I say: let me know where you will be buried, then bury yourself with your collection. ... ... ... Hmm, where's that shovel? (Archaeologists do it,...
It's probably also worth noting that my criticisms of coin dealers derive partly from a naïve, utopian vision of a world were collectors can...
Ah, that is a perspective that I hadn't considered, and would make sense of some things.
Thanks! Seems like all you get around here is push back and criticism. Nice to get some positive reaffirmation every once in a while :D It's...
I know, and I'm fine with that, that's not what the thread is about. My inquiries had more to do with why the same slabbed coin would sell so...
Either, really. Dealers used to provide a useful service, as they were the primary go between for buyers and sellers (how else could you find...

What I need is some cardboard and bubble wrap, but all I have is this toy car. Hmmmmmm........... :watching:
This is along the lines of a rationalization that I've been kicking around in my head with respect to this situation, and you worded it really...
I have to say, there are a lot of things that I don't like about Heritage. The use of Buyer Fee is infuriating. Instead of charging a 20% Buyer...
That's why I wish that the Buy/Sell section of these forums were more active. We have a nice consolidation of people that at least roughly "Like"...
edited! Are we not allowed to talk about purchase and sale prices or something?
This seems to be right on the money to me. I don't understand why the prices would be different, as they are both e-auctions of slabbed coins and,...
Hello, The intention of my collection is to get NGC slabbed bust coins for as many Emperors, Usurpers, Family members, etc as possible from...
