I agree with Peter. If the coin you are buying is effectively valued at melt value, there should be no expectations of premium condition, only...
Yeah, you never know about shows. I have gone to the CICF and left empty handed except for some books, (sadly this will not happen again, but the...
Another thought might be buying a 18th century coin that was extensively used in the US. Here I am talking about a Spanish 8 reales or smaller...
Lol, relax man. I never get mad at someone who outbids me fair and square. I don't think its right to sellers for us to try to collude. Like I...
Oh, YOU were the one who outbid me, huh? Did you buy the other one in the same auction?
I have the utmost respect for the poster as well, and thought it was an excellent suggestion. I was simply explaining the difficulty to the OP in...
Maybe, but on the other hand its a bronze disk. Usually the issue with unstruck planchets is PROVING IT. Since its not struck, this is a lot...
I understand your point sir, but I agree with VPR. I have seen the posted buy prices from dealers, and, (at least here in the US), all of them...
The tax treatment would be the same if held and sold in the same manner. If both held after-tax outside a retirement vehicle, then both would be...
The AGE has a higher price, but it also usually has a higher resale value. Plus, it tends to be a little more liquid than the Maple Leaf, as more...
I hear you Martin. I don't even collect Probus but bought one a couple of months ago just like your third coin but opposite, the obverse of mine...
Yeah, I forgot the Greek one Ras has. Not really a fan of that one, its just way too busy.
Well, the dealer stated $720 on the video. I said it was priced more for a dealer, but how many fakes would it take to pay for itself? One half...
Too bad its more at a dealer pricepoint than a normal stacker pricepoint. If they had a smaller model around $199 I would buy one, and would...
Oh, I put over $1,000 in my pocket above the purchase price, (it was a fantastic deal), and still kept the best/most interesting 100. But I am a...
Nice writeup. Yeah, I bet my wife would like it if I came home with more money than I left with, but that only happened once. Unfortunately she...
I believe we will continue to see new lows in the future, so I wouldn't be putting your retirement savings in new proof sets. People have been...
They can come in that grade, but usually have been dipped. This coin has both the grade and has not been messed with it appears. I find the...
Yes, Ras has another larger poster of both Emperors and Empresses. He also has a Byzantine poster. I have been bugging him for quite a while to...
I love both types. I especially love the crazy Commodus coin. This effectively is what got him killed, his psychotic belief he was the demi-god...
