......... so please favor me with your thoughts. This thread is prompted by the thread about Mr. Hall's statements on the Q&A Forum on FS Jeffersons.

Re: My Interview in CoinsWeekly: "Farewell to the Penny: (No) Impact on Numismatics"
I disagree, but not in the way that you might think. Will stopping the coinage of cents cause numismatics to fail or dissolve, no the sky is not falling, at least not yet.

Re: $3000 Gold and its effect on numismatic gold coins - legs after that?
