I have bought foreign coins for less than face value. I didn't use them for purchases, but yeah things like $120 worth of canadian coins for $75,...
Nah, its just us old idiots who actually had to learn to grade a coin on our own before the beloved TPG's were invented to take this dreary task...
A nickel not very long ago was 8 cents melt value. I believe we will see this figure again fairly soon. So, $500 in nickels will be worth $800...
One, you are assuming the purchaser only owns these. What if a prospective buyer, like me, spends hundreds a month on collectible coins already?...
Thanks for the link. Maybe I misheard or the presenter was mistaken. I do think it was in the US he was referring.
I know what you are talking about using the wrong staff Doug, but I think its older than that. At least that is what someone in our ancient coin...
I would agree with that. TBH I though the grades given were not far off the mark. I wouldn't have risked having them downgraded.
Just saying sports memorabilia has historically gone hand in hand with autographs of players. When was the last time you saw someone collecting a...
I thought we collected coins, not plastic and autographs. If I wanted to collect autographs, I would still be collecting baseball cards.
ONLY way to go? Um, I disagree with that. Its a way to go, but is assuming that you will be getting better returns with the "low mintage US" part...
I agree. Weird wear pattern as well. The devices are not affected by corrosion, but the fields are? To me, it looks like it was artifically aged.
This is how I knew my main adversary was one other buyer. He was not a shill, though, just another collector who collects what I do, (dang it).
Interesting idea, but I see a couple of problems. How would it know where the physical coin is unless there is a tracking mechanism? I for one...
I agree, nothing to hint its a fake. However, I also agree there is never a guarantee. I have seen fake cast coins of the Ching dynasty. Even if...
The scariest to me would be pretty good fakes in really good fake slabs. A coin in a slab is much harder to prove its a fake, so it only has to be...
Yeah, you always remember the ones that got away. I set up 18 auction snipes a week ago and won NONE, nada, zilch. Same dude overbid me on 12 of...
Yeah, I know. I was lucky las week and got 24 rolls of wire at an auction. Wire is even worst. I still like copper pipes better than that plastic...
This Treasury rule will get repealed as soon as enough of the "old nickels" are gone. They just put it in place to bde time until they figure out...
I thought that was simply a ploy to launch those "old man" rounds and sell them for way too much to all of the suckers who come into their store...
Its a funny thing about "the good old days". As long as I have been a collector, I look back every year and wish I would have bought more then. I...
