It might be sir, both are spectacular specimens. I actually think that coin earned me points in his eyes, recognizing it to be a Starr...
Yeah, and I could say, "if you bought stock X in 2009 and sold this year....". Choosing low and high points in a market cycle does not prove...
Sir, I usually respect your posts as well. I am simply reacting to the tone a few pages ago when people were saying "almost all of my auctions are...
Did you even read my comments on how I arrange for snipes like once a week? Believe it or not I am not on Ebay all of the time, not do I care to...
See, this is why I couldn't be a coin dealer, (besides the horror of having to part with coins). If some buyer said something like this to me in...
Silly me, I thought 1970. ;)
All around the world there are myriads of dating systems used on coin. Get into Central Asia/India and you have many such dating systems like...
Good point. Btw, even if I did keep coins at home, and didn't own a sdb, I would still say on a public internet forum that all of the coins are in...
Josh, just letting you know, I have never read about a sdb being robbed. Maybe it has happened, but it would be extremely rare. Now, every day I...
"The world runs on gold"? The total value of all gold in the world is what? Maybe 1% of liquidity, if that high? Last I saw the USD was the...
It really gets to one of the really weird things in our hobby to me. I have never seen a hobby in which such a large percentage of participants...
On the flip side, physical gold can be stolen from you. Please read about how many burglaries and home invasions are performed in the US every...
OP, you are not the only one to know Starr coins. I personally know quite a few collectors and dealers fairly well versed in these transition...
Yeah, no doubt. When I go to certain countries I want to buy a vowel, when I go to Boston I want to buy consanants! :)
Doug, you ever have much luck dipping to remove layers? I tried it with mixed success. A "solution" for this coin could be a dip in a diluted...
OP, I would listen to justbored. If you are new, education is the most important thing you can invest in. Second, I would suggest going to lots of...
Thanks for the correction. I am confused still, though on the sizes. The "worldwide cumulative total" cube would only be about 64 times the size...
Sorry if I got grumpy. Again, gold industrial use is not very much, but that is more because of the price. The fact it will not corrode is a huge...
Airtights will help, but the environment has to be correct. If stored in a sdb, do not store paper, especially non-white paper, in the sdb. Also,...
There is a reason a friend said dip it. One, that toning is beginning to turn terminal. A buyer, (if you were thinking of selling it), would worry...
