I agree, Condor. I was being sarcastic more than anything. Though I have to admit, I could never grade a coin at MS70 myself.
Looks like a O-113a (R2) to me. Looks like it's VF-XF, though I'd lean more toward VF. Not worth slabbing. Slabs don't protect coins from the...
So you're telling me the only people that can grade coins are TPG's? Thats why the younger collectors never really learn the hobby well. Guy
While I agree 50K may not be a big auction figure for major auction firms, it is their bread and butter. It's the small auctions that pay their...
Hmmm...ok
Thats not true. The ASE's have been minted with W mintmarks in the past. True, they were proofs...but proof bullion is still bullion. It's a...
Only coins I ever buy at pawn shops, or rather one specific pawn shop, is silver bullion. A local shop sells it at the daily spot, though they...
Buying virtual silver is about as smart as buying virtual food...why would anyone even consider this?
Had the mint wanted to make a lot more money off of these, and used their brains for a change, they would have included an S mintmark on these....
Chase Bank will exchange money. They charge $5 regardless of the amount exchanged and it takes just a few days to get it in. I just bought my...
Popular misconception. Experienced collectors aren't going to pay a dime more for a certified coin than they are for a raw coin. I say don't waste...
The only MPC's I have are the ones my dad gave me from his Vietnam days. Paper is addictive in all forms, though. I bought a package of 50...
Well, actually $2 over spot wouldn't be unrealistic. $8 on the other hand is a bit over the top. ASE's are bullion and should sell as such.
Whether it's right or wrong, it is tasteless, as I'm sure any sensible human being would agree. I highly doubt they are authentic as described,...
Well, I suggest staying away from fads and hype, which is pretty much most things silver and gold right now, unless you like paying far more than...
Two million medals struck?! No, I'll pass. What a joke! It would have been a noble jesture had they made enough for all who wanted one seeing as...
Just look at historical information. Over the long-term it has fared near the bottom of any investment category. Gold and silver have always been...
Like Chris said, use it as a learning experience, because chances are thats all it will be, good or bad. I've been investing for over 25 years,...
Hmmm, thats weird because I've been in there many times, before there was a show as well as during, and it's the exact same place as you see on...
Give them to your dental patients. If they know they'll get a prize after each visit, maybe people won't be so afraid to visit their dentist. Guy
