In reality, very few modern commemoratives ever sell out. Those that come to mind are the 2001 Buffalo, the 2006 Franklin, 2009 Lincoln and 2010...
I agree the topics selected for modern commemoratives are very uninspired and bland. Coupled with the fact there is only about $25.00 worth of...
Doug, Could you expand upon that, please? Thanks.
As global payment systems become more and more electronic, the issue of what is on our coins and currency may soon be a moot point. I'm sure the...
Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
Isn't that close enough for government work? Apparently, Francis Scott Key had a premonition in 1812 he was going to write a poem, but didn't...
The prices of the ATBs have been restated with no change. They are still $204.95. That was sure a useless exercise. "Oh, a wise guy, eh?"
I'm not a fan of slabs at all and will hold a coin by the rim, if it is reeded. If I do hold a coin on the obverse/reverse, I use a jeweler's...
Hey! Where have you been? I haven't seen you around here in ages. Welcome back!
This thread came to mind due to the fact the Mint sometimes takes a very long time to reprice items when there is a movement in precious metals...
I think a person's collecting philosophy is also a factor. For me, I don't care a lot about a coin's current value or future value. My primary...

Thanks for the advice. I paid $35.00 for them, so I'd be willing to take a little less just to be rid of them.
Yes and yes. Also, you have to hope it all gets there. If you don't have too many, it may be much simpler to go to your local coin dealer. In any...
I have 5 slabbed Canada Grizzlies MS-67 that have a good amount of good old Royal Canadian Mint milky residue on them. I took them to a coin...
You are a kindred spirit of mine. Unfortunately, due to the grading game, there are probably those who would consider buying a turd, if it was...
I am setting as a goal obtaining a really nice bullion coin this year. I have never spent this kind of "moon" money on a single coin before. My...
Modern Coin Mart has it for $59.00, plus $6.00 shipping, if you want to avoid Paradise Mint. I'm an avid non-slabber of bullion, so I have a...
Krup, I have only ever purchased from larger dealers and sold to smaller coin dealers. The issue has never been initiated by them when I was...
