Another episode: Dennis' Penny Collection Mr. Wilson's attempts to keep Dennis interested in something and away from him somehow results in Mr...
Any thoughts on grade? I'm leaning towards a low MS (probably 61 or 62). The carbon spots hurt the eye appeal, but don't factor into grade IMO.
No, I'll check out the site. I work as a convention rep in Texas - so, I need to hone my own skills. Don't really get much of a chance to pick...
Looks like Longacre doubling to me. If anyone has a mechanical explanation of what caused that on such diverse coins of his design, I'd love to...
I'm struggling to ID the VAM on this Morgan. It appears to have a high left mintmark, and has a feature under the top loop of the S, both of which...
What kind of grades? The MS63+ sovereigns carry quite a premium. For lower grades, except for a few key years, they were minted in such high...
Or, that platinum is ridiculously underpriced at the moment. I'm long silver and platinum. Any idea why palladium has such a premium over...
Price ratios are often built on 2 factors; 1) relative scarcity of the two items being compared & 2) perceived value / need for the two...
They can be both. Why not use collector knowledge to pick out the best bang / potential appreciation for the buck? At the big gorilla bullion...
This one seems to have been made for a garden party horse race? I've never thrown a party at the scale where I gave medals to the entertainment,...
Locally (north Texas), the supply of gold seems to have tightened up. Dealers that had deep inventory at $2k have just a few coins at $3k. To me,...
Or a 1923-D...
Since I work for ANACS (as a show representative), I'll probably take my chances. ;) Personally, if it has hairlines, I'd rather know than jump...
Even an AG-3 trends over $800. If you have any more this far gone, I'm happy to buy them all off you for $2.40 apiece.
I've been seeking one for a while, and can't tell if I picked one up today or not. I may be fooling myself, but think I see the "forbidden"...
Love cherry picking VAMs! I picked this 1886-o VAM 1a up today. Dealer had it priced steeply for an 1886-o, but not for the stunning multiple die...
From a bulk bin of Mercury dimes, I found this today. May have been worth all the searching... Am I seeing a D (on this AG-3 ish specimen) or...
I thought it was AU53 to AU55 when I submitted. But, there are reasons it came back a 50 that are hard to argue against. EF45 could be argued for...
On the VAM 22A, I see the telltale die cracks across STAT"ES OF", but don't see it between the 0 & 1 of the date. So, I thought this might be a...
So.... The Reveal... ... ... Not a *single* correct guess in the poll. And, yes, I do feel that the grading room was a bit harsh. Proof...
