Probably not the best decision you could make. I say that for a pretty simple reason, 70 graded coins have been dropping in value for some time...
Well you could say it's a subtle difference perhaps but there is a difference. Patterns are offered to a mint as possible designs for a new coin -...
The purpose of any pattern is to get a mint, your own or somebody else's, to select that design for use as a coin. And it doesn't have to be for...
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I have known of too many cases where a dealer is a member of the PNG and/or ANA and display their logos in their...
I've never heard of a coin that didn't have a pattern, foreign or domestic.
Actually Mike it's quite simple, and it is the same advice that has always been given to any collector, new, old or in between. That is to only...
Tim, this is nothing new. They have been doing these things for many years now, centuries even. And just about everybody is and has been well...
I'd have to say that kind of depends on the spot because not all spots are caused by toning. In fact many are caused by some sort of foreign...
I don't know that you can say there is a definitive answer to your basic question because some are going to have different opinions on the subject...
LOL ! Am I the only one who when he sees a member post something like that gets nervous because he's obviously done something wrong that he's...
Sure don't see many of those original holders very often anymore !

No, there was not such a time. As I said, there are 2 reasons for the mint to exist, to mint coins for use in commerce, and to make a profit. And...
BigTee - go talk to a good accountant and forget what you hear on this forum.
Does that OGP also include the outer cardboard box, or velvet lined box, that these sets usually come in ? If so, then you need to remove those....
I think that's the actual issue for you, but let me ask you - just how much is too much ? 5%, 10%, 25% - where do you draw the line that defines...
Yeah sure, toning will stop if you can cut off the air. But that is precisely the problem, there are no airtight containers. But if you want to...
Because toning can only be slowed down, it can never stopped. And eventually all toning will reach its terminal stage where it is destroying the...
The profits that the mint makes by selling collectible coins is but a tiny, tiny, fraction of their total profits. The only time that taxes ever...
Yes they did raise the prices. But they didn't have any choice, they had to raise the prices because by law they have to make a profit on...
