DS, did you get your Saint yet or narrow it down ? I don't know how many you intend to buy but rather than buy a lower-graded rarer coin....I...
There's stuff out there....I actually think you can get a 1908 NM MS-66 for just above $3,000. Certainly, common Saints in MS-65 are well under...
Probably my Reverse Proof Buffalo Gold Proof....nice black NGC holder. BTW, black is a great background color to highlight gold proofs.
Does anybody have that expensive Bowers picture book on Liberty Double Eagles ?
Just not enough saved in overseas hoards like Saints. The modern-day survival numbers seem very low unless many were kept in bank vaults into the...
Anybody got a 1908 No Motto Wells Fargo.....MS-66 or MS-66+, CAC, or OGH ? Considering getting one if I can swing the $$$. Would love to...
I'm looking at possibly obtaining an MS-66 OGH or MS-66+ or MS-66 CAC Wells Fargo Hoard. If anybody has purchased, sold, or scanned that grade in...
FUN SHOW January 5-8th, 2023: Looks like it will be the first regular FUN show since I last attended for the 1st time. :D I'm not sure if I'm...
I feel bad for such people, but you HAVE to be smart. I've seen people fleeced by coins, baseball cards, stocks, penny stocks, Beanie Babies,...
They ASSUME you know what you are doing which people like my father may or may not be aware. He was sharp until about age 85 1/2; started having...

I get where you are coming from, Paddy, but at least Rick is a legit numismatist and not a con man. He's not a boiler room operator selling crap,...
If his prices are LOWER than actual sales on Ebay (NOT offers) then it's probably because the market price (FMV) for the item fell substantially....
If the stories that are discussed -- like the European Bank Hoards and pre-1933 U.S. gold -- then it's maybe a friend to the hobby. The rest is...
These are prices being charged by dealers who work with the Mint 1-on-1 ? So they're probably buying at spot plus a sub-$1 premium ?
Charging a big premium at that time was not a surprise since you figure the price will bounce back. Nobody wants to sell into a crash. If you...
But people were buying before....LOTS....when silver was $25 and $30 and even $45/oz. Didn't see the same % premium then, right ? This premium...
But then why doesn't the price of silver RISE if there is all this demand ? Agreed...assuming there are silver subsitutes. Which there are, but...
The question remains after 3 years....why are the premiums so large and so persistent....without a rise in the underlying price of silver ? Has...
