Good questions. Clearly, the whopping 54% premium in 2000 was more favorable to the current 22% premium, assuming, of course, that the dealer got...
It actually makes things harder for dealers too. We have to pay higher prices on the buying side. About the only thing that hasn't gone up a...
The shape of the circled figure doesn't well-resemble an edge of the S mintmark typical of this issue. It's also higher and a bit to the left of...
@ldhair . . . be sure to look at this.
Modest collector, maybe . . . Modest collection, not.

I've wondered the same. That establishing patterns between points of origin and points of disappearance would make investigation relatively easy...
That was a good time to break it . . .
This is going to end up a hundred thousand dollar headache for several folks . . . the owner, the insurer and FEDEX. In this case, I'm confident...
Since these UPS / FEDEX / USPS thefts seem to quietly disappear into history, I surmise that someone is buying these coins up on the sly. . . ....
Several of us know the wares of many of the dealers on the floor at the Whitman Show, if not the dealers themselves, and should be able to point...
