Coin World gets the numbers they report direct from the mint. The mint says they update their web site numbers every week. So when the two do not...
At this point I'd say - aint gonna happen. Use the Thread Tools button. Or, just ask any mod to do it for you.
Yeah, today. But the ICG of today is not the same company that they used to be. That's a very important distinction.
Yes, and on a regular basis. That is what collectors thought they were supposed to do up until the late 1970's. They were collected from the day...
Yeah, they're uncorrelated to the stock or bond markets, but they are far, far, from being immune to the swings of uncertain markets. There have...
Anybody that can read should know it Owle. You don't have to have ever submitted a coin to know it's true.

He used to write articles on how to grade various coin types every month in Coin World. But that was 10-12 years ago with some more recent, I have...
I would never advise anyone to buy any of them at current prices. The idea is to pick out future coins in advance and buy them at issue prices.
Not really. Since the coin was dateless it little value above face to begin with. Sometimes using the acid can even increase the value a bit for...
Many of the $5 commems have done well over the years. Collectors not liking the design and/or subject often resulted in lower mintage numbers, and...
If you have ever read Randy's articles on grading individual coins, it's pretty easy to tell ;)
If you haven't seen them before, there are lots of them !...
People will only believe what they want to believe, even when their belief differs from the truth. And they will argue and defend their belief...
Or worse. Not only can they argue, they still do. And it can be a double edged sword for that scenario. Unscrupulous dealers will dispute the...
