Good time to get into that area IMHO. Prices have been weak for quite some time. My bad habit is Oregon Trail halves. I don't collect US anymore,...
I really do think this is the root cause of the coin shortage in the US. Most banks are not welcoming people to come in to deposit coins. Maybe...
The only time I have seen it Corona virus was the author playing with words. Not trying to win sir, just saying.
A Corona virus? If I were a drinker that would sound cool to me. ;) Sorry, couldn't resist. I think you mean coronavirus, one word no caps. :)
I have a few. One I remember was a fuzzy pic, (I know, many are setups), that said 1812 Bible and Coin. Listed for $50 and no bids. I squinted...
I took this suggestion as one with an implied, HUGE caveat, "If the coin is already seriously damaged and it simply does not matter what kind of...
OP, acetone is always a go to, (at least it will never hurt silver). Practice on these, and rinse with distilled water after. May not do anything,...

I am not one to bring up your previous dealings here, but if truly are trying to put together a monster box of APE, one would think you could...
People could accuse me of suggesting buying PM. I have stated repeatedly that PM is a viable contra asset, and also the fact that DCA is a good...
My "order of priority" 1. Take care of family 2. Emergency fund, (amount depends on how much you make) 3. No credit card debt/personal loan/etc....
What I would do sir would be, (once shows are open again), go and meet dealers around. Let them know what you are interested in. Ebay and the like...
And I am not really disagreeing sir. Just stating that "Gem" is not puffery, since it has a define definition in the ANA standards. "Puffery" is...
The thing I would say is, "that is because they are available". Know what I mean? I am sure all those who wish to own a Chain Cent would chose a...
There are no atheists or racists in foxholes. :) When we went to the Persian Gulf, few attended religious services. Near the end before we came...
Separate names with a comma.
