Correct. My 1965 Red Book lists the 16-d at $1000 in "UNC". The 09-S VDB at $335. Both of these coins were very expensive at the time, far...
The 16-d is a "key" date in all grades. I suppose the 21 and 21-d might be to Mercury dime collectors (that's how I used to think of it) but I...
Those PCGS estimates are a complete fantasy and can't be remotely accurate. The mintage for both is over one million and modern style collecting...
This, but generally because the series I collect are disproportionately actually hard to buy. I don't get any satisfaction (at all) from owning...
My post wasn't rude. My post wasn't directed at you, you are not the thought police on this forum and I'm not going to write my posts to please...
JFK's birth isn't significant, except to those who view that era as some sort of golden age and attribute it to him when he wasn't responsible for...
Isn't that the truth.
I don't pay as close attention to the financial markets as I did in the past, but when I did, I also read up on historical events and prices. The...
I actually don't think it (Brexit) will ever happen, though it should.
Silver is more of an industrial metal than a monetary one and is viewed that way. This is the best explanation for the current gold/silver ratio...
ASE are primarily bought and sold as bullion but the collector base for those in Third Party Grading (TPG) service holders such as NGC and PCGS is...
At $100/month, some don't mind dollar cost averaging. I would rather save my money up and buy more at once, though it depends what you are...
I'm with you on this subject. For a type set, I would prefer a more common coin in better quality. I don't follow 3CS and this coin apparently...
From a value standpoint, I think the coin is far too worn to be worth much, even though buyers will pay for the countermark. There may be someone...
This would be a lot less important if the price level were more normal and the price spreads narrower. The US price level is an outlier and in...
You are right. I didn't mean literally a scam as in dishonest. What I meant is that no value would be exchanged for regrading because it isn't...
I didn't mean that grading is a scam. I meant that a change to the grading system to a 100 point scale will be one. This is exactly what I...
If the scale is ever changed to 100 as used by CGS of the UK now, it will be a complete scam. The grade on the holder has little to do with...
I presume most if not all of the replies here are for grading of US coins so I'll answer for world coins, particularly those I collect. NGC and...
I'd say the number of collectors who fit "Top Out of Sights" profile is approximately zero. The number of "super rich" who are coin collectors is...
