Re: Example #500 For Why eBay is Going the Way of Circuit City
There is a false statement if I ever heard one. I feel like I deserve one - do I get a discount?? NO! I ship next day on all my orders. I pack better than any other seller I have ever encountered. Just because a couple of sellers don't like me charging for shipping and have decided to ding my stars, then I lose my… -
Re: what would have happened if the us had stayed on the gold standard
I think there is a flawed understanding of how the Gold EXCHANGE Standard (not "Gold Standard") worked from 1945-71. For starters, no financial firms were "bailed out" though flexibility allows for mopping up operations. :) Second, downturns would have been more severe and unemployment much higher (much as Europe today)… -

ok, damn.. since DBH is no longer doing his job, please allow me to refresh him on some points i'm sure he's already aware of.. DBH, how can you say PSA doesnt know the difference in an 8 or 9? It's THEIR grading standards, and they're the ones who assigned the grade! The slab clearly says it's a 9, so without a doubt it's… -
Re: GTG - 1921 Peace Dollar (PR62 Satin)
It’s inaccurate to say that “a coin like this is not something NGC will be willing to call PF without a trusted submitter.” We may theorize as to the reasons behind this particular coin or that particular coin being certified differently at different points in time and possibly by different graders, but to claim that it is… -

Has anyone purchased QDB's Obsolete Currency book?
I put in my order back in May, so that I am the first to get my copy when it arrives on the China slow boat. I can't wait for it to arrive.
