This kind of activity in the market just shows how little control we have over predicting PM values on what is happening in the real world. All...
It looks like it lost a fight to sulphuric acid. Poor coin!!!
With the last few posts in mind, I could expand upon them a bit I guess. You could walk through a show and find ten different prices for the same...
Thanks for the info. I think honest sellers who are willing to above and beyond should get some recognition.
I've only been to smaller coin shows, and have always thought the prices were very much in line to what I'm accustomed to paying. If what some...
There were also some private companies assembling their own 1982 and 1983 P & D mint sets. I've seen them going for over $30 on ebay. Since they...
Wow! Copper is doing pretty well. I could have voted for gold, but I cannot speak from experience. Someone hit the magic switch and put it in my...
This is an example of why Cointalk is great. We share our experiences, our knowledge, our opinions, and our observations. Then we watch HSN for a...

This statement is an opinion of many collectors. But, some want to put a set together on a strict budget. On ebay are several examples of people...
All I have to say is they are up front about what they are selling, even if it is way the heck overpriced. Anyone who is thinking of purchasing...
This kind of business happens in any hobby or interest group. Before making any major purchase or investment, you should always do research and...
I think in many cases, a good current appraisal would be better than receipts. Say I bought a 1909-S VDB twenty years ago for $350. I would be...
