I'd say that you will more likely find counterfeit gold bars than old gold coins. Tungsten (wolframs or W) is often used with a gold plating. It...
I sure agree. I have a few Liberty $20 coins:[ATTACH]
OK, I took a few shortcuts. It's still 97% gold.
It is about 10% copper. The later Saints and Liberty $20 coins weigh in at about 1.16 oz. - 1.19 oz. on my digital scales. I was ignoring the...
I just don't understand why old gold coins (like the Saint-Gaudens) can sell for a smaller margin above gold spot price than a new gold coin? I...
This is very helpful. Thanks. BID $1,189.30 ASK $1,190.00 It's a $2.50 gold piece or 8% of a $20 Double Eagle? The gold is worth $86?
Yes, FDR did ban private ownership of gold in 1933 after the U.S. Mint offered 445K 1933 $20 Saint-Gaudens (very valuable). Yet, there are...
I wouldn't buy a fake even if it was gold and at melt value. I'd have to think the gold was stolen and re-cast to hide its past. Otherwise, why...
The Saints are my favorite, but I think the Liberty may be a better buy (it sells for close to melt here for even the lower mintage dates). I just...
I happen to like the common date "Saints". Here is my first one: [IMG] I own the 1927 in my avatar as well as several other ones. I just like them.
I think the hobby will thrive in the future generations.
Wow, those are good fakes. I saw a slabbed one graded MS-6O that was FS at $16,000 a few months ago. I don't collect in that price range but...
Barron's magazine 9-17-2018 Me: It has been around 1 to 85 for several months.
I think so. The current bid on silver melt is $14.04. I did a big trade for silver melt coins back in June this year at $16.85. I received X12 for...
Nice looking coin. I've been buying them for many years and have over 200 coins. Most are MS and some are circulated with rare dates. I buy at...
Sorry, I just saw your post. http://atlcoin.com/ So the next coin show is this Sunday 9-9-18. I'll be there in a red shirt. PM me if you are...
Thanks Jason, I have bought about 100+ old silver and old gold coins over a couple of decades. I may be about even money today (averaging in...
Aren't the buyers creating a futures option? They are not trading in an actual coin but in a futures contract? I don't get it.
I am going to try it first on my silver melt coins. I've used acetone for many years to clean old forged steel guns (another hobby). It's a harsh...
It's 20-30 dealers with a lot of interested buyers. There are about 6 million folks in the Atlanta Metro area. The entry fee for buyers is no...
