...sometimes have a value that is different from the one applied by the
marketplace. Of course, once they've been studied, unless there is an
especially strong reason to keep them back they can very well go to the market.
...If everyone thought that way, there wouldn't be any conflict. But everyone
does not think that way. - Wed, Feb 4 2009 12:51 am

Unfortunately before that happened, "der Dicke" cleverly made fools of the

Die Wacht am Rhein Fest steht und treu die Wacht, die Wacht am Rhein! There's
a different sort of watch kept along the Rhine these days. No longer is it
maintained by German patriots fearing a possible military invasion, instead it
is anxiously kept by German coin collectors who fear that police will invade
their homes to seize their cherished collections. - Wed, Feb 4 2009 5:01 am

...Wouldn't the vast majority of all proof coins minted fail to grade PR70?
They shouldn't by MY standards. And this was never even an issue with modern
proofs before the MS grading system, and especially before we started using
every one of the numbers between 60 and 70. All proofs were considered
perfection. - Wed, Feb 4 2009 5:47 am

BIG BLACK DADDY! - 3 new

I'm James Fenimoore, and, I have been cross dressing for years but have never
gone out in public. I love big black men and dream of the size of their cock

noticed everyone was asleep in the neighborhood as I have always wanted to
dress and go out as a hot whore. - Wed, Feb 4 2009 8:31 am
