It's unfortunate in this hobby that we have to be so suspicious of coins and always on the lookout for 'bad coins'. I wonder what the collector to...
You can get 10 oz. silver bars on eBay all day long. Stick with the name brands like Englehard, Johnson Matthey, Apmex, Northwest Territorial...
I think silver will be back down to ~$7/oz. soon. There's plenty of silver to go around for anyone that wants some. I haven't bought since it...
That looks cool! What is it alloyed with? It looks kind of golden.
I've seen PCGS graded coins that I wouldn't pay $5 for. I've seen others that I'd pay $50 for. Same grade, ('71s PCGS PR69DCAM Ike Dollar). There...
I like the 'hobbyist' approach to coins. I buy what appeals to my eye. I get some pretty good stuff in my eBay lots, but if it's not what I...
I feel for ya. I live in Mpls./St. Paul and I've never left the computer yet in looking for what I like to buy. If me and my kids went to a store...
I'm guesstimating that there are a lot more fake slabs out there than anybody knows about. Anyone who can fake coins with dies or cast fakes is...
I'm just starting to collect Canada silver dollars. They are large, silver, (80%), and pretty to my eye. Many that I see are cameo prooflike and...
Thanks all.
Also, do you have an opinion on who grades cameos the most conservatively? Thanks.
You make some interesting points....What do the newest NGC slabs look like?
How does one tell which is the newest and airtight design?
I have to agree with that as well. That's why I like ICCS graded Canadian silver dollars. They seem to be consistent AND very conservative....
Arrrgh!!! I just bid on this one at the end of the auction. I bid with 30 seconds left and had a plenty high enough bid to win, but when I...
I'm watching one on eBay right now that seems to fit my requirements, but it is already in a PCGS slab. Sam I am, I don't like green eggs and...
I agree. I only own 1 slab. Do you know if PCGS or NGC is more conservative in their 'cameo' grading standards? Or ANACS or ICG? I like graders...
Apparently, the softer silver proofs 'struck up' better than the 'harder' clad material proofs. Maybe PCGS takes that into account when grading...
Hi all, I'm interested in purchasing a DCAM Ike proof dollar because I like the reverse with the eagle and 'earth' in the background. My question...
Ditto.
Separate names with a comma.
