Re: Do you think luck plays any role in coin collecting?
Yes, there is some element of luck. Coin collecting mostly involves skill, but sometimes luck does come into play. Meeting the right dealer or collector when a person is new to the hobby is often times luck. Those first few experiences will often play a large role in how well a person does in the hobby. For example, at my… -

Re: Ebay virus has mutated again!
The 1857 Half above has been amateurishly colored with bleach too.. I suspect that Ebay has far more people that are either scammers or/and completely ignorant when it comes to buying and/or selling coins. Most buyers burned on Ebay are burned by there own ignorance and/or greed. If it's too good to be true it probably is.… -
Re: OK, time to put up or shut up
In this environment, I don't any concerns about the price of gold. It's not about charts or momentum. It's not about short term trading and stop orders. The price is an artifact. The psychology in the markets can't be good for most assets, but I think that gold is less susceptible than most assets are. Based on gold's… -
Re: Rockport Indiana So-Called Dollar?
Lots of mis-information going out there. Hibler-Kappen limited their scope of medals in order to set their definition of a "so-called dollar".

Re: Midwest Collectors - How is the economy affecting the hobby?
I'm not in the Mid-West, but, pre-Katrina, gas in my area was about $2.30. Now I can find it for about $2.60, and it's been decreasing steadily. Even at that price, if I go out for lunch one less time per week, that pretty much covers the difference. Any effect on my hobby purchases? None whatsoever. If anything is driving…
