My idea would not stop dealers from buying, but it WOULD stop them from hiring thousands from flooding the mint on the second they are offered to...
Fair points. I guess my idea is to have some of these unavailable to be bum rushed by huge dealers. Its not fair for someone who supports the mint...
I agree it is great they are making new and interesting products now. I remember the days in the 70's and 80's that all there was offered were...
Um, stop being beholden to "series"? US collectors are funny. I was one for a few decades, so I feel I can say that. It is simply BEATEN into...
I guess I am in the camp of the before pic. I am a big fan of good detail and smooth surfaces, which this coin had before the bath. I think the...
The reverse should have a much larger overprint. They were made during WWII so we could invalidate them instantly if Japan invaded.
Not a 20 to one ratio, 16 to one. 20 silver dollars about 16 ounces of silver, a double eagle about an ounce.
Ancients are always tricky. Yes, we have a TON of "rare" coins. But like others mentioned, it will always be of when does it matter? You guys are...
Many here like @TypeCoin971793 I agreed with earlier are much more knowledgeable than I on the specific coin. What I bring up would be...
A little wet dirt and plastic bearings in a rock polisher on low will do the trick. Unfortunately for them, its polishing pot metal, which will...
Perfect answer. I see better cast copies at Chinese markets locally for less than $5. Not even a decent pot metal fake. US, British, and French...
I have no idea what these go for, but all of us get caught up in bidding wars. I think many more than usual are doing it this year due to prices I...
I would see just the opposite. I think alternative energy is very bearish for pm. One, the use of copper is high for all forms, which will lead to...
I have always advocated getting rid of all descriptors and have all grades numerical. The original sin of US numismatics was to split the world of...
I agree. If it's easily foreseeable, it will be priced into the market already. Its always the unknowns. This is why I admit I have no idea what...
Quite right. I guess my point was many of these nations have defaulted in the past, will default today, and most likely default on whatever money...
Yes and no. The bidder certainly has the right to assert a lot is misrepresented in the listing or photograph, therefore returning the lot. This...
Then you name the group that advocates debt forgiveness, wants to prohibit collecting rents on rental units but still subject landlords to taxes,...
Could easily be they had bad luck with a bidder who didn't pay. I have known auctioneers, and non-paying bidders are part of the game. One on...
Yes, but that calculation is made assuming existing rights to property, laws in place enforced, etc. "Progressives" are trying to change the rules...
Separate names with a comma.
