If the grading is more to establish a grade and have some fun, and not necessarily to turn a profit on the slabbed coin, then by all means have it...
I'm going to say AU55 since the signs of wear are very slight and there appears to be significant amounts of luster under the toning.
To slab or not to slab depends on what a collector wishes to do with their collection. If it was purely about the money, nobody should ever...
The uncirculated ASEs are not "just bullion." They are perhaps the best looking coin ever produced by the US Mint. No gimmicks. Just a...
Buy the silver or regret it later on. If you won't be happy unless you buy at the exact bottom, you will always be disappointed. Trend following...
That's a guess, but by no means the only reason they might be stockpiling strategic industrial metals. The US used to do the same thing back in...
It's just supply and demand. Some coins are more popular than others regardless of spot prices [which are overrated anyway since they represent...
I agree. I don't like the way the direct fit airtites contact the rims. The ring type seem much safer. I believe the material is inert.
It's a very nice design and in good condition. I never understood how tokens are graded since almost every variety has a unique strike. And I'm...
Interesting thread. Hopefully, these ASEs gave their life for a good cause.
People weren't given "receipts" for their gold. They were given cash which they were free to turn into silver money or leave in the bank. I know...
Looking out into the future, my guess is that the population will be larger but poorer than today. So I think coin values will track inflation...
Use of the word "fact" just isn't factual. But it's been repeated so often that folks start to believe it. It took no special ability to save a...
When Roosevelt was president, gold was money. Now it isn't. There isn't much point in confiscating [which was really forced selling, not...
It depends. In 1966, the DJIA broke 1,000 for the first time. Now it is 8,000 plus or minus. The ASE's I purchased for $5 each about 5 years...
I would sell the slab and buy an unslabbed coin. Less risk that way. There is a good chance your PF69 will no longer be PF69 by the time you get...
That's very interesting.
If the coins were circulated, it is possible that the cleaning damage was slight. If you put uncirculated coins in an ultrasonic cleaner with...
I was contemplating putting a collection of Ike's together [individual coins and not necessarily every date and mintmark]. It's probably an...
Separate names with a comma.
