Yep, understand that all going into it. I don't collect a lot of coins like this, but the design and history it tells about the ship interested...
Thanks Chris. I don't actually consider any bullion to be a coin. Here are the specs on the coin. Country Tuvalu Mint Perth Mint of Australia...
Congrats Geekpryde on your Heritage win. I remember how I felt when I won my first auction there. Now that anticipation starts. Hoping the coin...
This is very concerning. I hate shill bidding and find it to be unethical.
Okay, I traditionally collect U.S. Coins and also am learning to value world coins as well, but I do also like bullion and bullion coins. I...
I think as long as PCGS keeps their registry "closed", there will always the bias in the marketplace for those collectors using that registry....

Nice coins Green!!! Must be fun to have a significant other who enjoys the hobby as much as you do.
Too hard to predict whether I will need to sell some of my collection to aid my retirement. I would hope to get one of my neices or nephews...
