[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My favorite coin is this 1964 D Washington Quarter, struck through cloth. I believe the reverse has a misaligned die...
You are correct: Executive Order 6102 (constitutional?) did not make the ownership of all gold illegal. Thankfully, federal agents did not stop...
It is always a market but it is not a free market. When FDR made ownership of gold illegal, that was a market in which "buyers, sellers, hedgers,...
My point is that paper is used to manipulate the prices of PM, e.g., physical silver. There is not enough silver to deliver on the paper...
The answer is yes, bullion has lost its sparkle but as far as US pre-1965 silver coins, the answer is no. Paper precious medal (PM) contracts...
I did not say the words were interchangeable. I said that the term "rare" is defined by numismatists but I do not see as definitive a definition...
The words "rare" and "scarce" are thrown around loosely by sellers. A coin is "rare" only if a few examples are known to exist. The word "scarce"...
I am sure the Mint will sell out the 15,000 it mints but I won't buy one. I do most of my collecting in the US pre-1965 coin era but if I see a...
If Samuel Beckett were alive and a member of Cointalk, he would make PM bugs his main characters in Waiting for Godot. We buy silver or gold at...
This Morgan has everything going for it as a circulated example. Not that there is anything wrong with a mint state coin that is "blast white," so...
Superb eye appeal. A great addition to any Morgan collection. I think your coin qualifies as a "CircCam." What is a CircCam? Here is a Cointalk...
Nice looking, authentic Morgan. Bid may seem low (currently about $330) but I suspect it will go for about $600 by the time bidding ends.
I may be severely attacked for this but in my opinion the 1879 CC is overpriced. I own a VG/F example but I can't get myself to buy a higher grade...
Exceptional coin and eye appeal. A candidate for a CAC sticker?
Every collector with a commemorative, Civil War token, British token, etc., that was graded by PCGS or NGC may disagree with you on this. Why can...
Is this a Barber coin? I ask because part of Lincoln's beard is missing. If this cent was struck through grease, as I suspect it was (agreeing...
I immediately thought of the dime struck on a nail. I recall reading that this was not an "error" in the traditional sense of the word since it...
I posted above but I guess it bears repeating that the 1916 Mercury Dime was a "high relief" coin that was struck on a different planchet, causing...
The 1916 Mercury Dime was a "high relief" coin that was struck on a different planchet, causing depth or fins that are distinctive from the rest...
Rick Tomaska just fell over in his chair realizing he's going to have to redo his "rarity" sheets that list the mintage and numbers of NGC and...
