OK, I'm trying to gauge some FUN ideas. Let's say I am willing to spend $3,000 on a Saint-Gaudens. So I'm a wee-bit short of being able to bid...
I'm having trouble following this. If Gem Quality (MS-67 and higher) has been stable for years....and then it spikes...either a hoard of GQ gold...
I presume you are focusing on the spike in the number of MS68-70 coins ? Is it possible that is NEW modern coins and not classics being submitted...
BTW, I really enjoy this give-and-take with you guys....I learn a lot. This is why I like coming here.:D Not sold on the Speed Grading thing,...
OK let me ask you....how can even David Bowers look at a 1927-D and in less than 10 seconds: Check the fields for bag marks Check the devices...
I'm all for acknowledging that what I don't know I may be wrong about....but how is even an expert going to look at the fields...the devices...the...

Now I see 1857-S SSCA's going for under $4,000 in AU-58 quality, even with some stupid gold dust included....
The TPG's aren't spending more than 30 seconds (from what I hear) on any of the modern coins while grading them. So they aren't taking out both...
Not if they are spending 20 seconds per coin on new stuff as has been reported. I think even new coins need at least 45-60 seconds.
My biggest problem is navigating around the sites. :D
Very interesting and I agree...eliminate the fees and BS S&H sales tax etc..... and folks buying repeatedly save serious $$$ over time. I'm tired...
If prices keep falling, that 68 will not get $1,000.
Their 20% buyers premkium is excessive. I know they have lots of professional staff but I question given their volumes how much they need to...
I guess I'm a Type Collector in that I go for what I like among many different types of coins (and bills). Money willing, I do buy more...
Really ? What kind of stuff is sold there and maybe on Craigslist ? I would think it would be more low-brow stuff ? I just got into GC and HA...
