For the most part I don't believe moderns will acquire much value in any of our lifetimes. I could turn out to be wrong, but those are my...
There used to be other sites but I believe they are now defunct for the most part. But you can still use this one - http://minterrornews.com/...
When I say older Jim, I am not talking about anything within either of our lifetimes. To me older means the 1800's and back for the most part. But...
Yeah, they would. I transposed the 3 and 1. But your comment brings up a point that seems to imply something that a lot of people get wrong. That...
Fair enough, I was just basing my number on the 1% rule of thumb. And DOH ! I see now that I made a mistake and transposed my number ! I should...
Believe what you want, but I have known too many people that I know and trust who were graders, and they all say the same thing. As for HSN, of...
Small problem with that thinking - the people grading the coins have no idea who sent them in. The result - a single coin from the "little guy",...
Hmmmm - did they change their policy Tom ? In the past it was always all 3 bands had to be clear and distinct. From what I can find they still do...

If it was the mint, then only those coins minted after 2003 would get the 70 grades. But, the increase seen was across the board, regardless of...
But the vast majority of those 70 grades were given after 2003.
There was a time when that was true, but it is not true any longer. The number of bullion coins, modern commems, and modern Proofs that are graded...
Mike, when the FUN show comes, you and I need to take a walk and look at Saints.
Only if the price of silver goes up.
Sorry, but no such thing as an Austrian 3/4 ducat minted in 1752. What you have there is a counterfeit 1 ducat of 1752.
In case you don't understand, what Chris is telling is this. There is no such thing as the NGC price guide. All NGC does is have links to the...
Well, instead of trying to use those price guides, which are no good to begin with, learn to use the Heritage archives to research what coins are...
You can learn to tell the difference with a little effort. Color and texture are the keys. On a coin that has wear, even light wear, the areas...
