Re: Why coin dealers drink, Part CCCXCII
I used to have the same issues with table dealers at a show I'd help my Dad at. The same few would scamper around the floor during set-up and try to buy all the good stuff so they could mark it up and put it on their table. One particulary annoying guy got shut down by me once: I asked him why I would want to sell to him… -
Re: Stay classy Richard Sherman
<< <i> << <i>Just watched Sherman's portion of the team interviews. I'm positive clips will be available later but do yourself a favor and watch it. He's a really sharp guy, especially on the fly, and doesn't give the typical bs answers. >> You sound surprised. The guy is a Stanford grad with a degree in communications who… -
Re: SGS grading service
<< <i> << <i>I'm completing my kennedy halve set (with proofs), and I need about 30 more coins to finish it. There is a lot of kennedy half PR70 (SGS graded) on ebay for less than I could buy proof sets to bust them out of. These coins are going into a dansco album so I'm going to crack them out of the SGS slab anyway. My… -
Re: Can anyone show me a picture of a coin that was lasered?
<< <i>I have been into coins for a short time (around 7 years) I always hear about coin doctors. Coin doctors this and coin doctors that. No one ever names NAMES. iT WOULD NOT BE THAT DIFFICULT TO NAME A FEW NAMES. Everyone seems to want to sweep it under the rug to some degree. Laura is big on preaching about coin docs. I… -

Re: Russian rouble question
Sorry, I have to disagree with something. The Borodin ruble in that link is a counterfeit which currently seems to be coming out from the Baltic states. Notice that the spagetti hair on the Tsar Alexsander I. That is not an acceptable novodel or even a restrike. Here are some pictures here of the hair of Alexsander I by… -
Re: Updated with inline pics: Picked up an old poured silver bar. Hoping someone could help identify it.
Originally posted by: PerryHall I had no problem with the links. I don't see a decimal point between the 24 and the 57. Could this be a serial number? Did you weigh your bar to see if it actually weighs 24.57 ozs? Is the word "SILVER" shown anywhere on your bar? Is the a manufacturer's name or logo shown anywhere on your… -
Re: FAVRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe the Eagles will trade up in the draft. Who do the Bucs have to start when Simms goes down again? Cade McCown? Luke McCown? Shemp McCown? Can't forget that proven vet backup, Tim Rattay. How much better is their O line this year? Simms is practicing the new 9 step drop as we speak. Scamper back, make sure you… -
Re: Dear Glamour Shot ...
Slammer: Don't get me wrong, you always look good...too good. You never have a bad hair day. Your cheek looks smooth as a baby's bottom even though I know it's pockmarked. Your fields look smooth and glassy but I know that they're scratched and littered with dirt. You always insist on showing me that "just so" tilt that… -
Re: Silver over $14 today?
<< <i>Namely, a couple of kooks trying to corner the market. Kooks? Hardly. As businessmen the Hunts took advantage of a paper dominated market that was supposed to be a metals market. The only reason they didn't win is because those who had rigged the markets were getting killed. Hence the rules were changed to protect…
