Hi I have 15-20 tokens from "Wednesday company". I got them from a friend, but he didn't tell me what they are from. Does anybody has any idea? They are the size of a quarter, gold color, and on one side they have "Wednesday company" written, and on the other side there's an eagle with "No cash...

Since the Euro people have now accepted the inevitable and started having coins with zero rotation between obverse and reverse, instead of the ugly and counterintuitive 180 degrees, that leaves the US as the only major country with that silly system. I suggest therefore that, in view of the fact...

Going off the gold standard gave the government new tools to steer the economy. If you're not tied to gold, you can adjust the amount of money in the economy if you need to. You can adjust interest rates. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/04/27/135604828/why-we-left-the-gold-standard JAM

One of the coins in a collection bequeathed to me by my father is an 1859 Canadian cent, with plain narrow 9, graded at F-15. Checking the Charlton Catalogue, I see that these were minted in both bronze and brass. If this coin is bronze, Charlton says it's worth about $10, but if it's brass, it's...

Democrats in the House passed so-called hate crimes legislation and the bill is now on the fast track to the Senate. It must be stopped, now, before liberals succeed in sneaking it through the Senate! Proponents of this so-called hate crimes legislation tell you that it cannot be...

I have an 1861 2 1/2 dollar gold coin (a quarter-Eagle) in a ring. I know that having been in a ring diminishes it's value. But the front appears to have all of the detail that I see in an ad for an uncirculated 1861 quarter-Eagle. The back, of course, has excellent detail. I would think an...

This auction is for the VIP Sacagawea struck by James Benfield, the late head of the Coin Coalition and the father of the Sacagawea dollar.

The APS (main stamp collecting organization in the US) is working with Ebay in cracking down on fake, facsimilie and reproduction stamps. Stamps have to be clearly marked as such on the stamp itself. Of course you can see what I am leading to. - If the APS can work with Ebay on cracking down on...

When I moved here to Independence, Missouri back in 1993, I bought a coin/medallion from a little shop down on the Square. I don't remember what I paid, but it wasn't much. The coin has a bust of Harry on the head-side. On top it says "Harry S. Truman"; on the left, "1884"; on the right, "1984";...

What can one do for the upcoming coop/riots other than have food storage, silver coins coins for barter, a wheel barrel for cash, own your assets, guns and ammo, family plan of action, praying, saying of rosary, etc? etc. I feel that we will not win both houses in the election and "president"...

Has anyone done this before? The buyer wants it sent registered mail. How many hoops does the PO make you jump thru for this? Do you have to do the custom declaration etc? I've sent things to Europe before but never done registered mail.

Maybe you can help. I would like to purchase 2 coins in the $150 ea. range for my two 5-year-old nephew’s birthdays. A coin that may, over the next 15 years, appreciate well. Any suggestions and where I might purchase them? Thanks.
