Without knowing anything about it, I still consider it a virtually guaranteed long term money loser at this value. I expect the number of...
My sentiments exactly.
My suspicion is that these third parties you reference are exaggerating their claims and maybe substantially. On the rest of your post, you...
What is your definition of "low mintage". To give you one example, my favorite is the 1911-2011 dual dated centennial anniversary set for the...
There are people who buy coins primarily for "investment", probably at least tens of thousands considering the active collector base in the US...
Who are these "analysts" and coin buyers who are supposedly excited? Sounds like someone trying to dupe an unsuspecting buyer to me.
Except in isolation, nobody really knows who owns what and their financial circumstances. I believe (but do not actually know) that coin...
The evidence I have doesn't demonstrate coins provide protection against inflation. In the 1970's, the Red Books I own show many exploded but the...
The income flow from the vast majority of stocks in the form of dividends and debt from interest payments is an absolute pittance. This is the...
I expect prolonged deflation in asset prices and possibly temporary deflation in goods and services prices. If it happens, gold and silver are...
Your avatar looks like a proof so I presume you know this already. Most earlier (1916 and before) US proofs either aren't or don't seem to be...
I was guessing, as I really do not know and have never bid in a GC auction. I do know that auction firms allow consigners to bid on their on...
I don't consider coins "investments". Same applies to stocks, bonds and commodities. All of them are a form of speculation. It is possible to...
81. I did a search this morning. Quite a few sold for over $100 but every one I saw had one bidder which to me potentially means the lot was...
You should check Great Collections. There are a couple that sold for less than $50 in PCGS 69. One also sold for about $150 late last year....
Yes, the difference between a 67 and 69 (or any other two grades) makes a difference. Also, in the numbers I provided, there may be some...
The demand for many US coins with "problems" is a lot more robust versus most coins from elsewhere. As an example, if I collected them, I might...
I just did an internet search for the '81 proof set mintage. It shows just over 4MM. Dividing by 11 to come up with your minimum ratio implies...
Rarest is probably my 1810 NGC AU-55 Chile (mint mark "So") Lion & Castle quarter real. Its the only one I have seen and is not included in the...
Not singling your coin out but I would not rely on Krause prices. The evidence proves they are mostly just made up and have no resemblance to...
Separate names with a comma.
