Charmy, thanks for the as-always entertaining show report.
I see nothing to indicate it is either slabbed or cleaned. It appears to be an ordinary Morgan being sold by someone who doesn't know about coins...
Agree. Unless the coin is rare or unique, grading adds no numismatic value, only collectible value -- to those who enjoy collecting them.
I'll admit that much of my attachment to gold and silver is simply an emotional feeling of security that comes with owning them. If I were...
I own physical silver and gold simply as a way to diversify my investment portfolio but they are often touted as a hedge against inflation, which...
Very nice coins. I have tried to get interested in GSA CC Morgans but the logical side of my brain somehow cannot get past the inconsistency of...
Great post. Unfortunately, these people are the same ones who create problems everywhere they go -- Walmart, Amazon, department stores, the local...

I too like the Britannia and have the 2009 and 2010 proofs. I'll get a 2011 although the photos I've seen concern me a little. But I'm sure the...

Coin price guides have always been a bit of a mystery to me. Where do Greysheet/Bluesheet ask/bid prices come from? How do RedBook and Bluebook...
I just attended a coin show this weekend and about every other vendor had CC Morgans in GSA holders -- hundreds of them. Prices seemed to be about...
Nice rationalization for a gutsy move. I hope it all works out in the long run. Personally, I have stuck it out, as others here have suggested is...
Pobjoy Mint in the UK makes all the Isle of Man coins and you can see from the link below they not only have coins about cats (an entire series)...
I too was at the Dalton show this morning and was pretty impressed with the number and variety of vendors -- and the large number of attendees....
