This has been my approach as well, but not with Ike dollars. Whenever you can purchase a coin for close to bullion value that also has...
Did these come from a family member? If so, I'd just keep them as is as a rememberance. If not, I'd still be inclined to leave the sets intact....
You'll just have to learn to live with those rough estimates of the weight.:rolleyes:
Just to clarify, do you really mean common date MS64 morgans or were they the MS65 morgans selling for $1500. It's hard to believe that an MS64...
The point is that there is a chance for the silver eagle coin to develop numismatic value. The bar probably never will. The 2006-w uncirculated...
I also no longer get rolls from the bank. First, they don't normally have any and won't order them. Second, it seems that in the last couple of...
The middle ground between jumping in and getting out would be to sell one or two morgans and see if you turn a profit. That will let you know...
If you think you might have an MS70, and plan to resell it soon, NGC might be better and hope for the better grade that PCGS won't assign. If you...
Great chart. But it appears that people who put collections together in the 70s probably made out okay investment-wise. Buying into a mania,...
Douglas, You are correct. The disappearance of halves is as much a matter of habit, technology, and fashion than anything else. But people...
It's amazing that a book published annually with most of the mintage information unchanged can develop errors in the database. One would think it...
I'm completely agnostic on this. I have slabbed coins in circulated and uncirculated condition, and raw coins in circulated and uncirculated...
I responded to the discount silver eagle offer several years ago. However, I didn't like the selection of coins they sent and cancelled the...
With silver eagles selling at modest premiums to melt, there is less reason to buy junk silver now than there was years ago. Don't just consider...
Having lived in three houses with water problems, I would raise that safe up at least a few inches off of the floor for peace of mind. One of...
I have two. Wish I had a hundred. Every collector who wants to keep their silver eagle date/mintmark collection completed will need one, which...
I think the kennedy half is the best looking of the clad coins. It's getting to be a pretty large set to collect. I almost started collecting...
The platinum quarters have no numismatic value, but they may have some collector's value. Everything is collectible as long as there are people...
I find it difficult at times to distinguish between casting and the pourous surface that might occur from corrosion. Is there any way to reliably...
My grading technique isn't nearly as good as many people here, so their opinions should carry more weight than mine. But I've never been...
Separate names with a comma.
