Copper bars are neat conversation pieces...and handy around the house. I have two at our summer home that are five pound bars that I use as...
I'd always lean toward classic numismatic gold instead of bullion, myself. It's nice to have the history that goes along with the coin. Guy
Jim already replied with the law as it pertains to most of us, and we're within it's guidelines. However, even though food stamps are no longer...
I guess maybe I get what the OP was trying to say. I do have my own set of grading standards, and they seem for the most part to be a lot more...
Coins are like any other asset that gets passed along. Many include them in estates or pass them along to family and friends as gifts, as you can...
It's a fair trade-off...you have pleasant summers and brutal winters while I have pleasant winters and brutal summers. Guess the only difference...
Like was mentioned, nearly all ASE's are MS 69-70. Even if just 10% are 70's (and I have to believe it's far more than that), it seems silly to...
Where I live summer seems to be the time to buy for the same reasons already stated, except here it's too hot from March to September to do...
To the OP: Would you buy a replica BMW because you couldn't afford a real one but liked the look of them? Same principal applies to anything...
Maybe I'm not seeing what you're talking about, but all I see is a common Peace dollar in a store-bought holder. No premium. Guy
Last I read their policy was to manufacture coinage for use in commerce, not cater to collectors. I believe they've even stated as such on...
Thats a fun set to collect. As a bit of advice that I wish I had taken when I started a Mercury dime set 30 years ago, buy the 16-D first. It...
The symbol is still used regularly here in the Southwest by native peoples as a sign of good luck. Guy
True, but these are bullion pieces, not circulating coinage, so every last piece will remain a coin forever. I have many coins that did circulate...
Thats a great looking piece! On the side showing the symbols of good luck, I recognize all but whatever that is in the lower left quadrant. What...
My experiences in both Monaco and Germany were over 20 years ago, so that may make the difference. At that time Germany still had tens of...
Don't know what they are worth now or in the future, but it's amusing to see the word "rare" associated with any ASE. There just simple aren't any...
Agreed. But you knew I'd have to call you out on your "any coin" statement. :D Guy
Ebay is hardly the place to realize "true value". If it were a true auction setting I might think differently. Guy
While I understand what you mean, Doug, I have to disagree. Otherwise great rarities, such as the 33 double eagle and the 1804 dollars would be...
Separate names with a comma.
