Based upon what? A guess? The 250,000 number what put together looking at mailing lists versus non-mailing list customers of large firms,...
In the physical market its normal. When prices go up premiums go down, and vice versa. The physical market has about a 3-6 month memory. After...
I agree with PeacePeople. The tiny amount of pm sold on the physical market is not a factor to the exchanges. On the exchanges you can only...
The conversation was concerning demand for rare coins. Someone who collects cents or state quarters from circulation is not a factor in the demand...
Wow, I hope you don't put me in the "speculator" or "investor" bucket. I have never speculated in coins, and tell everyone who will listen they...
IDK man. Though they are not slabbed, I still own a few rolls of morgans and I don't even collect US anymore, along with a 14d, 09s, and many...
Indeed there are very widely held definitions of "collectors". Mine is those who are vaguely aware of things like red books, price guides, and...

Eh, maybe/maybe not. How many US collectors are there? Maybe 250,000 active collectors, (and many collect late 20th century common coins). For an...
Like others said, it depends. A rare mercury dime will have 100 or 1000 times more examples known than a rare SL quarter. "Rare" is always within...
Maybe I am just the oddball, but i prefer #2. I like the stronger devices on both sides and better surfaces. To me a more pleasing coin to look at.
Yes, I go back and reread this every few years. This, along with Frank Robinson's book on coin collecting, is some of my most enjoyable numismatic...
Its possible to try to arbitrage between them I suppose. I guess I am just old fashioned, I buy it and put it in the SDB or safe to sit there for...
I ignore it since it has no bearing in modern pricing of these two very different metals.
Looks like someone made a homemade guitar pick. Pretty cool. An error? I don't think so.
Hey, remember that I am on record a few years ago predicting silver will be $100 an ounce. Eventually....... :) Yeah, someone should bring back...
