Yep. I think gold is in for a big price adjustment, sooner rather than later.
This thread inspired me to pick up an 1893 Isabella in higher grade. I haven't seen the one I bought myself nearly a decade ago after stashing it...
When the capstone of the Washington monument was made in 1884, Aluminum was a precious metal. Advances in electric generation technology quickly...
Perfect! Kind of surprising that someone running for such an obscure post would have made aluminum medals at that early date. In 1918, aluminum...
Couldn't make that out. Looks like 4 letters, ending in "..BY"
This one's in Rough shape, but it's leaving me a bit flummoxed. Even with some major spelling variations, I've struck out on finding any...
The design seems like other merchant tokens of the 1910-1930 era. But, I've had no luck finding any "2 bits" tokens. A phonograph token does...
Would probably be tame by today's standards. But, remember that 1892 was still very much "Victorian". From:...
Imagine that you have an option to get (sight unseen) an MS68 Grant Wood gold 1 oz & a 4-piece matched set of 2007 Platinum in MS70, and only...
It's gone to shipping - I'm guessing I'll have it in my hands for the Grapevine show in February. Anyone else want to put an answer in the poll?
Lacking a command of the Chinese language, I've got little to start with here. Any ideas what this could be? Picked this up in a group of...
Picked this US merchant token up the other day and it's become a head scratcher to research. 24mm (fittingly, about the size of a quarter) with...
Notice received today that it's entering processing with ANACS (I held off a few days on shipping due to the Thanksgiving break). Any other...
The die polish is so extreme it removed one of the leaf stems! Wow. Very nice piece.
Well struck, better centering than most. Au-58 seems well earned. It's right on the edge with MS, but has that lightest touch of wear on the high...
Total production of platinum is a fraction of gold every year, and platinum reserves are dwindling due to use being higher than replacement. If...
The gold was a US mint medal from 1980 slabbed in MS68. The platinum I traded it for was a US 2007 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, & 1/10oz in an NGC set slab...
Sending off to get slabbed now. Bumping to get a few more votes in the poll...
The 1900-O comes in some high value VAMs. Definitely worth checking for the O/CC variety.
The Franklin half's don't seen to get a lot of love as a series. I recently bought a nice collection in a blue book and sent the first 20 or so in...
