Re: New submission turnaround times
There are 4 large corporations in the infant formula business... Nestle, Abbott and two others that elude me right now. There are probably hundreds which make and distribute "baby food" in the United States. "microchips"... this is usually referred to as "semiconductors". There is a rather large semiconductor industry in… -
Re: If you sold silver in the last 4-6 months
This isn't a dip. Might be a "free fall." -
EVP's numismatic year in review: 2022
(cue music by Neil Sedaka) January, I start the year off fine... First up was NYINC where I won very handsome "Ormonde" Crown from the Triton auction. This type is very rare above GVF. IRELAND, The Great Rebellion. Issues of the Lords Justices. 1642-1649. AR Crown (39mm, 29.58 g, 3h). “Ormonde Money” issue. Issued… -
Re: No More Pennies?
False. Now that that bit of pedantry is out of the way, what something is and what it's called can be two different things, as Alice discovered in a conversation with the White Knight. Flying Eagle cents were contemporarily called nicks. -
Re: Ebay feedback question.
Wow, that is pretty bold and assuming of the system. What difference does a couple of no feedback transactions make to eBay? eBay get's their fees, they shouldn't be making potentially false statements about transactions on my behalf. Personally, It's very rare that I leave non-positive feedback. But there are those times… -
Re: Roosevelt Dimes...

The dimes seem to be a pretty snug fit. The only issues with coins falling out look to be with the Peace Dollar... looks to have been taped in at one point. The Morgan Dollar is fairly snug, but I don't want to play with it! I remember the worst for falling out were these big silver coins... -
Re: CACG Market Status Observations
Says me who drinks fresh squeezed lemonade. This whole CACG bashing thread is a false narrative bc: Fact, CAC and CACG use the exact same grading criteria. Hence PCGS/CAC, NGC/CAC, and CACG coins should have the same value if only the type and grade mattered (see below). Besides Facts 2-4 below, the only reasons they may… -
Re: Should the US Mint be backdating coins over a hundred years?
There should be a massive outcry over this. We as collectors depend on dating accuracy. For the mint to throw us and the hobby under the bus here is completely out of line. This isn't any better than a counterfeiter or other false advertiser. And to think our own mint did it. Unbelievable. -
Re: Whatzit #9, or, In Defense of the Bowie $5
I wonder whether the arguments made against the Bowie $5 in this article are sound? I guess there is only one way to find out - examine it point by point. The article appears in italics below - my commentary will be in bold, non-italicized type. The False Bowie $5 Coin. 1. Who was J. H. Bowie? Those who argue the case for… -
Re: How many folks backed out of the 2026 unc. mint set's ?
Last year there were over half a BILLION circulation strikes available. I'm not sure why everyone argues every point except the one that matters: there are only 190,000 (allegedly) business strikes available this year for the Lincoln cents. No rolls. No bags. And it is also a dual date one year type. Might the flip fall to…
