    Even if I could recall, because I don't keep track of prices paid because it has no bering on my collecting enjoyment, I'm with Frank in that I doubt I'd put that information here for just anyone to see. If you think people can't find your address after posting on a public forum, then I feel sorry for you when you find out otherwise.

    Anyone who wanted to be able to track prices. In fact, you can still BUY a 1964 Grey Sheet !

    I once purchased an ANACS graded 1922 No-D Die Pair #2 Strong Reverse Lincoln Cent in XF-40 for $1,000 I sold the coin several years later for, you guessed it, $1,000... I wish I still had it, but I needed the money more.

    Don't take me wrong treasurehunter or coleguy, I only use my weapons to harm those that would try to harm me or mine.
    On another note, do you realize how many personal coin pictures are posted the www?

    I think it would be my gold Statue of Liberty by last Chief Engraver for the US Mint Elizabeth Jones, 1986. I paid $259 for it!

    For you folks that are worried about being robbed because you post pics of your coins on the web - you've got bigger things to worry about. One being that the most likely person to rob you is going to be someone you know personally. Check the statistics.

    I've been robbed 3 times over the course of my life. All 3 times it was either very close friends, or family. And never once did it have anything to do with anything I ever posted on the web.

    Those mags are my range mags for practicing. The hollow points are in my other mags.

    I'm not worried, Doug. But in your case, were any of those three times in the past ten years when we had wide-spread internet use, or before? Look at all the cases just here in CA over the past few years with people having home invasions because they had valuables listed on Craigslist...a few of those people killed in cold blood for a few hundred dollars worth of junk. Maybe in rural America it isn't a concern, but in places where there are literally a million people out of work in a single city, it might be something to consider.
