That's what the dealer I spoke with yesterday said. I guess he needed some serious help, was in denial like Sandusky, and someone in jail got...
With both PCGS and NGC running around $25 for their "regular" and "early bird" services respectively and $15 or so for their economy services...
Thanks for that overview, Chris. I have seen the more notable of his books at the public library.
PCGS is now also giving grade level with the no-grade coins like this, but you have to ask for it. So "Fine" or VF details would be a plus to...
A dealer at a show the other day mentioned Walter Breen and what happened to him in his last years. It seems his greatest work in authoring books...
Thanks for the expert opinions. The reserve was around $6K first time around. It should be worth AU58 money anyway and will bid accordingly....
Buy some proof silver eagles. They have been holding their value nicely.
http://teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3254&lot=1726#n This coin has already been through one auction and I was thinking of bidding the...
Good point! You go to a big show, Whitman, the ANA shows, etc. and what do you see predominantly on the bourse floor? Certified common coins,...
What I am passionate about is the proliferation of truth, classical knowledge and culture, and consumer rights. In terms of coins, I get...
I didn't get there until around 1pm so probably much of the good stuff had been snapped up. Buyers like Steinmetz and David Carr were there at...

One advantage with ANACS is if they do call the coin "problem" in whatever form they will list VF25, XF45, AU55, not just AU details. Are they or...
In the last 12 years even well-performing rare coins like this have been out-paced by precious metals. 1660/255 = over 6.5 (gold) 15000/2750 =...
Go get 'em, Coingeezer! Probably a Littleton employee fighting back and paid to do so. They have a lot of mouths to feed up in northern New...
I decided to drive over to the show today as a shop owner friend said it was "better than Baltimore". I can tell you that is not true, but it was...
The better dates and higher grades are desirable to get certified; I don't know what value level would be right to automatically get slabbed,...
I don't "need" what I don't have. I would start a coin education program with examples of almost all issues from ancient Babylon onward and...
That is quite technical! What are you using as your reference book?
Still from a money perspective, gold and silver have done better in XF grade. If you sell a coin you like you may get another chance to buy it...
