In the 1970's, old and tiny houses near Washington DC doubled in price in about 3 years. In the 90's, it was more like 6 years to double. In the...
We are part of the problem as long as we are willing to buy slabbed coins and remove them. When it is not profitable, it will stop. Slabs are...
I believe a good part of the reason an auction house would not guarantee a slab is that their 'good pair of eyes' could not evaluate a coin once...
