The more expensive Morgan dollars are disproportionately "investment" coins which the 1796 quarter is not, though given its price I presume those...
I believe the metals are in a "correction" to a counter trend rally but the bottom is not in from YE 2011. From 1979, I believe gold is in an...
The price of silver crashed during the Great Depression to 24 or 25 cents an oz. I don't have a chart handy but I have seen it before and others...
I prefer the silver and bronze to the gold solidus which is generically very common and not scarce even in higher grades. I have seen a low...
From 2001 which is when the long term bottom occurred, probably. Silver less certain than gold. I can still see silver breaking the $8.39 low of...
Gold and silver soared from 2001-2008 and then from 2009-2011 without either economic disaster or high inflation, except for those who might...

The first firm was Stack's back in 2005. They disagreed with NGC but took the coins back anyway. My recollection is that they later sold them...
Real auction firms (as opposed to eBay) are unlikely to let you get away with not paying and let you bid again, as others have mentioned here. If...
I don't believe the gold mercury or the other two coins will make any noticeable difference either. It isn't just because the series was issued...
To show that I can agree with cladking on something, I agree that eventually, the perception within the Jefferson nickel series will reflect the...
You are interpreting my posts as demeaning moderns because I disagree with your opinion of their merits. This current debate of ours started...
Wrong. The market is "immature" because most collectors do not want them or don't want to pay more for them and don't share the same inflated...
