I believe many "higher end" US coins won't necessarily be fine price wise. With the highest grades where the (supposed) differences in quality...
For US coins outside of a specialization, I consider this correct.
A decline in the price level for the most expensive or highest graded coins would hardly mean the death of the hobby. This is what I interpreted...
I don't believe the current trend of widening price spreads will continue for the highest graded coins either, across the board. Most of the...
The PCGS and NGC moves into other countries are primarily to capture additional volume of non-US coins, not market US coins elsewhere. As for...
There literally isn't a country in the world where the local population cannot afford to collect their local coinage at much higher prices in much...
I am 100% with you. I see many posts on coin forums wanting coin prices to increase, presumably for what a particular collector owns. I want...
The same could be said of any number of other countries today where collecting is a lot more established and who can far more easily afford to...
Correct. But even for their local coinage, I don't believe most US collectors (and maybe even NGC and PCGS) have adequately considered the supply...
My recollection is that in a prior Legend Numismatics Market Report, it was stated that there are Japanese buyers of classic proof gold. I can...
The answer to your question is that except in isolation, absolutely not. If US collectors think that foreigners will be the source of future...
Distinct possibility though I don't recall the OP admitting it. I agree with the recent posts that even if no legal liability exists, it is a...
I have slightly over 50 pillars from four of the mints, excluding Chile and Columbia which are above the price level I collect. About a dozen are...
This post of yours explain a lot. If you are new to collecting, you should never have bought a $5,000 coin (which apparently you thought is or...
You summed up the situation correctly. And I also agree with the other contributors who take the position that the OP was trying to buy the coin...
I don't have very much reference material because little exists for the series I collect. I would rather spend money on coins I collect than buy...
Yes, I understand the concept your are trying to convey. All I am saying is that the price of gold makes it apparent that in the aggregate people...
Gold is more than just a commodity. It is still treated as quasi-money. Central banks still use it as a reserve asset. If gold was viewed as...
Agree with this summation. The "historical" gold/silver ratio was the result of both being used as money. Additionally, the market price of...
I believe they will "eventually" drop a lot over time, but probably a long time. In writing my prior posts here, I checked a few Lincoln cents in...
