Rest easy Randy . . . as long as you're willing to leave enough on the table for a bullion dealer to make a decent profit on the transaction, you...
For the longest time I used to buy coins out of my income from work . . . maybe 15% of my take-home pay. I no longer do that, now buying only...
This recommended solution should work. If you have some ink stubbornly hiding in scratches in the holder, you'll probably need to buy some "Slab...
I try to pay sellers within minutes of purchase. I do not require immediate payment from buyers, but do appreciate it. If I haven't received...
After further inspection, I take it back . . . just MS62, no 63.
You may use the plastic NGC boxes, and instead of putting 20 holders in one box, put 19 in, with the slabs installed diagonally, so one edge of...

I am only an advocate of selling gold when you know you can replace it for less than you sold it for. If the market is rising steadily, as it...
I think this coin grades more like AU55.
A couple more newps: A nice scarce 1840 Dime with Drapery . . . [ATTACH] [ATTACH] A nicely toned better date 1870 Dime graded AU50 by ANACS ....
I'm not sure I have a numismatic specialization anymore. I've been through many phases since I began (like Randy, back in 1969). I suppose...
It sure does . . . While they have done a great many things to hurt their business, the worst thing they can do is make buyers believe that other...
I'm not sure I agree with most opinions that the coin is under graded. Unless my eyes deceive me, Miss Liberty's cheek and jaw look a little...
Has anyone here noticed that the bay is struggling? [ATTACH] Nope, everything's just fine here, these are not the droids you are looking for . . .
