In the past, I would have said its a nice 55-58. Today, maybe 62.
I like my avatar, especially since my daughter is named Irene (I sure picked an expensive coin name for her). Others would be my Antony and...
Usually the presale all ends at the same time. Then the live auction happens. Let's say you bid $1000 and the next closest competitor to you on...
The whole coin was cleaned at a minimum, with the area you are referring to scrubbed and polished. That is at a minimum, and @okbustchaser very...
Maybe not sir, but let me ask you this. Its your money, and you have the chance to buy an ounce of gold. Are you more comfortable buying a bar or...
I find the interplay between numismatic and junk values interesting. It is not set in stone, but most coins are numismatic valued at low enough...
Ugh......... I had no idea. I literally told him it was probably worth $20 back in the early 1990's. Good gosh. I literally cannot believe it. His...
I would agree with the EAC grade. No circulation wear I see, but lack of luster means tons of tiny disruptions to the fields. Classic what a 61...
I always wondered, is a solid 9 serial number worth much? I had a friend in the army who always carried one around he found to cheat on dollar...
I agree. We make more "junk" silver every year. When silver got above $35 I remember coin shows having overflowing garbage cans of mint plastic...
Some melt world coins, damaged coins, etc. Sometimes to round out an order and junk is moving slow they might melt, but most of the time they...
Yeah, this. A small coin you will have thinner plating, making it easier to spot a plated example. With this, they don't even have to plug, they...
Just because it gets sent to a smelter does not means it gets melted. Some of the largest sources of junk silver bags are smelters. Smelters can...
That book had a tendency to warp. Yours looks like it is in good shape.
Lots of series are like this. I find a coin already in the US usually is cheaper than one still in the source country. Its weird, but it works...
I don't remember him saying that sir. I was speaking generically concerning all such items bought by the public.
Most of this stuff rolls off my back. If people do not wish to research what they are buying, that is on them. This one, though, I have always...
They have two eagles in order to call them "double eagles". They are not US coins, most likely not gold or silver, just clickbait numismatic-like...
Most moderns you will lose long term buying from the mint. Buy aftermarket after they are a few years old. Also, premium on tiny gold always...
I see pm's being kind of dead in the water for a while going forward. I am not a big fan of bank stocks but some financials should do well. Big...
