On a speculative lark, I have started purchasing Eisenhower dollars. Mainly eBay auctions and almost exclusively PCGS 66-68 on the 40% silver uncirculateds and whatever I can afford on the clads (65 or better, although I haven't bought any clads yet). I am not interested in proofs. Other than...

This is the second batch of half dollars that my sister in law/bank teller saved for me. Out of 60 total coins, I found 3 90%, 47 40%, and the rest (10) were clad, and all were Kennedy's. I'm thinking I need to quit while I'm ahead; I can't see this happening again any time soon. Now I'm...

I am on Time Warner RR in Maine and I am tryimg to determine if the problem with MANY incomplete files is because of RR or the person posting the binaries. RR seems to be fine for awhile and then it gets real bad for complete posts. Is this something I can bring up to their tech...

I have listed a new, unused copy of ROMAN IMPERIAL COINAGE volume IV - PERTINAX TO URANIUS ANTONINUS, by MATTINGLY, H., SYDENHAM, E.A. & SUTHERLAND, C.H.V. on Ebay. It is a NO RESERVE auction with a starting bid of JUST ONE DOLLAR! NEW & undamaged. Printed in London by Spink in 1998. This is...

The show, in a word, was a little disappointing. We arrived in LV Thursday just about the time they let dealers in for setup. As is typical, some dealers won't even let you set up before they want you to stop everything and let them look at coins. This show was 80% gun show and 20% coin show. We...

I was poking around the US Mint web site this morning and found this amusing. "In order to ensure the broadest and most fair access to United States Mint products, a limit of 5,000 units per order and per household is in effect. Accordingly, all orders for American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce...

Hello, I was wondering if some of you experts or those that have had coins graded could tell me how finger prints effect grading. For example if I had a nice key date Walker at some MS grade (which I do not), but it had some light finger prints, how would that effect the grading? How about serious...

Howdy, friends! The calendar keeps moving right along and it's about time to get the Holiday Swap 2006 event underway! (NOTE: This post is not for the gathering of enrollments; stay tuned for more on that to come.) There were no takers to my offer a few months ago for me to step aside and...

Secrets of Stock Pickings (Golden Rules): I belong to a category, what they term as 'Small Investor'. Often those smart marketing executives from brokerage houses call me with their brilliant market/stock ideas and promise that if I trade with their company they will double my money with in few...

A Mr. Robert Chambers on the *lovely* television extravaganza 'Coin Vault' had a mess of 2006 Silver Eagles that said "1 of the First 50,000 Struck" pasted on NGC slabs. Oh joy! A different pedigree to be collectin'. Mr. Chambers said that the US Mint made around 4,000,000 Silver Eagles on the...

More grist for the mill. The current issue of the ANA's Numismatist, the Nov. issue, begins a series of Consumer Awareness columns exploring ethics in numismatics. In this column the author, Susan McMillan, talks about what a collector's obligation is if he inadvertently sells a counterfeit to...

After much deliberation and agonizing, I bought a new Canon EOS Rebel XTi with 3 lenses, plus 3 Macro lenses and various filters, bags, extra batteries, 2 gig card and what ever else they could think of to sell me. The 10.1 Megapixel is great for detail and the filters sure help with reflected...
