I always get suspicious when I see coins with the design detail, such as the bust and eagle detail worn clean away, yet the leaves and lettering...
Which was the exact point I was making. It it were to become profitable for silver mining to become more than a by-product of other mining, it...
The thing is, there is no reason for it to be higher, regardless of inflation. It has very little common use in the 21st century aside from a...
I think it's a monumental waste of legislative time, much like it was in Utah. The people this might benefit are those anti-government...
I agree with John.
I'm with Mike, silver is still too high. I might stock up if it got down to the $10-12 range, just to sell to those who seem to think it wise to...
Sure, it's got a few issues, but it's still a neat coin. Something about a coin with character adds more personal value than a pristine coin with...
I have my collections cataloged along with instructions, such as where to find current values and markets to pursue if my family wishes to sell....
If you like the way they are presented, keep them framed. They aren't going to be worth more or less either way.
No, not always. Sometimes that may be the case, such as ignorant buyers on Ebay who are buying a number. But go to any large show and try telling...
Like most here, I have met a lot of great people through coin collecting. It's nice to have friends with similar interests, but it goes beyond...

Agreed. My comment was more along the lines of a grader being paid at minimum wage. Guess if people wanted to take that chance SGS would have...
I'm sure you'll take this the wrong way, but if I spent thousands of dollars for someone's opinion, the first thing I'd want is to learn how to...
I think last I figured it up, which was a few years ago, my collection's face value was around $4,500. Of course, more than half of that face...
It means you can probably count on one hand the number of collectors who have the opportunity in their lifetime to own one at any given time. Guy
Very nice piece! I doubt I'll ever own a NC large cent, even with holes, so I'm jealous to say the least. Guy
I've often thought of joining just for the library. Right now I'm just paying dues to too many other places.
I always wondered how people with 9-5 jobs did anything. How do they bank, go to the post office, or any other civic office? Guess I've always...
I find it hard to take bitcoins seriously. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's creators are trying to live out their sci-fi fantasies by...
