Re: Another....Real or Fake?.....Gold $1
To those of you who have followed my postings about the gold dollar series....again I must reinforce the idea that all these coins are Rare. While we can speak in terms of surviving populations in the hundreds of thousands for some coins such as specific dates of Morgan dollars, many gold dollars only exist in surviving… -
Re: Coin shops in this area are robbing people blind
<< <i>The unfortunate reality is that if these people avoid dealers all together, they still run the risk of being burned by ebay. Finding someone like jdimmick or rkfish who do their best to offer a fair purchase price is likely best for someone who doesn't know anything about coins. And IMO to try and bash them for… -
Re: What defines a "Market Maker"
Can happen in coins or stocks or anything that is bought and sold. An entity buys up a lot of one thing on the sly and on the cheap. Then when they think they have enough to make a bundle they create an artificial hyping of the coin. Maybe a news item or some such where the word gets out to the collectors that this is a… -
Re: Vick admits to laziness and complacency in Atlanta
As a resident of Atlanta I had to endure the seemingly never ending Vick garbage while watching the local sports broadcast.

Re: Beware the Ides of March! Post your Julius Caesar coins!
Great looking coin lordmarcovan. :) My Caesar example is not a portrait coin but still contains its share of propoganda. Struck in Africa during the Civil War with Pompey, it repeats his family's claim of divine lineage through Venus via her mortal son Aeneas who escaped the fall of Troy to found Rome. I acquired this coin… -
Re: Post Mint Damaged Large Cent- how was this done?
Here's my WAG. Somebody made a false die by impressing the reverse of a Half Cent into a piece of metal. THey then sandwiched the large cent between the the false die and the reverse of the actual Half Cent. TD -
Re: GOLD AND SILVER, ECONOMIC NEWS, COINS, 2009 forward
Yeah, like housing foreclosures rising and expected to peak in 2011 yet used home sales are rising quickly, if you listen to the media. What, so someone is buying all the foreclosures...maybe the Chinese or someone. As far as I've read when the banks take over a property (ie foreclose) they become the owner and a sale… -
