And yet, some people like to pay cash for everything. CNBC's long-time contributor, Art Cashin (of UBS and PaineWebber) was one such person. Did...
Probably...I'd rather see a $500 bill with Reagan on it. We can get a jump on the Quintcentenniel. :D But I am sure it would be hoarded and used...
That's Gene Hackman, right ?
OK, my mistake. :D BTW, even when GD disagrees with me, I learn stuff. He and other vets -- maybe yourself -- have spent hours in this hobby...
Wow, I did NOT know that. :wideyed: I suspect that others will chime in here -- pro and/or con -- and I will not have to ask any questions on...
BTW, GD, those Population Reports are -- in the words of Kenny Bania :D -- gold....gold, GD, gold !! :D If somebody had them all digitalized from...
Yes, on that you are 100% correct. I was referring specifically to this wear/rub/friction debate on high points which seems to be THE CRUX of the...
Got it. :D Nah, I'm not that old, GD :D.....but the nuances and subtle differences here really make the argument. You have written some fantastic...
You mean forgiving or ignoring a small amount of rub on a single or multiple high-points, right ? Net-grading, right ? That's what Albanese was...

I guess it's because we think price and grade are linear....they aren't. But as long as 95% or 99% or 99.9% of collectors THINK and ACT that way,...
When I buy one for myself, I like to buy a "quality" bill. But if the low-to-mid 60's is too pricey, then I drop into the 50's.
Very astute observation. :cigar: I noticed that Greensheet article talking about in early-2021 how the Covid buyers were buying raw and...
Wow, I'm not surprised as imaging can look at a coin dozens or hundreds of times per second and analyze every nick and bag mark and measure their...
GD or anybody else, have you seen this interview with John Albanese ? Fascinating, IMO....
There's reference to a BOA report in recent days on gold...and also some accounting of long/short positions (derivatives ?) that "...the Fed knew...
Who are these gold bullion banks ?
I'll admit that settlements and custodial issues are NOT my strong point. What do YOU think this all means. Unless LBMA was short huge amounts...
I'm going to say lagged bigtime. There are simply more bills available for most series than was the case for coins. The latter had millions...
