    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    Good one, Andy. But the Newby coppers were Irish, not Scottish, right? image

    do they want to buy 1 coin at $500 or 50 coins at $10/ or 500 coins at $1/

    are they buying for personal enjoyment and collection
    or are they buying for a nice 5-10 year return on investment that can be moved quickly?

    Right. Seriously, I wouldn't recommend Scottish to a newbie. Way too difficult and very few coins to look at in the USA. On the other hand, Irish Free State coinage would be a great project. Know anyone that's tried that? image
