Re: Factors that make top provenance
This is interesting, but I suspect we may have quite a divergence of opinions. For what it's worth, a collection will never be considered great and a provenance to chase without documentation. i.e. a major auction sale at one of the main houses or a sylloge, such as that for the Schneider collection of English gold, is a… -

Re: Donations accepted here to assist homeless Charley victims
Hi All, My wife and I just returned a little while ago to my brothers house in merit island. There have been quite a few donations made via pay pal and some people sent checks to my home address and they were actually delivered!

Re: Capital Plastics
<< <i>and, does anyone know of a way to stop the coins from sliding around (rotating) within the coin slots ??? >> Hi, watch out for the suggestion "a bit of clear varnish on the inside edge" or the like as many types can emit harmful gases.

Re: Between 1930 and 1939 What Items Had Value In America?
CASH - not PMs - are going to be the key. Depend on it. Metal-Bulls just don't get it. You cannot have ultra-high PM prices and a population with no access to cash/credit. You must have forgot to read the accounts of the great depression where gold was so favored that the President had to ban ownership. The simple act of… -

As I posted earlier, the coins were returned (Shipped Aug 28) not long after I reported above.

Re: Interesting article on attendance at sporting events
There are a few reasons why soccer, at least MLS soccer, will never become a mainstream sport in the U.S. (in some order): 1. We know we are not watching the best soccer players in the world. It's like watching AAA baseball. 2. There will probably never be "world class" American soccer player, like a Messi or Ronaldo.. If… -

Re: REA, Mile High, Fanatics Auctions...Post Your Winnings from these Auctions in the Last Few Days
I bid on one and won a single Mile High item (non Sports). Would have bid on more but 20% vig to them was absurd, it's not like they have near the same amount of eye balls as Heritage. Based on what I saw, bids I never placed as a result would have boosted the hammer on all that I would have, some by 2x. Makes me wonder…
