Thanks AVS...I didn't realize the proof fractional mintage was that low, I must have read from the silver or gold circulated columns a few days...
Some of the eBay links I provided the coins are $1,500 - $2,500 or so. And their prices are 2x what PCGS at least says is FMV. Of course, I...
Some 'cleanings' were innocent -- some kid may have wiped a somewhat dirty coin 30-40 years ago before we knew not to touch the thing. Today of...
Can someone explain the difference between the business and proof strikes (or is it business and circulation strikes ?) and why one can't get...
I said AU-53 maybe 55. I think I am high after reading the comments. But that is what I thought before scrolling down.
Please tell us the fraction of gold your coin has, if it's not on the label ! :D
Probably...but they are processing stuff so fast that they miss easy counterfeits (for them). When you look at 300-500 coins a day....do the...

None, an easy double-check against a sloppy counterfeiter. But we do need the different weights for an empty slab for both PCGS and NGC...and...
I got the ET Matrix ET-300s off Amazon a few days ago. It comes with a 100 gram counterweight (though you can buy a complete set cheaply off...
Here's that $800 MS64 DMPL 1884-O:...
So far precious metals have not done that well in a negative rate environment. Deflation is not good for metal prices. You need...
Gold is a speculation, stocks are investments. Gold does not pay dividends or interest which means you have to rely 100% on price appreciation....
Just got my "A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars" today. Looks great...more in-depth than the one on Double Eagles on each year/mint and more...
Gotcha.... Tell me about it.....:D Thanks...and I greatly appreciate the help of CT veterans like you and MD and Santini and others. I am,...
I find most dealers pretty fair, too. They'll tell you if they are way out of line price-wise...sometimes they tell you they bought high and...
