Re: Joe Orlando's SMR column
<< <i>It's a shame the c---suckers of the hobby have even made authentication necessary. >> I remember the days before any grading. I walked into a coin shop to buy some supplies, and the experienced coin shop owner had just been scammed and showed me the coin. A 1909-S penny had been altered to make a 1909-S VDB. Back… -

Did you know there is a gold/silver/coin market on gunbroker?
I had no idea gunbroker.com had sales of gold and silver. I mean, not tons, but there's money to be made. People at gun shows are trading bullion and US coins for ammo.
