The only reason to slab it is if you want to sell it, particularly now to arbitrage the price difference between raw and graded. The coin is...
I don't know what happened to most UK pre-decimal coinage. My assumption is that much of it has been hoarded - by someone somewhere - just as US...
Yes, but in the 1870's, there weren't very many collectors in the US, so it would not have made any sense to do otherwise. Even today, I don't...
Agreed. I also agree with Kurt that it makes sense that US silver coins have not or might not be melted down in substantial numbers. In other...
The survival rate for many of the most widely collected US "key" dates is not that low. Where the mintage is "low", it is almost certainly above...
To which coins does your opinion apply? In what price range? The biggest problem I have with the PCGS estimates is that there is no sanity check...
I believe the 16-D dime's price is almost exclusively the result of its prior perception when collecting was predominantly out of pocket change....
There is going to be war once the current "contained" depression becomes obvious and later inflation, but first it's a lot more likely there will...
From what I can see, the estimates are not particularly accurate.
It is a nice find but isn't that hard to believe because the coin is almost certainly not remotely as scarce as the consensus seems to believe....
Financially, this is exactly why I expect set collecting to become less popular in the future, even in better grades that discussed here. Most of...
I once won a lot from Noble Numismatics (Australia) that showed up like six months later. So late that I requested a charge back since the firm...
Makes sense. 23 and 14 is a limited production. By point of comparison, GMM struck the 1855 $50 gold restrikes (I believe Moffat & Co). The...
What is the price point for most of his other items? I am dubious these two would sell well, as they would be far above the price point at which...
Noticeably higher inflation will return, eventually. But first, I expect an asset price crash and if this doesn't happen first, I still don't...
Coin prices have been a beneficiary of the greatest asset, credit and debt mania in the history of civilization. In other words, the one which...
Yours is a reasonable approach. The challenge is that it is necessary to correctly anticipate both the trend in the gold price and the changes in...
Neither are likely to substantially outperform. AU SLQ are "collector" coins, not "investment" and most US collectors are presumably worse off...
Agreed. "Investing" is not intended to be fun. Hobbies are for that.
If you are asking for the best numismatic value for the money, it is definitely outside of US coinage. There are a lot of affordable coins from...
