Re: 1985fan is dead wrong about the term Redskin
I read that article above. That study they were highlighting seemed much filled with validity problems. They did nothing to show that it wasn't a slur, and when they pointed out that Indians calling Indians each other the name is different than when a non Indian calls them...it still shows it is disrespectful. But forget… -
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… -

Re: 2025 Red Sox open the season with a great win in Texas to get started off with a bang.
The Red Sox are a hard team to warm up to. Far too much drama in the clubhouse, Devers, Casas, Bregman and let's toss in the now apparently inept Trevor Story, who is now in the "DFA him" conversations. The link below expresses my sentiments over the months and years about the team. It's almost like management is operating… -
Re: Is coin collecting a disease?
Addictions such as alcohol and drugs ie. heroin and fentanyl are diseases. At some point the brains electrical activity and chemistry changes and hence it becomes a disease. Drug addiction is a disease and it’s not a lack of impulse control or poor willpower. Nobody chooses to become an addict. 107,000 people died from… -
Re: Will McGwire get more support this year?
Hopefully he falls far short and continues to do until the day he dies. Not that I hate the guy, I just dont think he goes into the HOF. I strongly believe that any and all juicers need to come clean and be honest to have even the slightest whiff of the HOF. None of this half-assed, I only took HGH one time, I smoked but I… -
Re: lettered edge coins: how do the letters get there?
From the PCGS glossary: Lettered edge: A coin edge that displays an inscription or other design elements, rather than being reeded or plain. The lettering can be either incuse (recessed below the surface) or raised. Incuse lettering is applied before a coin is struck; the Mint did this with a device called the Castaing… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
because it was before pitch counts were actually tracked I didn't believe this one... two hundred and thirty-five pitches? that's insane. his arm would fall off. Legend. but the math actually says he pitched an efficient game at the 235 estimate with the expected pitch total based on the number of strikeouts, walks, and… -
Re: Something different - a DON’T guess the grade thread…
I can unreasonably fall in love with a coin from time to time too. EDIT: Removed reference to pricing of higher grade coin to honor OP's directive. -
Re: Of possible interest to collectors of Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition medals and so-called dollars.
This is a 1974 official US Mint medal where the dies and galvano were produced by the US Mint, but as allowed under Section 4 of the law they were then released to a private firm, Interama Medallions to strike the medals for the Spokane Expo '74. An interesting graphic art design by George Tsutakawa. Clouds, sun, trees,…
