I don't know about the 'real money' part, but I essentially agree with your well-written post.
Can we confirm or refute my assertion that silver coin or rounds or whatever in recent weeks was under 10% premium to bullion ? Just want to make...
Is it possible that when the ANA standards were devised....they didn't want to come up with loopholes, like those old Venn Diagrams which...
That's an excellent point, one on which I go back-and-forth on. In theory...in theory...bag marks are going to do less damage than circulation...
I think that's the thing that is part of subjective grading and not part of the official ANA grading method (at least I assume it's not): should a...
My Big Picture, since we got distracted: Gold is a speculation (though you can hold it if you like for a small % of your portfolio or as a hedge...
JCP, thanks for the grading info...I'm going out now to check out the coin, the photos from my friend are crap. :D Better be worth the trip or...
Not at all JPC, it never came across as that. I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to post. Believe me...keep it coming, I'm learning...
Someone paid attention in grammar school.......:D Yeah, I think that he was so fixated on the trees he missed the forest. As he did with his...

Yes, I realize that no 2 MSDs are exactly alike and some people LOVE toned MSDs, DMPL, etc. I'm even seeing big differences in generic MS-66's...
But an index like the S&P 500 doesn't include many small-caps which would bias it upwards. And studies have shown that any bias to Cowles or...
That helps a little, thanks Paul. But take a look at the filter I applied:...
Just my look, I'm always tipping over.....:D
No it doesn't. The index takes into account ALL stocks, not just winners or losers. Anybody with 1 or 2 or even 3 stocks isn't investing,...
You think so ? I can't find completed auctions on Heritage for MS-67's but Ebay auctions for MS-66's 1879-s seem $200-$300. Seems like a big...
We've had posts/threads talking about specials on Ebay from some of the silver sellers....I didn't buy myself, but I believe some of the premiums...
Thanks JCP....I asked him to go back and get me some pics, since it's 1 1/2 hours for me to do a round trip and 10 minutes for him. Will let you...
Is This In The Ballpark ? Got a text message this morning while writing my weekly financial reports that a friend saw an MS-67 1879-S Morgan at...
