Ahh. This confirms what I said above in that I suspect the coins are melted and not being dumped on the dealer channel. Thanks for checking...
By my "ignorant" statement in the 2nd post, I meant that most Americans have no idea the difference between a Federal Reserve Note which they use...
Oh yes. I fully expect that when these coins get to the 20th century presidents there is going to be a huge interest pick in the entire series....
Yeah anyone collecting the liberty series will want Buchanan and I expect the Lincoln coin will do well too.
I would say demand for Jackson in particular is very high. If it appears on any retail site for less than a $900 bucks, remember this is a 1/2...
Sure there is nothing to prevent it but I'm thinking it is unprecedented and there is no reason for the mint to do it. If they did do this,...
People seem to love or hate these coins. If you are looking for bargains for bullion you might find some with slabbed MS69s of the older ones...
I think the biggest reason is that it is a matter of education. Americans are woefully (or maybe blissfully) ignorant of the history of their...
You can find some really good deals at MCM and I do agree they are fast and their term are pretty reasonable.
Anecdotally there is no evidence of this. You can find a ton of Washington, Adams, etc coins where they initially sold out, for resale. Not so...
^I had not considered that the Mint allows this sort of thing to go on. It's a bit disappointing they are reselling coins that have already been...
Yeah when I saw "Coin Vault" mentioned, the BS word came to mind immediately.
The dollar, euro and other major fiat currencies are in a race to see which one can get the closest to 0 worth the fastest. 6 months ago the...
No worries. Just wondering why this particular coin in the series is reselling for such a premium.
Does anyone have any idea why slabbed versions of this coin sell for so much? It's still being sold by the mint. Here is an example from an...
Well the question implies that we are going to return to a situation where we are bartering. This just can't happen in a world with 6B+ people in...
The Chinese Mint also has a number of lunar series coins, including lunar tigers, in both gold & silver. Some of the more interesting ones are...
I like the looks of the gold Panda, but the only way I will own one would be in a graded slab. (only to prove it's not fake)
They are almost like coins as in dependent upon condition and specifics. A pristine (authentically restored) Edsel Citation can go for $60K -...
