Don't dip the coins.
I would think it's in the best interest of a coin shop to permit customers to cherry-pick them to a certain degree. As long as the dealer is...
The best way for me to learn is through good photos. So it might be helpful to post a series of photos of true double-dies, then a series of...
In my case, I view silver as just another investment vehicle. A cold-blooded analysis of silver led me to believe that at any price below about...
I would think that permitting the TPG to steal the property of a submitter would expose them to some sort of legal liability. I don't think it is...
It isn't that far fetched. If a way could be designed to enable the TPGs to add their multiple opinions to a single generic slab, all of the TPGs...

I would suggest that you use your money to plan for success rather than plan for failure. Betting on the collapse of civilization is a low...

Personally, I'm happy to see PCGS take this step in the right direction. When someone pays for a service, they should get it even if the coin is...
I would say it might be a good idea to slow down, read, and study coins for awhile. If you can be talked out of buying a St Gaudens so easily, you...
I would recommend that you avoid all auction sites such as Ebay except to establish what price range is fair for what you want. You my also want...
Like many others, it's the historical aspect of being able to hold and own something from another time combined with interest in monetary history...
I hope it does happen in my lifetime. The alternative might be a premature exit.:eek:
At this point, it seems more likely that we'll move to a completely cashless/coinless society before Congress gets around to authorizing the...
