Good tie-in ! First meeting might have been even earlier than 1906. Surely it took a while to get everything lined up for 1907 minting. Might...
Another interesting angle - 1906 was the first year of the Denver Mint. Maybe tie that in with the 1890s Colorado Gold Rush up near Cripple Creek,...
Thanks ! You're the man ! According to that, gold was 15.2 euros / gram this time last year, and is 17.61 euros / gram now. That's 2.41 e/g,...
EXCELLENT point. I've been trying to find the hard data but couldn't get a one-year chart of gold price in Euros. In one year, Gold has...
By that logic, Lipitor is not worth manufacturing ! What the heck is 10 billion dollars ? Of course they will pull 24 billion dollars worth of...
But one can't compare that new gold to the ENTIRE world economy... only the gold PORTION of the world economy.
Comments and suggestions, huh ? Well, here's one for ya... KEEP ON OPENING THOSE SMALL ENVELOPES ! :D :D :D Dude, you scored ! That one might...
As always, thanks a million for all the research. Less like trivia and more like an encyclopedia ! US didn't make Trade Dollars in 1860. That's...
I think that's beautiful, Ben. Things done from goodness of heart will have a good effect somehow, somewhere. We don't know the details, but we...
Yup.
Clearly NOT original surfaces. Harshly cleaned. I'll dig out my ANA Standards book, but it's certainly not AU. My first guess is VF details at...
That would be me ! Merry Christmas ! As for presents, I already have more blessings than I know what to do with. I hope everyone has a special...
Agreed. That makes sense IF the seller is setting the price. But in an auction, he's not. The buyer(s) set the price.
If I may paraphrase our fine politicians... "$211 trillion here, $211 trillion there... ... before long, you're talkin' about real money !" :D
According to Doug, NGC slabs about 150,000 coins a month. 1.8 million a year. Are you advocating each coin having it's own frequency ? That's...
Rono's point is well made - I think gold will continue to climb. It will be above $800-ish for a long time. IMHO, the only thing that will...
If you like the design, check out Clinker's research into the other designs considered... http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=29944
Great pickup ! Love that design; that's what gave me my handle "900fine". I think there's a limerick in there somewhere.... :rolleyes: ...or...
IF it's got an oz of gold - i.e. a double eagle. An $800 half eagle is $200 for the bullion and $600 for the numismatic value. But I...
It depends. A good way to get a start is to crack open that Redbook and look up your coins. Those prices aren't totally reliable - i.e. I...
