Hmmm. Guess I'd finish off my Morgan set. Buy a nice high relief St Gaudens double eagle. Then use the rest to take a nice vacation on some remote...
Nice Ikes Ruben. I too have been trying to assemble a nice set of Ikes. At the risk of being ridiculed, I think the set is about to take off. I...
I collect both, but prefer the Morgan. In my experience, the Peace dollar set has been a real nightmare to put together. Morgans, on the other...
True...only if it's an inheritance. Gifts are not subject to taxation. I'd suggest large inheritances be gifted. I know this as a fact, as my...
I think a documentation of your collection really depends on what you plan on doing with it in the future. For those of us who hope to someday...
Ok, at the risk of being laughed out of the room, here goes. I found a book of supposedly real Chinese coins spanning about the last 100 years....
The coins are circulated that I plan on placing in the albums. The coin shop I buy them at puts them aside for me and sells them for 2$ each. They...
I've bought a few old Library of Coins albums from the 1950's. They are all in extremely great shape. My question is, are there any long term...
I have to agree. And even though silver and gold have fallen market-wise, their bullion counterparts have remained well above spot due to a lack...
Now I see it. The previous pic was too light and hard to make out just where to look. Thanks for the clarification. Guy~
Wow! Old Leroy certainly has better eyes than me, because even with the enlarged pics I can't see anything there out of the ordinary. Am I looking...
The same question could be asked as to why it's not an MS 68, as well. Who here can precisely answer that while listing criteria for assigning a...
You're not alone. MS70 is a figmint of TPG's imaginations. To be technical here, the only true "perfect" coins are the very very few that are the...
Actually, yes I have. People are so caught up in buying bullion gold, they overlook real gold coins (numismatic gold). Every coin shop in my area...
Thats because most dealers probably bought at prices much higher than what spot is now. Nobody likes to lose money, so they have to sell that much...
Gold coins. And I don't mean modern bullion rounds. Numismatic gold is suprisingly cheap. You can pick up untold numbers of 100+ year old gold...
Hi Jim. Glad you like the Morgan. My pics of it weren't too great either, so I wasn't sure if you'd like it as much in person. Keep fighting that...
That, combined with your above metals quotes should be a reason to be buying right now, not holding off. Why wait till the markets rebound and...
I don't think it's a bad deal at all. You'd pay almost that, maybe more, on slabbing fees alone. Post some pics when you get them. Guy~
AJ, these aren't coins, but I do have a few tokens with trains on them. The first is the 100th anniversary token of the town I live in. The...
