Re: My Interview in CoinsWeekly: "Farewell to the Penny: (No) Impact on Numismatics"
I disagree, but not in the way that you might think. Will stopping the coinage of cents cause numismatics to fail or dissolve, no the sky is not falling, at least not yet. But many here and in general are pushing for more denominations to be 86'd as well as the cent, especially the nickel but to lesser degrees the dime and… -
Re: Please explain to me why......
<< <i>How many of you wanting to see the PMs go down so you could buy more, bought the dip in the Fall of 2008???? >> Not sure I fall into the camp of wanting PMs to go down, but I did "buy the dip" in fall 2008. I picked up about five ounces of gold from a downtown Chicago coin dealer during that time. -
Re: End the Fed?
**This quote by Thomas Jefferson is relevant (much more so than any current "AI-generated" quote): Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; ... the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale".** I had to laugh because… -
Re: Duluth, MN Coin Show this Saturday, Sept. 27th
the fall colors should be fantastic That's right! The fall colors are usually close to peak the last weekend in September. I would say they are at 50% right now. This is an angle I have tried to promote, get some folks coming up from the Twin Cities for the weekend, hitting the coin show on Saturday, and on Sunday a nice… -
Which Set Would You Finish?

Hello Everyone... I've made mention that I'll be in a new (tenure-track) faculty position this Fall. I haven't even started yet but I'm already being pulled in a few directions... which is a good thing! I'll be putting coins on the back burner for the foreseeable future but I may be in the position to make one more… -
A moose of a new book by QDB (slightly off topic because it deals with <gasp> paper money)
As I was continually hitting the refresh button on the ANR site, the following popped up. Hopefully I won't get bounced for posting this on the coin forum when it clearly deals with paper money. However, I think any new QDB book is an "event", and everyone should know about this new book. I have to put this one on my list,… -
Re: $3000 Gold and its effect on numismatic gold coins - legs after that?
Gold MAY fall if the stock market goes up again, but gold and stocks can move up together (for the most part they did from 2021 through 2024). Gold supply/demand fundamentals are what is important, not necessarily the stock market or even inflation. Those take priority when gold's supply and demand are not in control. You… -

Re: Tell us about the new coin threads that you created and decided not to post...
Took a bit to dig up. ——- The Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Station “Starting over one hundred years ago, power companies have used water in the Niagara River to generate electricity. Strangely enough, they don't touch the water which goes over the falls. Instead, about a mile above the falls, much of the river is diverted… -
The truth about the toned coin market
(I was going to write this in response to Wondercoin's post about 1970-1990 Morgans, but it expanded enough to deserve its own thread. The question is: Why was it that toned Morgans regardless of how pretty, were worth virtually -0- premium whatsoever?) You want the truth? You want the truth???? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE…
