Ain't history great by
Reid Goldsborough
Thought I'd share some more of what I've been uncovering about a
recent coin purchase, some history that I at least find incredibly
compelling, history that goes well beyond this one coin and is a bit
controversial too.
First, here's the coin again, the third and last one on this...

Terrorism and Counterfeits by
Michael E. Marotta
No multinational corporation suffers a loss when a few thousand fake
ancients or fake Trade Dollars are run off and sold a few hundred at a
time here or there. The key problem with criminality is that it

Frank Provasek
This post seems to be hung up in my out box, so I am repeating it.
