Can't tell the size of the coin from the photos but it appears to be a 1792 Mexican escudos (gold) of either 1, 2, 4, or 8 escudos(can't see a...
Beautiful coins and congrats on the great NGC grades. You've peaked my interest in the Icelandic genre. I'm a sucker for beautiful coins.
I too have admired the gold 20 peso and wish I had a few in my collection. There's an older 1oz silver with the Aztec calendar that is also very...
My newest: 2011 1kg Mexican Aztec Calendar, 99.9% pure, 110 mm diameter, 326 of 1500 minted. Big, beautiful, and expensive. Good investment?...
Roughly speaking it looks to be about XF-AU condition, which makes it worth about $43-$45 retail. My guess is that the lady has more where that...
I have preferred and bought tubes of ASEs, Maple Leafs, and Libertads as opposed to Kaolas, Kooks, Pandas, or others that have higher premiums but...
I see what appears to be a little wear in the hairline and on cotton bolls/leaves, so I'll go with a AU 55/58. But grading on photos is always tough.
And since the Mint doesn't sell ASE's directly to customers, only to dealers, there's the Mint mark-up and the dealer's mark-up. Everybody in the...
With spot prices over $40 for silver and $1600 for gold, is anyone still buying bullion? I'm not an "old-timer" in this area (bought my first...
I would say that if you are buying direct from China, you have about a 90% chance you are getting fakes. When you get your coins, compare details...
Uh, I thought it was just the opposite: Silver is for investors and gold for speculators
Do you think the gold coloring on the 1st coin is toning? It almost looks like a gold paint applied long ago since the color is mainly in the...
I recently acquired a small Morgan collection, including these two coins, which to me are not attractive. Since I am relatively new I don't know...
Congrats on the front-page article. I haven't read it yet but from the comments so far, you've done a fine job. I'm responding to your comment...
I bought my first (and only) gold last year, all 2008W Gold Eagles: 1/10 oz UNC burnished 1/4 oz UNC burnished Boxed UNC burnished set...
Small amateur investors, like Mr. Zometsky, do incredibly stupid things (buying when prices are peaking) but I don't believe they, as a group,...
Call me ultra conservative but I bought big when spot was $15-$17 and stopped buying at $20 -- and haven't sold anything. The current market is in...
Right on! It's not clear what those who are preparing for the "ultimate outcome" are thinking. In the most extreme of outcomes, chickens and...
Haven't bought since before $20, wish I had, but not sure, probably shouldn't have. The FUD factor is in control -- Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt....
Great coin. I'm still looking for my first CC. I've looked at several at coin shows and just can't seem to get over the heavy bag marks, which has...
