Re: Guess You Compulsive/Obsessive Types are Taking Weekend Off !!
<< <i> << <i>Good thing I've never subbed and only piggy backed once. I don't know what that addiction is like. Sean >> Its horrible. Its completely irrational. You feel compelled to check even though you just checked only 5 minutes ago. This feeling goes on for days, then weeks, sometimes for months. When it does finally… -
Re: Post a Favored Coin Along With an Interesting Event From That Year
When you think of a D associated with 1944 you think of D-Day, June 6, 1944. That's WAY too well known and too easy to comment upon. Less than ten days after D-Day the USA had another MAJOR amphibious landing, only this time it was halfway around the world in the Pacific. The invasion occurred on June 15th on the island of… -
Re: 1st Annual Muggymania Super Bowl Exam: GO HERE!
Thanks Mike! Here is the first twist... There will be 2 different pools to participate in. One will consist of approximately 40-50 questions ranging from fill in the blanks, multiple choice, over/unders, True/false, etc.) that will likely not be decided until the last play of the game.

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… -
Re: negative interest rates and precious metals
When rates are falling, the expectation is that rates will continue to fall. Falling rates are an inducement to borrow. When the game changes and rates start to rise, all of that debt looks good but if rates continue down, the higher interest debt becomes a burden. When rates go negative, all of the above gets turned on… -
Re: POLL: If the value of your collection and the rest of the rare coin market dropped by 75% overnight.
<< <i>why on earth would it fall by that much? >> The ones that would fall the most would not be the colector coins (16D dimes etc) but the"investor" coins. MS67 Gold , top pop stuff. The ones that are cherished by the unknowing investor in a hot market and dumped fast in a falling market. Expect all generic hi grade stuff… -
Re: How will the 500 point dow drop impact the Coin market?
Market should trade down again tommorow, by mid-day might be a good entry point. XOM and MO got hammered for $3- $4 each. might be a good entry point for some longer term call options. Some bloated stocks didnt fall nearly as far as they could (Goog et.al) still some downside risk. Should be an interesting morning. CNBC… -
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: Magician-turned-mathematician uncovers 51% bias in coin flipping (2004)
"Montgomery had developed the Falling Cat Theorem -- a theory that explains how a cat dropped from any angle always manages to land on its feet. Surely this expertise in angular momentum could also apply to falling coins, Diaconis thought." So the guy thinks that how a living, breathing animal with senses that enable it to… -
Re: My response to Analyst from the Doug Winter Originality Thread - Just to Beat the Horse Some More
Ricko <<The desire for bright, clean coins was as strong then as is the desire for [naturally toned coins] now.>> The survival of so many thousands of coins with natural toning over mostly to fully original surfaces, suggest that collectors in the 19th century had little desire for artificially brightened coins. Moreover,…
