I haven't been active in MSDs in a while, but we have some specialists in those coins, maybe they can chime in.
Thanks Steve...just curious, if you have a special bill (i.e., Hawaii or North Africa or something like those) would you pay up more for another...
It's amazing....the TPGs give + and * designations and yet their own graders can be off 1-2 grades. But we're supposed to believe they are...
I think more and more "collectors" are into a few choice bills and/or coins from various series....not collecting entire series like kids 40 or 50...
I think there will be enough for me @ FUN to have fun. :D
North Africa - WW II $1 Bill: Won this in a recent auction. Price really jumps if you go to PMG 66 or 67...ditto if you go for certain blocks or...
That was what some vets here quoted, and you're right: in absolute terms, it's not a bad number. At my local coin shows, I see maybe 10-15...
Any currency/bill-only conventions, or gatherings where they dominate instead of coins ? I'm going to be going to FUN in January and was...
Check out the volatility in a 1924 Saint from 1979 to the present. https://www.pcgs.com/pricehistory#/?=9177-65 It's ALL OVER the map and forget...

Any coins selling for huge premiums -- like the Morgans and Saints, circa 1989-90 -- are subject to a 50-75% (or more !! :eek:) decline as the air...
That's why you need to watch the premium you pay to face value and/or intrinsic (bullion) value. The most popular coins might be the ones where...
Depends on the coin. As a general rule, I want higher quality when it is affordable. So I have a few Saint-Gaudens and they are all at MS 65....
I hope they don't forget to charge themselves the 20% premium. :D
So they are auctioning off a 1927-D Saint-Gaudens at the show I understand. From Dr. Steve Duckor's collection. I guess just like they have...
Later in LIFE ? I would agree. But the apparent (if true) reduction in coin enthusiasm is matched by declines in civic participation (Rotary,...
Yes, I already am signed up with HA. Won a few things in the last year or so. Mostly low-priced stuff.
Thanks guys...the real problem security-wise seems to be with the dealers getting robbed, from the past headlines. :D I figure to bring cash, but...
