Die lamination? Looks like the die lost a piece and it folded back. Weird.
Yes it is. I lost my taste/patience for it. If I weren't such a damn hoarder I would sell off the couple of thousand uncleaned coins I just moved...
I was justing saying in generalities sir. I was trying to just explain that even if you may be rigth in your area of the country that every single...
Ok, let's accept everything you said sir. Let me accept every premise. STILL there are deals to be had. Why? Because not all coins are alike. You...
True sir, but then you are also taking the PM market risk. The reason they constrict is collectors are not willing to pay the pm premium. Your...
What is the cut of Ebay? 10%? Cheaper than traditional, but still pretty steep. Sure, vest pocket dealers have always tried to make some money,...
Fine. Sorry if you believe I mischaracterized "almost always" as always. Still, your thread was pretty dogmatic that collectors will ALMOST ALWAYS...

"Investing in coins". Bad, bad idea. If you want to invest, invest in investments, (stocks, bonds, land, etc). If you wish to diversify then...
Lol, I hear you. Auctions on other sites are up for a month of more sometimes. Even worst. I was looking at a coin a long time, and was high...
Just be careful guys. These aren't hoards in the proper sense of the word. A true hoard of coins are a group found together that the owner buried...
I agree. There is benefit to the auction company of underbidders, it still does not lessen the sting if its you and you really wanted the coin...
[ATTACH] I bought this for about 1/3rd of what online dealers want for it from a local coin show. Its an Ostrogothic gold coin struck after the...
...Characeans, Sassanids, Parthians, Kushans, Sogdians, White and Red huns, Indo-scythians, Indo-parthians, Elamites....... This just illustrates...
