As expensive as coins have gotten, maybe I'll just start collecting coin pots and pretend they're full of the new coins I haven't been buying.
Asiaminorcoins is down, I think, but here's the link to it on waybackmachine:...
Him and Chappelle are my two constant go-tos, and Norm's the one if I just need to laugh. He's the first stand-up I ever saw live, and to that...
Celebrity deaths don't usually affect me, but, man, this is the first celebrity I've followed this closely for this long to pass away. Everything...
At three bucks you did well! I'm a low-budget guy myself. My guess is that somewhere in the chain of ownership somebody else cleaned up some BD...
I have never had any success treating BD. If it's a coin I don't want to discard I pop it in a capsule and keep it apart from the rest of the...
Is anyone else here as bummed as I am about Norm Macdonald dying yesterday? And to keep it on-topic, here is something he posted a couple years...

The fun thing about ancients is my big thumb-like fingers don't have to deal with capsules. Of course, that may be offset by dealing with...

Yep. Yep. That reverse is great and I'm a sucker for flow lines.
