Re: A NOT SO "Flawless" MS70 Silver Eagle

Re: Here's a modern Transitional quarter
<< <i> << <i>Or in the case of this particular coin, when the 1964 and 1965 Quarters were being produced at the same time? >> Do we know that there was a period of time during which dies dated both 1964 and 1965 were simultaneously installed in running presses, thus causing the two to be produced concurrently?

Re: Real value of gold to governments
<< <i>Are you mistaking gold as an insurance policy. Lots of good folks bought into the insurance policy concept only to see their investment wiped out 30-50%, or worse yet, have seen 10-15% (or more), or their investable lifetimes elapse. Some have even died waiting for this insurance to pay off. I don't see it as… -

Re: WI Extra Leaf 25c How they were made - VIDEO
<< <i> I think Occam's Razor is silent on this one. I might lean toward your scenario if it weren't for the fact that the "high leaf" is growing out of a cheese wheel. Shall we also assume that the mint employee responsible was vision-impaired and palsied? It's always tempting to fill gaps in one's knowledge with myth and… -
Re: Other Coin Forums ?

People… -
Re: As gold slowly approaches an all-time record high in dollars.....
No, just because the lame stream media won't cover the real news does not mean this country is not watching. I have used the analogy of the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor; when news of the successful attack reached his head quarters Yamamoto's junior officers cheered loudly. After the commotion died down Yamamoto said… -
Re: Are y'all alone in your collecting like me?

I used to have a nice web site with lots of pics, all my extras to help people fill there sets. But after the IRC channel died off, the ones of you that read this from that long ago will remember, I… -

Re: Is the One Ounce Gold Enhanced Uncirculated Coin on the mint website new?
I based my purchase on wanting the coin, and frankly falling for the written wording of what it was to look like. As you well know, we had zero worthwhile images of it prior to release, save one HSN presentation/sales pitch that NJ clued me in on. That did it for me. Having it in hand confirms it was all worthwhile! That’s…
