I also have to give a shout out to Frank Robinson's book, "Confessions of a Numismatic Fanatic" as well. Great reading on how and why to collect...
Yeah, about this. I would recommend for the third book the cherrypicker's guide if they wanted to start with CRH. Three books is obviously tough...
99% of such things are scams nowadays. Years ago Ebay and CL truly did have people listing an inherited collection, and I bought some. Today,...
Safest to assume that. This is why benjamins in your wallet and transactions taking place at places like shows is handy. No need to have complete...
Not in actual terms sir, but in market cycle both for spot and premiums. In 2015 I was buying quite a bit, posted here about it, how both spot and...
OP, I find maybe 90% of these Ching coins Beijing mints. The obverse is chinese, reverse manchu, so are unique to chinese cash coins so easy to...
Ebay is collecting and remitting state SALES tax. The 1099 will also be reported to your state, so the sale would also be taxable by them as well.
No guarantees. Just opinions of some who have seen and studied this market through past up and down cycles. I agree with you eventually $50 will...
I had seen spectacular, checked out silver joker. Hey, whatever makes them happy I am glad they are in the hobby. I just hope they have thought of...
Nice to catch one of your grails. I have one, kind of a coin, that I haven't seen for sale for well over a decade come up recently. I don't want...
I agree with @ToughCOINS post. Most fail because they concentrate too much on stacking, not enough on the rest of their financial life. If you...
Well, if its cheaper than what they sold them for yesterday, I guess. Stupid me, I will simply wait until both spot market and premiums go back...
My father played this song for me over the phone when he first heard we named her Irene. Too funny. I had never heard of the song.
Great response man. Just like I am not jealous of what others have, I do not feel any superior to other collectors. We are all here to learn about...
I have to admit something........I looked at your title to the thread a number of times and never "got" it. I kept thinking "proof Uncirculated"?...
Your picture sir of the "original" versus "upgrade" half cent and 3 cent pieces. I was simply saying I thought the ones on the left were more...
Maybe I am weird, but I much prefer the "original" coins sir. Maybe I am the only one.
Yeah, I have had the misfortune of emptying a few of these, with unfortunate results over the years. Only one looks too dark. Put them all in...
Price of all sorts of assets, like stocks, bitcoins, houses, etc are soaring due to loose money around the world. Money is not worth much in terms...
Mine was a VG WL half dollar my mom had in an old plastic "bank" under her bed. I quickly figured out how to burglar it so I could see this coin...
