Just goes to prove again a collector needs to know what they are doing themselves, and never rely on dealers completely. Nice coin excepts for...
PM always goes up in times of economic uncertainty, as well as premiums dealers charge. Even market is not a good proxy for what it costs to buy...
OP, I would add to your listing of memorable internet dates for ancient collectors when Moneta-L was founded. I was getting bored with US around...
Fantastic pieces @DonnaML . I only have some antiquities. For some reason I never really got into them as much as coins, maybe due to space. My...
$5 indians as far back as I can remember have never had a larger premium than the liberty heads as far as I remember. All $2.5s do, and the $10...
I think they do not want to be bothered. They can prosecute here. Charge the dealer with a crime unless he shows who sold to him, work up the food...
Is this supposed to be a new standard 1 ounce coin produced for years like the ASE?
I view the 1822 as a "legitimate" rarity, meaning its a proper, legal US coin and not some "dark of the night" invention of greedy mint workers....
He went nuts, declaring himself the "new Hercules", renaming Rome after himself, "Colonia Commodiana" or Colony of Commodus. Change the name of...
Just saw an email from Kunker. Looks like you will be really excited by their auction 349, huh? :)

Ok, high point wear then. That is the difference between expertise and not. I fully bow my head and state I do not know as much as you do on such...
To some buyers the slab gives them more piece of mind its real. Also, since its a commemorative the fact its 70 might increase value. A commem is...
I do not care what others say it graded in the past. I see obvious high point wear and porosity. I do not think either belong on a gem.
I am working on a proof APE set long term. I own maybe 18 different ones right now. They made the 4 coin sets from 1997-2008, then one ouncers...
Well, I have been looking at the silver market for maybe 40 plus years at this point. One thing I learned, its usually NEVER "to the moon" and...
No, I meant there are TONS of fakes of this coin around. Yours is authentic. I would have suggested you slab that one, in order to get maximum...
I think its a poster child for rule number one in slabbing: Always know what the coins are and what value they could have BEFORE slabbing. I am...
