Darn--I woke up real early--flipped on the TV and there was a complete lack of Coin Vault. On both channels that it used to be on at this early hour. Is it dead? That was always a good comedy to watch this time of day. A few weeks back they arrested a group of guys around here who had gone door to...

Those of you buying silver, what is the most economical way to buy bullion where you actually take delivery of it? Local dealers seem to charge a good bit over spot in my area. ($2 - $3 per ounce on small buys) I'd like to start buying 4-5 ounces a week. maybe more depending on spot.

Where can I get an up-to-date price list for civil war and store tokens? Is one available on the internet? Thanks. thelivinglady

I haven't actively collected coins in quite some time; however, my two young boys are getting interested... so they are each going to start collected Lincoln Cents. I have my old Whitman book holders. What is the best holder to use for a Cent collection? Thanks for the advice! Darrell

Hi I ran into another problem, of how to retract a bid. I accidentally bid on the wrong coin- my fault for being in so much of a darn hurry. I emailed the seller, and he wont cancel the bid, but he said I can retract it myself. How do I do this? I read ebays rules and they don't apply to this...

I recall back in the late 70s and early 80s that my cousin, a collector at the time, would go to the bank and get bags of coins and sift through them looking for old silver ones, or wheaties, buffaloes, etc... Is there still opportunity in doing this? Are there any other areas for lucky...

Last night I took the little woman out for a bite of supper. Our waitress was an energetic, very enthusiastic young person whom I doubt had yet reached her 19th birthday. She had commendable skills at waiting tables, and my wife even commented to me during our meal that the lass was really good at...
