The only value IMHO is peace of mind that the slabber believed it to be authentic. If its an authentic slab, (another discussion entirely), then I...
Very true, especially in series like US coins. A 1916D dime is not a rare coins by any definition. Its downright common compared to most coins in...
I like this one. Education does many things, lets you know what is available, makes coins more interesting, what to look for, etc. I remember...
Yeah, like most us commems continue to put in lows for a long time. Trying to catch a falling knife can be done, but dangerous.
My rule of thumb is NEVER, EVER "invest" in any collectibles. Buy them for what they are, what joy it gives you. IF you or your heirs happen to...
I have seen this exact copy before. Look at the loop. Its the same metal as the "coin". It is simply a jewelry fake IMHO. Still, its precious to...

But yet Warren Buffet is not against speculation in his "investment" fund. Remember he had a large silver position once. Plus, if you have enough...

Sadly the OPs tale is a common one. Chicken and egg I am afraid. Since so many collectors now go online for purchases, most stores do not stock in...
Just like everything else in life. Everywhere I turn, I see people selfishly doing something that benefits themselves at the expense of everyone...
$100k of gold being delivered to a trailer park? Sounds like a setup from the beginning. My view is the UPS is an idiot, and the purchaser and the...
Copper rounds IMHO are a horrible investment because the premium is too high. If I wanted to invest in copper long term, I would buy something...
