If your coins are worth more than $100 or so each, I strongly recommend you leave them in the bank. If you must use a safe, a gun safe in the...
Let's see the coin! ... Understand if you can't or don't want to. Cal
It sold for $15,600! A bargain! Don't you wish you'd bid? Cal
What you say makes sense, Doug. But wouldn't the same effect occur on a working hub that was not fully impressed by a master die? The bumpy,...
Yes, I see it. Many thanks. It would have to be a working die produced from a weakly impressed working hub that would create a coin that would...
OK. So how would a coin struck with a weakly hubbed working die look different? Cal
Thanks for the response, but my question was not about wear versus strike softness. It was about distinguishing a weak strike from a normal...

In the first example (sell call at $1500/ounce strike price), you sold for $15K, as the buyer of the call would have exercised it at $1600/ounce....
If the price goes up to $1600/ounce and you retain your gold, you have effectively sold it for $15K and bought it back for $16K. With the $330...
I think you need to include what happens if the buyer of the call exercises it: 1. Gold price stays the same. Buyer of the call unlikely to...
Actually "aluminum" is purely American and Canadian. Anglos (i.e. UK) and most of the former British empire use "aluminium". I remember an...
Motorcycles can be fun, but I've only driven them off-road long ago. Never liked the odds of me and a bike against 3000 lbs of car. Rest-up,...
I never buy coins on eBay that cost over $100. Those are fresh-from-the-mint modern world coins and only very few per year. I buy more expensive...
