This account makes the most sense, though I wasn't collecting at the time. I think that's true of almost all coins. It was a really high spike.
Having talked to folks, read the CAC website, and talked to a CAC principal face to face, it seems to me that CAC is very strict on non-original...
Google. Check their website. CAC services are less than TPG grading, as they should be.
Then you're gonna miss out on some really nice coins. One should never blindly accept a coin for the slab / sticker... but one should never...
It mentions many achievements... but never mentions he was President. Jefferson was no fan of the office. He was deeply suspicious of too much...

I have bought and sold on Teletrade with no problems. :thumb: Here's the only catch : all you have is a picture. You can't inspect the coins in...

Some of the more esoteric corners of our hobby are missing from the Greysheet - colonials, California fractionals, territorials / pioneer,...
100% chance these are 100% bad. Some counterfeits are tricky ... but these ain't. These scream "bogus" !

Coin pricing is an art, not a science. Funnel in all the data you can, apply good sense, and go. The quality of the coin is more important than...
It depends. In general, a combination of completed auction prices and greysheet can give you a good guess-timate. Read Greysheet carefully -...
You don't have to be a recognized "dealer" to sell coins. Have you sold any of your stash ? Try it. See what you think. It's very, very...
