1 Longacre = a pacel of land that is one foot wide and 43,560 feed long.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

If your coins are so expensive that you have to keep them in a vault or safe deposit box, what's the point of having them? Why not by replicas instead, they look almost identical.
Kind of reminds me of folks with 6 and 7 figure jewelry....they wear fake stuff when they go out on the town so it won't get ripped off. The real stuff is in a safe somewhere....just like coins.
What's the fun of having a super rarity or set of them all locked up????????????
To a dealer---I spent a lot of time polishing these coins so will you make me a generous offer?

What is spot or melt? What is bullion, isn't that a spice cube? YOU PAID WHAT FOR THAT PENNY? what I hear from the wife. What do YOU think of my newp? Why are you so mad, I didn't know I was supposed to wear gloves?

Girlfriend (who is not into coins) asking this question while a TV commercial shows a large, ugly, spotted, gold plated replica coin (with a visible fingerprint) slowly rotating in an extreme closeup:

Lol.
...as well as wine.
The Egyptians were even cultivating yeast by 4400 BC which was 1200 years before anyone figured out how to write down the recipe. Then it was about 5,000 years be- fore anyone made something as big as the pyramid. It's a curious history.

Typical Dumbismatic questions we get at the store.
I have a peace dollar with trust mispelled TRVST is it worth anything? Ok your paying me 9x face for my silver coins. Do I get the face value again added on top. I got a 43 penny like I saw on the news on tv. Do you have enough money to buy it? and on and on.

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

Looks like a straight line to me.
Is my 1943 Steel Penny worth millions?

Which leads me to my second question. What do they blast coins with to make 'em blast white?

So if beer was invented over 5000 years ago, and coins were invented 2700 years ago, when was the game of quarters finally invented?
