other day, I saw a coin at the bottom of the escalator. Of course, I picked it
up. It is a 1999 5¢ (Euro) from France. Second tale: shipped a package at the
local USPS, paid cash and received a 1993 1/10 Balboa from Panama in change. -

2009 High Relief Double Eagle Questions - 2 new
-----------------------------------------------
...The short answer? Since exchange traded gold became popular, it's too high.
Even for a 10oz. bar, you can expect to pay between $35 and $50 per ounce over
spot. My own holdings are in American Eagles, American Arts Commemorative
Medals, and some semi-numismatic items. - Sun, Jan 25 2009 4:16 am

NGC vs PCGS - 9 new
-------------------
In looking over eBay auction prices for modern silver Roosies, it's
interesting to note that PCGS graded MS70 Ultra Cameo/Deep Cameo/Whatever sell
for about 4 times those graded the same by NGC. Now I haven't seen a dime's
worth of difference between PCGS & NGC graded coins of this series, esp. the
modern issues. - Sun, Jan 25 2009 6:58 am
