I'm partial to the British Sovereign.
What do you think the grade should be? It practically looks like a real TPG! Maybe they are trying to move up to second tier.
I noticed that maple leafs in the coin shop near me were selling for $12 over the past weekend, still in the mint packaging. Personally, I think...
I would much rather have a circulated coin that is somewhat scarce than a high MS coin of equal value that is more common.
Thanks for the information. It's enough to at least make me start looking at Ebay again. Most silver coins have been wildly overpriced for the...
Valuable information as long as the crossover coins were not selected because they were the best examples of UGS grading. Selection bias often...
The point I was trying to make in my example that probably didn't come out correctly is that there is no inherent reason why each $1 rise in the...
FlyingMoose, I forgot to welcome you, so welcome. I understand that gold and silver bullion is really a cash substitute and not an...
You're going to get a lot of different answers on this. I consider myself about 2/3 investor and 1/3 collector, so take that into account when...
AU is quickly becomming my favorite grade since I value eye-appeal at bargain prices more than a high technical grade. But I agree that it will...

Might be a silver round. Is it market .999 anywhere?
If you look on Ebay, holed coins are cheap, but not as cheap as they "should" be in my opinion. It's probably better to seach through the...
Studying long term trends from old price guides is a good way to discover coins that might be undervalued compared to their peers.
I agree. Real people, living or dead, don't belong on the money of the nation. They belong on commemoratives. It's a little too much like a...
My first reaction was that it was a proof. But when I looked closer and compared it to some other photos of proofs, I started to believe that it...
I have to admit that I get more use out of the North American Coins & Prices guide put out by Krause. I like the fact that Canada and Mexico are...
It's pretty far gone, but you can't walk away from the chance to buy something like that for $2. I would have bought it too.
1945 = 64 1966 = 66 I don't know how to grade coins that look that nice!
