I posted on another thread I think they are overlooking the affect of bank lobbies being shut down is having on this. I know I have my jar full I...
In Iowa, finding a place to park two semis was never a concern. Heck, he probably had 40 friends with similar space, but point taken. Not all...
I thought my dad was dumb when I was a kid, but then thought about it and realized how brilliant it was. He speculated in copper, but in a...
There are lots of good books on US gold. I actually have multiples of the Smithsonian one with Doty. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend, especially...
Ever read the David Jen(?) book about "shen" of a coin. Best description I ever heard. The rest of his book was a trainwreck, but its worth it for...
Excellent point. Unfortunately coin slabs are not stasis chambers. Red coins can turn brown, pretty toning can turn dark and dangerous, etc.
I do too, attractive coin. Not as classical maybe as I might prefer, but attractive.
What are you talking about? What do I "rub in your face" here? You don't need "cred" here to disagree with me or anyone else here. I thought the...

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 take that as a compliment. :)
