Yes, on another forum a guy mentioned that he paid about a 100% premium for $5 Half-Eagles (commons for the most part) about 10 years ago and...
I'll have to subscribe. Sounds like a good source of information, thanks PoW ! That's interesting, I usually just track them in Gem Quality...
Premiums have dissipated as gold has nearly doubled since this thread was started. Common coins with somewhat of a condition rarity -- like...
I should be there to see it. Look forward to catching your presentation and catching up !
You mean they sold at a premium to their silver content but not now ?
When silver moves, traditionally it has been late in the ballgame for PMs. Folks who don't want to spend $3,800 on an ounce of gold will buy 10...
It's supply and demand, as I've been saying for years here as I said we'd go to $5,000 by 2035 (looks like it'll happen sooner). Big...
Where are you coming from, Evan ?
Just booked my hotel reservation for the FUN conference. Will be my 1st time going since 2020 due to Covid, family obligations, etc. Hope some...
The poster responded that the coins were common date Philadelphia Half Eagles....1840’s and 1850’s.....NGC and PCGS 55 holders purchased 2015-17....
The reason I asked is a few friends and a guy ATS mentioned they had bought some Half-Eagles pre-Covid. Gold was around $1,700 or so. They got...
Curious...what are the premiums for these Quarter Eagles in grades just before condition rarity ? I'm wondering what has happened to the...
That's a definite risk with a pricey coin. For what I have paid for silver, it's not a huge risk. But imagine buying that 1995-W ASE in PF70...
If you go down to the MS-69 grade, the price often drops by 25-50%...sometimes more !! :wideyed: Lots of people chasing "perfection" drives up...
If it was a somewhat "rarer" year/mint and if it had a unique holder, you could get a premium when gold was lower. I bought an MS-63 1915-S at...
What years and specific grades are we talking about (though for many Saints or Liberty's, a particular year will be essentially worth bullion...
Yeah....I see your point GD....but there are lots more coins that are of GRADING INTEREST and PURCHASE INTEREST between MS-60 and 65 than are...
1986 (PCGS) and 1987 (NGC). Years of start-up, and then a few years later the promise of "sight-unseen bids" helped lead to the 1989-90 Coin Bubble.
What did you do then with a legit MS-63 ? Call it an MS-60 and be ultra-conservative or overgrade it as an MS-65 ? I guess it depended on the...
PCI was a legendary firm with David Akers, Paul Wittlin, etc. They imported tens of thousands of U.S. gold coins, including some of today's...
