Agree 100%. People no longer have to leave their house to attend shows and find coins. I enjoy the conversation with dealers I buy from. I...
I have my fingers crossed that Central States and the ANA in Chicago happen in 2021. I will be there checking out the hobby and supporting a few...
If numismatics is dying why do I keep getting outbid at Heritage, Stacks and GC? Sometimes I get the feeling dealers are all there bidding...
Yes, and if you have never held one give it a try at the next big show you attend. They are interesting in both NGC and PCGS. Different sizes...
Maybe even better than pretty decent :) Nice coin. My collection has started to attrack branch mint Half Eagles.
I was thinking the same thing.
Looking back is always fun. Around 2002/2003 Double Eagles were going for $400-500 at Heritage Auctions but $85 would be crazy.
Always interesting looking back. It would be interesting to compare the prices of the Liberty Double Eagles that were scarce back then and now...
When I go to buy Walkers as 90% silver I ask the dealer if he has any EF coins in stock. I don't say EF40 or EF45. If I am typing about a coin...
Thanks for sharing this one. I really like the OBV mint mark coinage of that year. Hoping to add a few branch mint 39's. It's an AU but hard to...
You are all starting to make me wish I had kept my high grade Peace Dollars. It is a beautiful coin.
Another high pop, high price coin is the 1911D (Strong D) Quarter Eagle. It too is coming down in price. There are almost 500 MS63 at PCGS and...
The Photograde app from PCGS is the best way to judge grade. They have samples of every grade. Many times the hardest part is telling if the...
Good to see the bigger shows are taking place. I am hoping the Central States show and ANA happen in 2021 as well.
I handled a slabbed puck at the ANA last year and I do have to say it is a crazy experience. That is one large slab and not very common at shows....
Part of me would love to see $3000 in 2023 but then part of me says "what coins are you going to be willing to part with?". That is one problem...
Coins really take a beating. Amazing when you see great looking coins in circulation. Thanks for sharing this.
I think coins in the new PCGS Gold Shield holders are graded much more accurately then ones from 10 or so years ago. They have corrected their...
Since this started with a discussion of overgraded Saints I thought I would post this one. It is but far my favorite CAC $20 Saint that I own....
The shipwreck gold coins are all over the place in look and quality. Not every CAC gold coin fits my collection, but there are a lot of non-CAC...
