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… -

<< <i>You hate it when....you look at a coin's obverse and fall madly in love with it, knowing that you MUST own it, no matter what the cost......Then you turn it over and something about the reverse immediately makes you fall out of love >> ...or you fall madly in love with the coin in the dealers' cabinet until you have… -
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… -
The truth about the toned coin market

Re: September 11 coins a "fraud," Spitzer Seeks Injunction
<< <i>Sure the ads are misleading, but I bet they aren't false. I believe the ad says "created using silver recovered from Ground Zero." I would think the thin layer of silver plating would qualify.

Re: $3000 Gold and its effect on numismatic gold coins - legs after that?

Re: get a piece of Canseco
There are a LOT of atheletes that sell their rings and other awards. It seems crazy to us, but everyone here has sold some cards they really didn't want to when life got in the way. Right? Jose has made some decisions so he's selling a ring that he didn't really earn and he'll make a ton of money for it. Seems reasonable… -

Got any interesting stuff on Weimar? Anyone who digs up some interesting data on Weimar debt, or Weimar money creation, or Weimar economic policies - post it here.
