Good point, but actually it wasn't a ploy, it was just the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing. With the ban on...
OK, that puts things in perspective. I'm probably middle-of-the-road in terms of purchases here at CT (maybe even lower :D )....but my average...
RickB, what coins do you collect and what are their price range and average price ? I'm wondering if you feel comfortable buying a 4- or 5-figure...
Yet when I bring that up here, and say that these guys need to spend closer to 1-2 minutes on many coins, I'm shot down. And still we have...
If you threw in a 4K scan of the coin....noting every detail....and this was recorded in posterity....you could theoretically eliminate 99.9% of...
Why break them out ? Not only did you lose confirmation of the grade and a secure storage for the coin...but you probably "overpaid" for the coin...

I'll tell you what I'd like to see....PCGS and NGC spending a few $$$ to offer free picture-taking of existing slabbed coins....show up at major...
CNBC, Fox Business, Fox News, Bloomberg TV....plenty of good online sources. It doesn't matter if the others lie, the laws of finance and...

On that we are in agreement. Roy Langbord said over on CU that their biggest mistake was thinking that the government would be amenable to a...
I don't think he said that.
As an aside, Bball, are you into Saints ? Have you checked out RWB's new book ? 600+ pages...but outstanding. Have to buy it from HA, not...
The judge laid down the rules before the trial: if the jury found for the government, they keep the coins. If the jury found for the Langbords,...
OK, point taken. My point is that anybody -- government or individual -- with 10 million-dollar coins is using express grading or doing a...
Except it wasn't stolen, the government never was missing 10 ounces of gold. It was clearly exchanged. They WERE missing 250 1928 Double...
