Re: Dick Osburn ANA show report
I only live an hour away but didn't go because of the downtown location. Put it in Santa Monica, Long Beach, or down in Newport Beach and I'm there ... but not downtown LA. Newport would have been great for everyone because out-of-towners could have flown into John Wayne. I personally had no desire to drive to downtown… -
Re: A fantasy off-center IH clock set
Great Photo Montage! Thanks......it looks great, and shows what can be done with Errors.... I've seen not only off-center and clip planchet clocks, but also Double Struck clocks, and "StarBurst Clocks" Starburst Clocks are those that cointain a coin off-center at 10%, 20%, up to 90% off-center, per clock position, and then… -
Other than...
Hi guy's, I know in some form this question was raised in the past. Other than collecting coins or Bullion, what is another passion of your's that most people here on our Forum don't know about? Mine is the passion of being an avid collector and listener of Southern Gospel Music. I have a great amount of S.G. DVD's/CD's!… -
Re: Planning a trip to California
Goot, sounds like a great trip. I'm assuming you are arriving during the last weekend of this month or first weekend of Aug. Depending on when you arrive in Southern CA, you might be able to catch the Padres vs. Dodgers in Petco or at Dodgers Stadium. As a Dodgers fan, I think that would be great if you made it to the… -
Re: Low end for the grade
Yes, if the price was cheap enough, and that coin did not represent an issue for which I wanted to pay a great deal of money. For example my 1839-C and 1839-D half eagles are not very inspiring. I wanted examples of the coins to fill the type coin spots in my Charlotte and Dahlonega type sets, but I didn't want to pay the… -

Re: Stone Mountain 50C In Original Envelope (Updated with new photos on page 3)
Borrowed from mrearlygold's site STONE MOUNTAIN HALF DOLLAR The models for this coin were prepared by Gutzon Borglum. The first coins were struck at Philadelphia January 21, 1925, General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's birthday. One of the more common U. S. commemorative coins, the Stone Mountain half dollar was a by-product… -
Russian Coins of Poland
In my ever expanding Russian coin collection, I have ventured out into branches of Russian issues that I had not known even existed until maybe a year or so ago. I have absolutely no experience in photgraphing coins, so if someone would tell me how to use a Kodak EasyShare C315 to take pics of my coins, I will be happy to… -
Re: Anybody else wish that ALL threads about the Carr Pease Dollar would go POOF!!!!!!!
<< <i> << <i> Why can't we just accept reality and stop using the past to justify the present? >> I could be wrong, but aren't most rules or laws based on or the result of a precedence or occurrence from the past? >> Yes, and I believe most if not all of the examples were eventually prosecuted. Great point! You also make a… -
Re: An amazing Civil War relic - a sutler counterstamping tool
While he didn't emancipate his slaves while he was living, he did emancipate them in his will and his wife did so early before her death. In that respect, he was ahead of others who still owned slaves during the Civil War. Also, even though he was a Southerner and Virginian, it may have been beneficial for the North to…
