I'm going later today and will report back.
Recent Auctions: A few nights ago at GC a 1928 Saint MS-65+ w/CAC went for a total cost (with bp) for $4,570. That's only a 12% premium for a...
Was the coin graded and holdered ? I can't tell from the pic. To me, unless you're buying dozens or hundreds and it adds up, I think paying a...
Putting all your eggs in 1 asset class....a new one at that....which is highly volatile and pays no interest or dividends....borders on reckless, IMO.
Any LCS or coin show will probably come close to your price. But with gold at $4,050 give-or-take and taking into account the 0.9675 ounce...
You can't beat stocks over the long run. Gold and gold coins are just something to have as disaster insurance and/or to have fun holding in your...
Chinese labor costs double every 8-10 years...or less. :wideyed: As their labor force shrinks by 30% the next 30 years, Chinese wages will...
I presume you are talking about the more common Saints, right ? They probably lagged on the upside price-wise and saw their premiums come in once...

It's not as simple as you would like, Eric, though I see where you are coming from. Unless we have hyperinflation or something like that,...
You just buy less. :p At FUN 2020, gold was about $1,650 an ounce and I got 3 full-ounce coins. I'll be lucky to just get 1 coin at FUN 2026....
Agreed...and folks have to remember, when you short, your gains are limited to the price you short at and your losses are theoretically unlimited....
You've JUST STARTED to see the most common MS-67 Double Eagle, the 1908 No Motto, have its premium nudge inward a bit. But once gold gets above...
Is that because a "blast white" is very likely dipped or altered ?
I'm not a collector, this is really like decades of silver coins given to me by family members. I guess it added up.:D Should help me get a...
Thanks Jeff....I guess specific multiplers for each series don't matter, right ? Just add up the FV for any pre-1965 coins and multiply by 0.715...
Does anybody have a link to one of those sites that tells you the current "multiplier" for various pre-1965 silver coins to give you the current...
Would you say on average maybe these premium coins went 20-25% over FMV for PLs/DMPLs -- or more ?
It IS a good website.....I look at lots of stuff...have bought alot of my low-to-medium priced stuff.
