Well don't worry, I will be giving him crap about this one for a while. :) He is a pretty good natured guy.
But, the point of many of us would be an MS65 St Gaudens today would be worth much more IF NOT for the mint already restriking this design. The...
Neither have I really, but it is dramatically unmixed. Maybe there is something going on at the AM, I just cannot tell from photos. It would be a...
Lol. Yeah, I have some of these of course in junk silver piles. With the whole "lowest graded set" stuff going around, I should look through them...
I think they were just referring to the poorly mixed alloy, giving the coin the dramatic coloring difference John.
Good information Numbers, but a fundamentally flawed paper. They are either discounting or leaving out large amounts of applicable data. However,...
The only thing that stands out to me are the striation marks on the obverse from 1 o clock to 8 o clock. I do think its about as original as you...
I agree with the others. Alexander made millions of copper coins, but never identical design to his tets like this piece is. This is an example of...
Um, you could have bought 9 silver eagles, or one tenth ounce gold. How again would youe return today have been better with the gold?
But that is meaningless. If I own $10,000 of either, the silver will be much more volatile price wise than the gold, both up and down. This is the...
Moneta would never sell a coin that someone has called into question its authenticity. He actually has a pretty extensive blackbox. However, he...
As a percentage, its actually the opposite. Silver is much more volatile than gold.
Btw, yeah welcome. :) Concerning the 1/20th ounce, its a horribly ineffective way to collect gold. The premium is just way too high versus gold...
About the same as always. These things always end up too heated unfortunately. I love people are passionate about pm, I always have been, but we...
You had me until "reissue classic coin designs". I simply am not a fan of the US mint reissuing old designs for a few reasons. 1. Its...
What is? Your post is not very clear.
Sorry, I must have gotten that backwards. That will teach an ancient collector to comment on slabs! With the enlarged pic, I would say it should...
I agree with Chris. I wish the reverse blew up more, but sure does not look FS to me. I understand NGC is more lenient on this point, but I do not...
I thought our half dollars were just slightly heavier that 4 reales. So, it could fit. I only remember this because I remember our dollars...
Siamese countermarked dollars were of certain siamese symbols, not just scattered punches. If you ever see one for sale, (by you or just at a...
