Always good to keep treasures in the family.

Sorry to hear of your predicament.
I am in a similar boat. That is why I've had a difficult time posting over the last year.
It's hard getting old, but it beats the options.
Take care and know that I appreciate your contributions.

Great photos.

Shades of Edward Bernays.

As the sun is going down, it is time for the annual ritual of discharging firearms. I believe this was recommended by Thomas Jefferson as the proper way to celebrate Independence Day. And this is one way our neighbors stay in touch. I was encouraged to use a Spanish Miquelet, but will probably opt f...

Nice.

I'd say your uptick arrived. I'm more of a stacker than a market speculator, so an increase in metal prices leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand an increase in price makes it harder to stack, but it does reinforce my belief that the market needs a correction.

I was thinking Navajo code talkers, but then I'm not one of the Star-Bellied Sneeches.

I believe that GC is on the right track to taking over, and there are several things they could do to hasten the process. One, might be to find a mutually beneficial agreement with ANACS to promote VAMs, as PCGS and NGC only recognize a small percentage of all VAMs. Two, might be to invest in better...

It would be cool if "Life Member" could be added for those who qualify.

I really like that idea. It's sort of the green bean of polo shirts.

I did. Cost me $11. But that was a few years ago. If I recall correctly, it was the first '83-CC VAM-2 registered with the SSDC. All part of the fun.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations. That is a lot of hard work.

chgolaw1 "Is there a reason that PeaceVam Junkie was mentioned on this thread?" Yes. Just shooting from memory, about 10 years ago Pat made some suggestions on posting in the discussion page of VAMworld 1.0. And one of the comments he made was something to the effect of "people may not be responding...

I'm not sure I understand the problem. A discussion about metal prices, past present and future, is a logical extension of our collective interests. After all, I did not see any objections to other topics that were not VAM related. Threads have been posted concerning the structure of the mints, the ...

It brings to mind the Valentine's Day Massacre.
Great work.

I knew what happened, and thought it was funny. I didn't point it out to be the grammar police, but so that others might get a chuckle. No need to apologize.

I'll take one in Black size 2XL.
Just tell me where to ship payment.

And I promise not to eat like a glutton anymore.
