I don't remember where, Grover Norquist led a movement to replace FDR with Reagan on the dime. This was after Reagan's death, of...
I have every Kookaburra back to the first issue and the previous issues' values seem to keep rising beyond their silver price. Every time I see an...
Yes, Edward VI portrait coins have something ineffably appealing about them. I picked up these two a while ago. I honestly can't remember what I...
Well, that was the year that the British burned Washington D.C. almost to the ground, so perhaps that "feature" is somewhat appropriate. But later...
This is one of those interesting situations I've also found myself in. Did you do anything wrong by buying and flipping the coin? Not really. Was...
