Aluminum dollars? Why not plastic with a hologram to prevent counterfeiting? But I can think of a couple of reasons why it might be costly to...
I tried to figure this out without looking at any other posts. I think you could probably get a minimum of $3,500 for the set because of the...
ranchhand, You have a good eye for quality.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. It is also highly unusual these days for anyone to go "on the record" 5,000 times without being sued or going...
EagleEyed, Good point. It is probably a bad trade-off to go to prison over a coin. Holding illegal and non-liquid assets is probably inferior...
smb, The advice you received is very conventional, but tough to support based on the numbers. High quality "investment grade" gold coins rose...
At some point in time, perhaps not far into the future, silver will be "hot" again as it was in the early 1980s. That will be the time to unload...

Speedy, I was just passing on the information, not endorsing it. But for the sake of accuracy and to correct the assertions in your post, (1)...
I read one time, I forget where, that if you have more than 20 coins in your collection, you probably have mishandled the collection because you...
I've had mixed results buying raw coins online, so I hesitate to suggest a dealer I haven't actually tried. But several people on this forum have...
Also, many stores with "hobby" sections carry inexpensive folders suitable for circulated Lincoln cents. Marshalls is one of them.
I've purchased from that site. Their prices are good and I've never had a problem.
Is it better to buy these sets (and modern commemoratives in general) from the mint or do they usually sink in price in the secondary market after...
I've also had problems returning rolls. While never rejected, I've been made to stand there and actually watch someone open the rolls and recount...
