And that's something I've bitched about here for years.....the TPG's go through these coins so damn quick, I don't care how much of an expert you...
Just curious...how often does Stacks-Bowers hold online auctions ? HA does weekly.
The crash was pretty much over by 2000-02. By 2000 gold had bottomed at about $280/oz. The premiums for the most popular coins -- i.e., Saints,...
Weighing and divisor effect, like the DJIA, might be in play.
No, if you quantify it via a regression analysis it will generally show a weak direct linear relationship. If the stock market is plunging,...
Actually, it was a result of hype -- most of it REAL and LEGITIMATE -- about Wall Street firms coming in and buying coins with hundreds of...
Depends on WHEN you buy numismatic gold. The presence of bubbles in the last 30 years leads to skewed results.
To me, you can clearly see that the coin prices are following a LAGGED movement in PM prices. It's not an exact relationship, but you can clearly...
OK, I see the "classic" in them but where is the "commemorative" part coming into play ? We're just talking classic silver/gold coins....you...
I looked at the area I have some expertise in....Saints. It is ridiculous. The purpose of an index is to have a SMALL number of items reflect...
The Commemoratives fell off a cliff about 2 years after gold/silver collapsed....it's like the coins resist a decline in the underlying PM for a...
If this PCGS 3000 index really has 3,000 or close to 3,000 coins in it, that's too many. A 50-coin index is probably much better and if the coins...
Except that the market can remain irrational far longer than you can remain solvent. Keynes. :D Interest-bearing assets like stocks and bonds...
Long-time dealers who have been in the business for decades should be listened to....ultimately, they buy and sell and they can tell you WHY they...
Did you see those posts on another site a few years ago -- I think I linked them here at CT -- where somebody complained that a Franklin that he...
I commend them for their effort. However...today....it might be better to have a coin index more like the DJIA and not like the S&P 500 or...
Can someone give me an example of a "Classic Commemorative" ? Are we talking about those collection sets I used to get as a kid in the 1970's...
Unfortunately, very true. Do you remember exactly WHEN this transformation happened ? It sort of relates to my post above.....should a...
Yup, and bag marks seem to be given a free pass. "Mint State" literally means mint condition, pristine....and maybe direct from the Mint (BEFORE...
Awesome, thanks !! I am scheduled to stay through Sunday (as of now) even though I suspect 3 days would be more than enough (maybe even 2 :D!)....
Separate names with a comma.
