Exactly, I agree completely. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some VF coins I need to break out of some plastic slabs for the New Year.:p Did I...
Great post, Doug....but I had NEVER heard of deliberately trying for a LOWER grade which is what the 1927-D situation involved. :wideyed: And I...
I like the Australia Wedge Eagle and the Saint-Gaudens National Park coins much better. And of course there's the 2009 UHR.
It's rare that a Green CAC will jump the price ABOVE the next grade level for the auctions/coins I've seen intensely; I haven't seen or studied...
Different year, same coin, same mint: I was reading an article on 1927-D's and the article said that a buyer wanted a CAC 1927-D so John Albanese...
Great....I scanned about 6-7 of them, the one GDJSMP commented on. I did a little experiment and when I have time will post the results here.
Are those prices falling ? They should, if the PF70 and PF69's are showing weakness. Doesn't seem you need $2,000 to buy a PF70 anymore.
COA #16 got lots of bids and went for $14,000. But that was a few weeks ago, other COA low numbers going begging at higher and lower prices....
How much does the coin cost ? Is it alot relative to most of your collection ?
Are irregularly produced coins considered commemoratives ? I like the 2009 Ultra High Relief, as well as other Ultra Highs like the 2017...
Thought this article from CoinWeek had some really good POV's and opinions....thoughts on various markets....coin collecting in general...etc....

Are you talking about ToughCoins Counterfeit talk or the get-together in the room ?
Really ? How much snow ? Probably just a dusting, right ? I'm coming from New York, I expect 70 degrees and Sun at FUN !! :D
I am not sure it would be called a commemorative but it's not the annual coin they release either (like the ASE or Maple Leafs or Kruggerands),...
That makes sense. When something doesn't trade that frequently, a published quote that isn't too dated is a decent approximation of fair value,...
Really ? I don't see it on expensive stuff like gold coins and Saints, and not even on cheaper stuff like MSD's. Markups are there, but not 30%...
I never worry about paying an extra 5 or 10% over market for a coin that is somewhat unique (i.e., non-bullion). As long as I'm not paying 20-30%...
I take it the Apollo 50th Anniversary coins (gold ?) weren't a hit ? What were the mintages ?
I'm hoping to pick one of these up at FUN....maybe an MS70 PL. But the price for the "DPL" is ridiculous, exceeded only by the First Strike...
