That has worked to this point but many of the most popular "keys" in US coinage are too expensive for the vast majority of collectors, even in...
Yes, the 1889-CC in MS-64 is "rare" but NGC and PCGS have still graded over 100 as a 64 or a higher grade, though I presume there are many...
There are no rare Morgan dates. The 1893-S is the most expensive and one of the least available dates yet is estimated to have 10,000 survivors...
Its ultimately a personal preference. I presume some like it but most consider it what it is, an eyesore and a striking defect.
Truer words in numismatics have never been spoken. :)
The NGC (Krause) price guide value is probably just "made up" but buyers have used it as its "real" market value because they believe in error...
Rare coins are not commodities and are not a substitute for commodities either. But then most likely, the coins you have in mind are not remotely...
To my knowledge, the primary reason many world coins sell for less outside the United States is because of TPG or the potential TPG grade. A...

No. NGC and PCGS attribute varieties, errors and strike designations. NGC also uses the star (*) designation for "eye appeal". Die cracks don't...
I don't believe most Mercury dime set collectors consider it necessary for a complete set. Comparing the mintage with the 16-D is an apples to...
Which one is it? I have never bought from one but there are members of the NCG and PCGS forums who have, such as Kunker. On import duty, my...
You are right, I do have a different point of view. I had to refresh my memory on the definition on don't see why exchange rules should be biased...
I wouldn't want that coin and the only reason I can see anyone else wanting it is because they want to complete the set. I would rather buy a...
There is no need for another commemorative commemorating yet another event that isn't actually that significant.
On which instruments do you believe short selling restrictions should exist? I have shorted any number stocks and ETF's and can't think of a...
I'd describe it as an interesting piece of art that maybe I would want for twice its bullion value but nothing more. I'd use it as a knick knack...
