The thing was that 2015-2019 was 5+ years after a spike to $45 an ounce. So you had YEARS of FALLING prices and lack of demand/interest in...
They were facing increased backlog of coins because submissions have apparently gone up a ton. Not sure what coins they are seeing (gold, silver,...
You can always look at pre-1933 U.S. Gold like Saints.
What is strange is that the bid-ask spreads for gold builion coins (at least at my LCS) are pretty reasonable. Maybe 4-5% on a less-liquid coin....
Are you saying that there is a structural increase in DEMAND that is leading to the permanent premium boost ? Also...were the $1 premiums when...
How much can it cost on a high-end coin to get it graded -- let's say, $50,000 -- to get it graded by a TPG and then graded by CAC? Is it really...
Have you been to FUN before? I went for the 1st time in 2020...had a blast. If you can combine trips to save $$$, it makes it that much better....

Is it just me or does the coin look "dirty ?" And yet....it got a "+" designation AND a CAC from JA. And he's tough on gold and Saints, let...
I understand from LD the Rosen Centre Hotel is right across from the convention center where FUN will be held. When I last went to FUN 2020, I...
Yup.....we need the Liberty DE mintage from 1850-1907. Don't want to sum up like 80 dates/mints which is time consuming. :D
No you don't....DVR it and then fast-forward to the end of the program to see the price. That's what I do. :D
