ANA Atlanta Show Report
Our daughter and I got up very early ( I don't think that I have ever gotten up so early to go to a coin show ) Thursday morning to go to the ANA show. We left the house at dark++++++. After driving for over an hour and a half we saw the sun rise. We were hungry so we went through the drive through at Hardee's and got… -
Michigan State Show report--------a 430 mile whirlwind trip!!!!
I'd like to start out by saying thanks to member numobri and a few of his friends who were very gracious hosts and put on a first class show. Brian is involved with the organization, told me he's been helping for 15 or so years and it can be seen in the way the floor was set up and the general demeanor of the dealers.… -
Re: Are MS 65 Common Date St Gaudens Double Eagles Really Worth Around $2000 at Today's Gold Price?
170,000 pieces of which probably 50% are duplicates.....means 85,000 to be spread around a nation of over 300 MILL people. Figure 3 coins for every town of 10,000 people. It's still a gem gold type that is needed by every set collector or investor looking to complete a gold type set or just to have one for posterity. They… -
Re: 1827- the 10th Informative Picture thread about the Capped Bust Half Series- Post your Capped Bust H
The marriages of 1827 Obverse 21. There are more marriages with this one obverse die in 1827 than any other. But that certainly doesn't mean more coins were struck, but probably just the opposite. With 100,00 to 300,000 coins per estimated die life expectancy, one could say possibly three quarters may be the correct… -
Re: Just getting sick of getting ripped in general ( rant here)

Re: Is Hunting A Sport?
My hunting career got off to a bad start when I was a kid. We pulled into one of our milo stubble fields and I saw a rooster pheasant hiding behind a tumbleweed. I told my Dad I was going to blast it and he said no you're not, you're going to give it a sporting chance and let it get airborne. So I did and I got off 3 shots… -

Re: The Numismatic Museum in Athens
On a final note, my fast approaching 20 years at the Darkside, started from a sale I did on ebay. In one of my very frequent then trips to London, I bought a bunch of proof half sovereigns from SPINK in one visit, and along with a terrific 1893 65 CAM but there were no CAM designations on world coins from Mike Steinberg in… -
