When you think of what your collection is "worth", do you deduct the 20-25% commission you would need to pay to sell? That is the problem I see...
Many say that, yet it has never been young kids who drive this hobby as new collectors. Almost all young kids lose interest when they discover...
I would say @kanga has the best solution. What you paid is knowable, "value" is not, really. This is all fine and dandy, and I know a lot of...
@Orfew , it is your hobby and only you know how to best enjoy it. I tried to limit myself, I tried a lot of things, but I figured I would collect...
Great coin. Looks like a mule with another quadrans reverse. I have never seen one either, (and trust me I try to check out any rhinos I ever...
I simply find it fascinating a coin from Arabia clearly has a Bactrian camel portrayed, not an Arabian one. The only idea I can come up with is...
I was looking for the oddity that is the reverse of both of our coins. What is really out of place with it?

For collecting I will NEVER doubt a person's purchases. Its your hobby, buy what is attractive to you. If someone is talking about bullion...
Thank you for yours sir.
That is the unknown. You never know what confidence the buyer will have in the form of silver you own, what discount or premium they will assign...
2017 were supposed to be rarer from what I heard. Still, if you are stacking, I will wager you will be happier owning ASEs than a foreign issue...
Because one the toning just looks wrong, and two, well circulated coins do not have the lustrous surfaces to tone prettily. As a soon to be...
Not to be rude, but it seems like you have had more than enough opportunity to vent your grievance sir. Roma has responded, (which is rare for a...
Yes. Look to grade bumps that you have a huge up charge, and you can pretty much bet the lower grade population is inflated by resubmits. If a 65...
OTOH, there really is no debate that slabbers standards have weakened over the years. That is why older slabs are sought after and looked at so...
