i just saw a virgin islands quarter. it is my favorite and actually the only state quarter design i truly like. it has a sparseness and economy of design that works well. uncluttered, unfettered by background noise and really representative of that part of the world, it looks like the where it's...

Hey, I just made a topic about writing to NAMA, and I'm sending them a letter, and a copy of the three bills I am proposing to Congress, looking for support. But I had a question.

Ok. EBay is where I sell virtually all my coins. It is where I buy most of the coins I buy. Other than eBay, I have bought and sold on Andy's UrBid, mainly because I like Andy and want to contribute, .....well, that's not quite true, I have picked up a few bargains and a number of...

Is there any way to "melt" the copper off of a zinc penny, so that you just have a regular penny made out of zinc?? I know you can file the copper off, etc., but I'm talking about removing the copper in such a way that the coin doesn't look crappy that it looks like a nice coin that was minted that...

I have been reading about the ancient city of Ur, and I was thinking about the numerous shops that apparently were all over the place. Normally we think of barter as what happened before coins, but how could a *shop* operate that way? I mean, suppose I zip down to the local Ur mom-and-pop store and...

I'd like to buy a $1,000 face value bag of silver, especially Kennedy halves. Some questions. What is the total weight of the bag? What is the total weight in ounces of silver in the bag? At $4.84 per ounce of silver, what should I pay for a $1,000 face-value bag of silver?
