  1. Agree! People always complaining about their grades that they got and telling everyone "You need to learn how to grade!" BS! I'll take the word of the NGC & ATS over my grading any day. This is a 'hobby' for me; it's not my profession.
  2. Re-read the info @Coinbuf gave you. In order to maintain the quality of our service and continue to properly and timely serve our members, effective immediately, we are closing CAC collector/dealer membership applications. We will post a notice once membership is reopened.
  3. Buy me! No, no. Buy Me! Wait, I'm better!
  4. Now it's "First Allocation"? What coin dealer dreamed that up. Anything to get in the collector's wallet.
  5. Yep! Kevlar is your best investment today. I got my Level IVA 1155. Stop a Kalashnikov round.
  6. Also, in this Hobby, a few will do anything to get recognition. Conjuring up is just one stone on the path to disappointment.
  7. No, they forget their 'Sign In' names - they have so many.
  8. Well, here is my 'theory' or W.A.G. as one might call it. 1. No one living today knows exactly who owned this 'Hoard' or where this amount of coins came from. I believe, in nother source, RWB mentioned Europe. 2. Now, no one living today can tell us the 'exact' distribution of the Merkers Mine Hoard of NAZI loot. The are records 'missing', lost, destroyed, etc. with a closing statement that after some was returned to Allied coutries the 'remainder' was dispersed to 'Displaced Persons'. Sure it was bcause someone entered that statement into the record.
  9. Roger is correct. The 'State' of Louisiana and it never changed throughout it's history. As our friend @Hoghead515said this would make an interesting discussion.
  10. Would that be the 'Republic of Louisiana' as it neither belonged to the United States or the Confederate States?
  11. I have two 1861 O Half Dollars, graded by NGC, one is 'Louisiana Issue' the other is 'Confederate States Issue'. Very interesting; was Louisiana considered it's own 'Territory'?
