MD, those are some kick-ass MSD's ! Did you acquire them over a long period of time....LCS, eBay, or local/regional shows ? Any good deals or...
Jeff, thanks for all the info. I'm gonna hold onto the coins for sentimental value. Hopefully, I won't need the $$$$. :D
Let's hook up if you want. We can meet at the show or maybe go for a short lunch or coffee nearby. I also have to attend the Westchester show...
Right, I forgot.....Tanzania didn't make the coin, they outsourced it. Still, very little money made for the host country but I guess every...
I wonder why a country would even make only 5,000 of this. The costs must dwarf any financial benefit so why do it ? Nice coin, wonder how much...
Then it's really the #1 "older" coin collected, since I don't really consider those expensive enough that it amounts to 'collecting.' I realize...
Yes, Jdiablo, I think that's the guy that had a bunch of Saints. I remember that 1914. Can I ask what you paid for it ? Any negotiating or...
SHOW UPDATE: Got to the Parsippany Coin Show a bit before 11 AM. Attendance was a bit down from the last time I was there, probably because of...
Right, but wasn't sure that applied or didn't apply to special ASEs like Reverse Proofs, Enhanced Finishes, etc.
Yeah, I'm not sure what he means by 'commemoratives' -- does he mean non-regular issue coins, like something for Veterans or is he talking slabbed...
The key is: you are paying a HUGE premium to spot silver by collecting slab only and MS70 only. You need for either the premiums to be...
Yup, thanks Paul...also got 2 rolls of silver quarters. So I guess that's another $20 face or $220 in silver. Jeez, pretty nifty sum my aunt...
You just doubled my money !! Thanks !! I owe you 1 beer and 1 Thai/sushi/chinese dinner ! :D How come they go for a 30-35% premium over spot...
What's the dividing line year-wise for that split ? Never mind....1965, forgot it was only 1 year with 90%. I opened up one with the flap-end...
I got some silver rolls from my aunt today: They are from Commercial Trust Co. of NJ (Jersey City, NJ)....she thinks my uncle got them when...
As long as you are comfortable paying the premiums for MS70's, more power to you. I have a few here-and-there but can't envision making a huge...
I went to a NJ LCS today....I saw an 1882-CC MS64 DMPL...$750. Seemed high to me, plus I think there was sales tax. Also saw an 1884-CC MS65 DMPL...
Parsippany Coin Show is tomorrow, Sunday February 14th (delayed a week due to Super Bowl). Should be a good show, one of the better ones since...
I have a couple of MS66's and 67's with/without CAC...but the PL or DMPL designation can double or triple the cost in that grade.
For Saints, the MS's should still command a slight premium unless a top-notch AU-58 really kicks-ass. I have seen some AU-58's that were better...
