You didn't miss anything, it was my fault to not say that in my original post. ;)
I completely agree for 2012. My post was talking about a 3 year timeframe approximately, just for clarity.
I don't ever see it diving short of another financial scare. If Germany bails Europe out, US stabilizes, and China starts growing again, I simply...
Oregon Trail. To me, this one ranks next to the buffalo nickel in beauty and US cultural importance in design. Beautiful coin that really...
I would post them in the Ancient and world section Andrey. More ancient collectors like me read that section. :)
Yeah, it surprised me as well when I first learned it. Gold does not really appear in nature as flakes, it appears as small grains, but those...
I agree with TC and Cloud that you USUALLY recoup this premium, but at a point OP you are right that you wouldn't. Two things going on with...
I do man. :) I truly am grateful, deep down, that so many collectors like new, shiny coins. That way they leave the old, dirty, crummy coins for...
Ignoring bullion, rolls, bags of misc world coins, and bags of uncleaned ancient Roman, bulk chinese, and the like, maybe I am around 10k. Its not...
Very interesting. I think with this new technology we will see more recoveries in the near future. I wonder how much silver and gold bullion are...
I think a lot of us were envious. :) Glad it was a positive part of your life Jason. Maybe someday you will be able to revisit the industry. In...
Man Jason, outstanding idea for a contest. First, I would thank Peter and Doug for putting this whole thing together. Second would be the mods...
IDK man, but still better struck than most of my Byzantine. ;)
Sorry, I guessed I missed that point while I was approving a sales order for over 1 million pounds of product my company just sold to China Cloud....
I think you had a typo. If you meant 20,000 maybe I could try. :)
I prefer coins with history, and not made just for collectors last week. But, to each his own, and I truly am glad it is enjoyable to you Ruben....
Just as an update, I found this: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/27154056/COMPOSITION-OF-THE-MEDALS-OF-THE-OLYMPIC-GAMES 1992 and 1996 were NOT...
I just read that story from a link from coinflation. I think its wrong. I distinctly remember in the 80's they changed back to solid gold medals...
Big dreamer maybe. ;) Also, such a question is a little harder for me since $1000 on a coin is doable. I have spent that or more for a coin....
Maybe a nice Cleopatra VII 80 Drachma in gVF/XF. Unfortunately most of my dream coins cannot be had for $1000. :( Now give me $5-10k to buy...
