Thanks for this post. This is the first I've heard of CAPS albums. I love them, but dang it would cost me $1k-$2k just in albums and air-tites to...
I think many collectors see themselves as dealers and are only willing to pay 'dealer' prices or close to them.
This is very surprising to me. Is this true of eBay auctions too or are you primarily referring to the Heritage/Stacks/Sothebys type auctions?
Thank you for this. This has been really enlightening. I certainly fall under the second dealer category you outline above (tend to price fairly...
I could not agree more. Unfortunately I think we will see a similar trend, but not as drastic, as what we’ve seen with sports card values. The...
I really appreciate the thoughtful reply GDJMSP. I am familiar with your posts here and I respect your opinion greatly. Thank you for the...

I like to call myself an opportunist collector. Very rarely will I buy something on impulse. I suspect there are an increasing number of online...

This looks like Head of 1793 with rounded relief, minimal obv denticles, the head lower on the obv, and the cap more upright than the Head of 1794...
Hi All, Other than the apparent cleaning, does it look authentic? I'm concerned about the lack of relief even though details are there. Thoughts?...
Hi All, This one is not nearly as sexy but other than the apparent cleaning does it look authentic? I'm concerned about the lack of relief even...
Yes, if you want to pay up for them. Slabbed AU DETAILS coins sell for $200+. Slabbed UNC DETAILS coins sell for $1000+. Big difference. I agree,...
Good point.
:happy: Yeah I did not think so. It does not look like soldered material on the back due to reverse details still remaining. Hmm...
What is it that I have here? It does not appear to have been doctored when I looked at it with magnification.
