I've seen the listings in the FM catalog but remember no details. Usually in games like this the winners are very tightly controlled and the...
There's no "proper price" for any coin. A unique '76 Ike proof minted in Philly exists as well and would bring a good price but who knows how...
Something strikes me that I never thought of quite this way before. Modern collectors already tend to be a little more contrary than other...
Mint sets have been getting destroyed indiscriminately for decades. The markets were saturated because everyone who wanted a mint set bought five....
They range the gamut from low mintage to high mintage and none saved. There are coins that were produced accidently or inadvertantly as well as...
I used to see some pretty nice looking XF bust halfs for a few dollars. I always trade stuff when they start going up so I'd have missed most...
People who bought PR-70's in those days mostly weren't collectors. They were investors. Collectors would have been looking at coins and seeing...
We don't see eye to eye on much do we? I don't think people should buy coins as investments or because they might retain their value. I admit...
Translation; "All moderns are common".
No. This is a brand new one. You are saying that all clad quarters are worth 25c even if the price guide lists them for $600. There are...
The reality is exactly the opposite. New hordes of old coins come to light continually. Individuals rarities are discovered or rediscovered....
No doubt there will be increased demand for the older coins.
Your standards are arbitrary, mine are not. You can't tell what a date looks like by pop reports. With moders what you are really seeing is how...
I'm sure you're right that a lotof the most desirable modernbs have not been slabbed. They haven't been slabbed because the market is in its...
Good attitude. It is what collectors do; collect. Some people just can't understand why others collect "common" coins.
I have experience in moderns and you don't. No one has more experience with 1982-P quarters and I'm telling you point blank that a true Gem that...
I agree with 66. It's very nice for a 66 with a nice even strike but the services count bag marks. Oddly enough it doesn't look like a mint...
This modern bashing as well and probably highly misleading. Foreigners have no experience with silver and gold in their pockets either. What...
This is modern bashing even if you hadn't done it before. You simply assume there is an "astronomical supply" that can't be absorbed even by an...
It's a shame there's no "hate post" button so I could hate my last post. I was feeling rather grumpy for other reasons some of them related to...
Separate names with a comma.
