I do not know if this is the case here, but some auction houses really sell their own coins at auction. Therefore, they have much less desire to...
Just for clarity though, you posted on this same forum yesterday inviting everyone to YOUR new coin forum. Just saying this could have a bearing...
Glad some posted a thread like this. I agree, CT should be about our love of collecting. I am really sorry if some members stop posting because of...
You are correct, sorry. I misremembered, I just remembered nickels are also a good play in change like copper cents, and might be the best play...
You were NOT a worker at the argument clinic....nope, you never were....nuh uh, not going to believe you, it never happened. :) Love that skit.
The law currently says you cannot melt cents or nickels, but plenty of people are betting at some point in the future it will change just like the...
@Ryan McVay welcome man. Took my advice and joined? :) This is Chris Freeman. I talk up Cointalk at our club meetings. Ryan is the president of...

PM always goes up in times of economic uncertainty, as well as premiums dealers charge. Even market is not a good proxy for what it costs to buy...
OP, I would add to your listing of memorable internet dates for ancient collectors when Moneta-L was founded. I was getting bored with US around...
Fantastic pieces @DonnaML . I only have some antiquities. For some reason I never really got into them as much as coins, maybe due to space. My...
$5 indians as far back as I can remember have never had a larger premium than the liberty heads as far as I remember. All $2.5s do, and the $10...
I think they do not want to be bothered. They can prosecute here. Charge the dealer with a crime unless he shows who sold to him, work up the food...
Is this supposed to be a new standard 1 ounce coin produced for years like the ASE?
I view the 1822 as a "legitimate" rarity, meaning its a proper, legal US coin and not some "dark of the night" invention of greedy mint workers....
He went nuts, declaring himself the "new Hercules", renaming Rome after himself, "Colonia Commodiana" or Colony of Commodus. Change the name of...
