Why We Left The Gold Standard by
Frank Galikanokus
Going off the gold standard gave the government new tools to steer the economy. If you're
not tied to gold, you can adjust the amount of money in the economy if you need to. You

Do you use dollar coins? by
Voltronicus
There's been a lot of self-righteous hot air blown around in here
about the virtues of dollar coins over dollar bills.
But do those of you who blow the hardest put your money where your
mouth is and actually use dollar coins?

PCGS Slabbed Counterfeit Pioneer Gold Coins as "Fantasies" by
Bob
I haven't seen anything about this in Coin World (though my paper is
always late), and there doesn't seem to be an announcement on the
Collectors Universe web site, but according to Spring 2008 issue of
The Brasher Bulletin, a Pioneer Gold Forum was convened by Don Kagin

Dave Bowers says MS100 grading scale has merit by
stonej
From his coin world column:
The 70-point grading system is clumsy, illogical, difficult to
understand and has erratic spacing. Changing to a 100-point scale is
difficult, but doable, and merits a discussion.

Jules Reiver Collection ..frankly, I'm disappointed by

This is a formidable collection, quite complete, including nearly all
Sheldon Varieties of large cents, all varieties of the super rare
1796-1797 halves, and the auction ctalogs from Heritage (there are
three) have much historic detail about the coins and are worthy of a
fine numismatic...

GOLD AMERICAN QUESTION by
BrianInNY
I'm interested in purchasing 1 oz. gold American Eagles. The U.S.
Mint appears to sell "proof" and "uncirculated" coins which,
typically, sell at a "premium". I wish to invest in the gold content;
"proof" is unimportant to me. Here's my question: How much in so-
called "commission" can I...

how to get the public to use Dollar coins? by
J. Adams
How about making the dollar coin out of 90% silver, with a picture of
an American bald eagle on the reverse, and a picture of George
Washington on the obverse? Both designs should be done in traditional
style, ala 1860's. Yes the dollar would be smaller..and the coin
machines would have to be...

Toned Morgan Ready To Move? by
Larry Louks
Hi Folks,
Seeing some talk on here in recent days about toned coins has sort of
"whetted my appetite" to obtain a nice Morgan that is both toned and
slabbed. Those that I have are all of the raw variety, and none has dramatic
