I think the current $ coin failed because they changed the size of it. In 1979 the SBA $ format was universally reviled because it looked too...
Agreed. I like the full proof sets primarily for the addition of the Lincoln & Dime. The penny & nickel are also nice if you are building those...
When in history have people with gold & silver been hungry, cold or homeless?
But the rarity of the Robinson coin never changed. On the other hand the exact opposite happened with the ASE. Flippers bought up this coin...
Calling me a liar is unnecessary and does nothing to further the conversation. You either have a valid point or you don't. If that point was...
Hmm that $3000 auction has no bids listed. The $600 auction only has one bid. One might think there is some funny stuff going on. Maybe it...
"Demand has absolutley nothing to do with rarity." What you have proven is that when demand exceeds supply then prices will rise. But you have...
What do you plan to do with a slabbed bullion coin? It doesn't seem worth the expense.
The point was about rarity. There were 30,000 1995-w coins minted 16-17 years ago. That is a lot less than 100K. The 2006 had 250,000 units...
You left off that DEMAND is greatly affected by price vs perceived value. While people may want a $300 silver coin, there are far few of them...
Best be worrying about things you can control. This isn't one of them.
Given this would have effectively eliminated 4/5ths of the potential profit motive, a lot of coin flippers might not have bothered.
Indeed. I just read through the current legislation covering the mint's operations. As it turns out, the minting of these coins, as well as all...
This isn't equivalent. Regulations affect corporations and individuals. The Mint is neither. No matter, it's irrelevant. The US Constitution...
I don't see where this is inconsistent with what I said. Private companies are not directed by congress.
OK, then your comments about rube investors being duped by unfamiliarity with foreign law, which I was responding to, is of the same relevance....
The mint is not a company and thus by definition, it is not a corporate monopoly. In order to understand what the Mint you will have to go back...
I would wait until you see what is going to happen with these coins. There is always time to get it graded in the future. IMO, I think an...
Honestly, this along with the questions about communist China, is FUD. We are not talking about trading in the 3rd world, or a socialist (current...
The original mintage of this coin was 600,000 and sold for $27 in the USA. (probably far fewer were sold in the USA) It's a tricky question...
