    Except...maybe a billion folks in the world who never heard about PCGS.com.

    They'll find us eventually, on Google.

    You mean the other 6 billion folks are members here. :smiley:

    Really? So if this is the way you feel why did you flag me for "Abuse" for saying the message is to use the front door?

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Most of the world enforces their immigration laws far more strictly then we do. When I my wife and I vacationed in Jamaica many years ago, you had to provide documentation and show a passport. If you didn’t have a passport, you were sent home. I saw it happen. I have no idea how those people got on the plane, but they did.

    The documentation requited you to state how long you were going to stay, what the purpose of your visit was, where you were going to stay and when you were leaving. Most countries don’t take kindly to those who over stay their visas. Mexico is only one example.

    The same was true for the other Caribbean islands we visited.

    I've lived in two different foreign countries and both required work permits and residency permits. You could not work, or get an apartment or bank account or driver's license without them.

    Those of us who are Americans are fortunate that as tourists we don't usually need a visa, but many other nationalities are required to get visas even to travel internationally on vacation.

    While you don't need a visa to travel to many places, you are required to show your passport if asked. Try and refuse...

    What I can get is why is it the one side of the Untied States? I don't see use closing NY or FL or building a wall there, drugs and murderers are coming form every side of are country and in every race but all I see is Hispanics! don't Russian, Chinese, African Americans and other races do bad this is the U.S this is a big mixing pot of races how can we say that one is the worse? That is just me thinking Dumb Type2.

    Yes we need to keep out the bad and work with each other to keep the bad in check and I would like to see if any others races are getting the boot for doing Bad or coming here with out the right paper work. Now that would be news to me and I bet for many others.



    Hoard the keys.

    I tried to steer us back to coins and I'll try again.

    @bronco2078 said "Since all the statue of liberty issues are just bullion , that seems to show what people think of the idea. :D" I realize that this is a joke.

    I believe that this issue sells at bullion due to the large mintage. I believe that the large mintage is due to the fact that the subject was popular and modern commems were still pretty new in the 1980s commanding greater collecting interest. Can we agree on this much?

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.

    Here we go again. Another political thread disguised as a coin thread. :D

    I have reported @ErrorsOnCoins. This kind of childish nonsense (disagreeing to be disagreeable) should not be tolerated around here!

    This statement is true and cannot be disagreed with. We learn from reading the posts of others here. Most of the time, there are two sides to a post that can be debated. IMO, anyone who disagrees with a post such as this is a BIG PROBLEM to this forum and to the USA!

    Unfortunately, many citizens of our country are extremely uninformed. A country w/o borders and laws is just another outcrop in the ocean. The history of the world proves it will not last. :(

    I reported ErrorsOnCoins also. He shouldn't be allowed here.
