Unless I'm missing something (which is possible - most of the replies on this thread have me very confused and wondering if I'm seeing the same OP...
According to another thread in this forum, the CME changed margin requirements for gold (up by 21%), silver (up by 16%) and copper (up by 18%)....
Silver Proof set sales as of 20 September, 2011... 2010 Silver Proof Set sales: 869 for a total of 573,269 2011 Silver Proof Set sales:...
I'm not much of a coin collector, so I can't speak for most modern coins. I heard a lot of chatter about PCGS changing their grading standards...
It is, basically, that: 1) There are many people who collect entire sets (all quarters, all dimes, etc.). People have been collecting proof sets...
Those look like they are on the high side. EBay is showing completed sales of $45 - $75. Note that that proof set "only" has a penny, nickle,...
The silver quarter proof sets are more of a gamble. First, they are sold separately so there are more of them than the half dollar and dime that...
Lets look at the numbers a different way: The 1995 S Silver Proof Half Dollar has recently sold on EBay for $40 - $65. Both the 2010 and 2011 S...
A rally will result in the silver proof sets being pulled from the mint while they are repriced higher (so fewer people would be willing to buy)....
Since I just ordered five of each yesterday, I'm hoping for a nice rally.
How much? Ask your financial adviser. I'm guessing 5% - 10%. Why is your adviser telling you to buy junk silver (as opposed to Silver Eagles...
Per the PCGS grader: the streaks wouldn't affect the grade (not an error, not a variation, not worth thinking about).
Yes.
Grab a decent magnifying glass - the odds are that the brown stuff is from the coin holder and isn't actually on the coin. You need to return...
I bought two batches of the 2010 quarters - one batch around April, which doesn't seem to show the streaking, and one batch a few weeks ago (when...
I don't have access to Coin World, so I can't see the doubling you are talking about. I don't think the streaking is all that rare, so I'm...
I heard back from PCGS: they can't give an opinion on whether or not the coin is damaged without having it in hand. Which means I need to pay...
I just checked four sets. Most of the coins have some level of streaking, but it can be difficult to hold the coin properly (in relation to the...
The images in the thread are the same coin (I took a picture, rotated the coin to change the lighting, took another picture,...). If you follow...
If this ends up being a key date for the quarters (which I suspect is far less likely because they can be ordered without ordering everything...
