It's headed in that direction with the proofs. There was no 2009 proof made and the 2010 proof may never be made also. So how does this impact...
Agreed and well put TopCat. However there are those who do not grasp this concept or don't want to cough up the cash. That's OK and leaves more...
A good exercise for anyone is to say go to Kitco or Ampex.... look at the sell price and the BUY price for each coin you are considering. Usually...
I knew that. LOL
Hmmm.. tis a strange one indeed. Maybe de-lamination? If it is a flaw it's worth whatever the buyer will pay. If post mint damage then 25...
This is a tough one. I would keep any key dates or any nice ones. I would try dipping one of the worst ones as a test. The most a dealer has...

To the OP: I think overall after you have been in it a while, you will be the happiest with the American Silver Eagles. You have a real US coin...
I need all the 1892 halves. Most of the ones I have seen do not have full reverse rims. However they are dealer graded at G-4. A couple of...
That's really it. I will agree to the fact that Franklins are taking a hit. I put a lot into a BU set and it's done. But some of the coins I...
That may be true but silver doesn't poop on your floor (:
Nice job with the photos. Looks like a decent 92-O also. That's one date on my want list and it just seems difficult to obtain a nice one.
I think the safest and most liquid are the ASE Government issue coinage. The silver bars are not that risky if you get JM or Englehard brand....
I use a 10X first to quickly examine the whole coin. Then I change to a 16X to look for RPMs and doubling, etc. Another trick is to hold the...
