Oldest find in circulation..... 1900-S Barber half dollar. Willie (The Ghost of)
Hi Cave, You have said you sell off some of your extra 90 and 40 %ers to help finance your numismatic purchases. Do you have an exit...
Thanks to Moen and lawdog, I got the magicians coin to pop apart. Put it in the freezer for about a week, and then threw it down on an old coffee...
Haven't tried that. Tried that. Maybe I'll try dropping it right after taking it out of the freezer. Doubt it will work. It had a slight...
I had a similar experience not too long ago, with a twist. Found both halves of a 1971 Kennedy half dollar, separately, in the same bag. It...
Cave Not bad, either, if I am reading it all correctly. The APMEX site is quoting 5.84 X face for 90% and 2.28 X face for 40%. However,...
TOLS, Your having a wife and a girlfriend gives me a vicarious rush!! Willie
Cave WOW!!!! Regards! Willie

Although my path has been (while still doing the prior): stocks and bonds for forty years, long and short; to precious metal stocks off and on,...
Very interesting comments. I had not thought of the Japanese as buyers of numismatics, if the U.S. went into a long-term unwinding of debt and...
Wow! A lot cliche from collectors on investing. Please allow me to give some cliche from an investor on investing. I am on record here as a...
