Depends on my definition of my "early days" I guess. I collected US coins for 30 years from 5 to 35 with enthusiasm and no money, and now ancients...
Cool story. My family goes back to the first Quakers in PA.
Thanks. I am around, and post a little. Career and family simply keeps me busy.
Its ok but I also prefer the actual sandblasted proof, not the design on the die proof also. Not the same look. However, to each his own, and if...
Here is my coin. [ATTACH]
Very common actually. One can be simply fate, and marks on the obverse or reverse are heavier than the other side from bank bags. Other can be it...
I would have gotten as far as definitely Central Asian, looking somewhat similar to many Kushan or Khwarizm types. Not sure I would associated...
Last Friday I saw the change to the future yield curves. It went from predicting at least one cut to maybe 2 cuts in 2026 to predicting at least...

Just not a fan at these yields. I think other alternatives might take some demand, especially considering the issuances needed in the next 5-10...
Of course not, but I was on this Board a lot on 2011 when people were making fun of me predicting it to be $20 again, (right @-jeffB :)). It was...
I would predict Gold $3300, Silver $32. I don't hate PM, being one of the older PM hoarders here, I just see reversion to the mean. Btw,...
Yes, getting back to silver. I think it will hang around here for a while then drift back down once the excitement ends, but will for years be...
I was in Iowa when I passed the CPA, old school two and a half day exam all at once. :) I think back then if you showed X years working for a CPA...
Fair enough sir. I used to have my electrical license, so am aware all of the trades can provide a good living. Some careers need some college, I...
