Re: Legal question about Freedom of Speech on the forum and the threat of lawsuits
We are dealing with libel with the written word. If you are a public figure -- so deemed by your position or your own quest for the spotlight -- it requires a "knowing and reckless disregard of the truth" to prevail. That is, you knew what you were saying was false and you "published" it regardless. That is a very high… -
Re: Beware Raw Ebay Coins (Pics)
someone selling something that a person has every right not to buy at all. Which totally ignores the fact the seller flat-out lied about the condition of the coin and posted a bogus photo to pawn his wares. How is what you have done any different from , say, this What is different is I told the truth and have both the… -
Re: Russia Buying Silver!!!
How did I disparage silver? By stating that it had woefully underperformed other assets? That's just the dang truth bro. The dang truth. Now is it finally playing catch-up? Maybe. Won't that be a wonderful thing? An end to a decade plus of misery and unkept promises and false insurance. Yay...let's be happy. But we don't… -
Re: College players now kneeling.
Sorry to inform you and the kneelers, but there is a lot of ignorance on this kneeling issue. Firstly, the initial premise behind Kaepernick and the NFL kneelers is proven by facts to be a totally false narrative. Another false narrative is that the Civil War was all about slavery. It was not all about slavery. The fact is… -

Re: Have any of you built a secrect compartment or room?
My professional engineer father was always very handy in that regard...he actually built a large empty vault area behind and under a staircase, and then concealed it with a false wall, shelves, and a grocery pantry. The false back of the cabinet was held in place by an electro-magnet that needed to be plugged in to release… -
Re: Where does Beckett get off saying this?
Modern collectors are every bit a part of the hobby. New cards are every bit a part of the hobby. Even T206's were new cards when they were first issued. My point is, they are promoting false highs and false rarities to push thier price guides and grading service. This is what is dividing the hobby right now. Anybody still… -
Re: For those who own a 1794 dollar or half dollar – or both
firstmint August 23, 2010: Having studied for many years the situation regarding the first silver dollars, I can say that I think we still don't have it quite right. Actually, we do. It is firstmint that does not understand the records. For instance, the waste book shows a total of 1523 oz. 12 dwt's were needed to create… -
Re: Would You Ever Let A Dealer Build Your Collection?
I am reading about Abe Kosoff and it sounds like most of the major collectors in the 1930s-1950s used dealers to acquire the big player level coins. Of course that was a different time, when a comprehensive Eliasberg-type complete collection was even possible. But I disagree that more collectors use dealers today to build…
