My prediction of $3,000 by 2030 is looking solid. :cigar: I think my $5,000 by 2035 prediction -- which I gave about 25% chance of happening when...
And yet, some people like to pay cash for everything. CNBC's long-time contributor, Art Cashin (of UBS and PaineWebber) was one such person. Did...
Probably...I'd rather see a $500 bill with Reagan on it. We can get a jump on the Quintcentenniel. :D But I am sure it would be hoarded and used...
That's Gene Hackman, right ?
OK, my mistake. :D BTW, even when GD disagrees with me, I learn stuff. He and other vets -- maybe yourself -- have spent hours in this hobby...
Wow, I did NOT know that. :wideyed: I suspect that others will chime in here -- pro and/or con -- and I will not have to ask any questions on...
BTW, GD, those Population Reports are -- in the words of Kenny Bania :D -- gold....gold, GD, gold !! :D If somebody had them all digitalized from...
Yes, on that you are 100% correct. I was referring specifically to this wear/rub/friction debate on high points which seems to be THE CRUX of the...
Got it. :D Nah, I'm not that old, GD :D.....but the nuances and subtle differences here really make the argument. You have written some fantastic...
You mean forgiving or ignoring a small amount of rub on a single or multiple high-points, right ? Net-grading, right ? That's what Albanese was...
Doug, is 2004 when most people or experts like you NOTICED the change....because others also cited 2000 as a key turning point, maybe when it...
You think that's the case -- or maybe just with AU-58's ? I don't see too many overgraded or "pricey" AU-55's or AU-53's.
I guess it's because we think price and grade are linear....they aren't. But as long as 95% or 99% or 99.9% of collectors THINK and ACT that way,...
When I buy one for myself, I like to buy a "quality" bill. But if the low-to-mid 60's is too pricey, then I drop into the 50's.
Very astute observation. :cigar: I noticed that Greensheet article talking about in early-2021 how the Covid buyers were buying raw and...
Wow, I'm not surprised as imaging can look at a coin dozens or hundreds of times per second and analyze every nick and bag mark and measure their...
GD or anybody else, have you seen this interview with John Albanese ? Fascinating, IMO....
There's reference to a BOA report in recent days on gold...and also some accounting of long/short positions (derivatives ?) that "...the Fed knew...
Who are these gold bullion banks ?
I'll admit that settlements and custodial issues are NOT my strong point. What do YOU think this all means. Unless LBMA was short huge amounts...
