If you're talking about when silver rose to $45/oz., my recollection is that the premiums were maybe $5 or so (about 10% or less). Today, they...
But the price of silver did NOT go up....just the premium. The US Mint's dealer-sanctioned oligopoly created artificially high premium prices to...
This holder appears to be from 2016, long after the WF Hoard coins were graded in the mid-to-late 1990's. I believe that virtually ALL the...
Is that really what happens ? Given that you KNOW there are some really super-wealthy players here, unless you are one of THEM....why play with...
Any other 68 is going to cost multiples of that $17,000....and I think a 1908 WF NM in MS-68 is under $30,000. No other Saint-Gaudens is gonna be...
The 1908 NM's -- WF and non-WF -- are notorious for that "poor strike" look.:(
Both the quantity of 1908 NM's and 1908 WF NM's...combined with some post-1990 Bubble loose grading....has many of the coins as either overgraded...
Randy, I believe I have a Hoard Thread somewhere here that goes into depth on the Wells Fargo Hoard. Suffice to say it refers to where the coins...
Yup....the number of registry, gold coin, and type collectors is about 25,000...give-or-take. Above that, premiums to bullion are miniscule and...
How are you seeing "rub" near the eye per se ?
At this time, it's fair to point the finger of blame at the U.S. Mint and their oligopoly of special dealers. It's one thing to have a premium...
$2,300 for the 1881 ? Not bad, given the current gold price.
Not familiar with prices, but didn't high-quality ones take a beating from about 2010-20 ?
Beautiful coins....not as big as the $10 and $20 coins, but still very sharp !!
It won't come back as OGH, to the best of my knowledge. You have to ID it as legit and then track down the holder from the PCGS (or NGC) Hall of...
JM, is the "hazy film" those black splotches ?
The dark blotches as a result of lighting are somewhat weird. I know GDJMSP has shown before-and-after pics that show a coin dramatically...
I need to see other angles as the black splotches could be the lighting. For this coin, I would probably pay no more than $3,500.
