OK, I see what you are saying...or trying to say....but we are talking about grading -- an opinion -- on something that is supposed to be a...
The New Gold is long-duration U.S. Treasury bonds...that's what capital seeks in a crisis. In 1979, the gold market traded $800 million a day and...
No....but even someone as good as you, JP....if you saw that MS-66 MSD CAC I just bought...and tried to do 'better'...how long would it take...
Yeah...but....unless I have the ANA book right next to me and spend 10 minutes looking at the coin, I'm not sure I can be as good as some of you....
It's called a REVALUATION which meant after the suckers, er people, gave their gold in at $20.67/oz., it was suddenly worth $35/oz. :D Today, you...
Yes...care to try for extra credit ? :D Not a good example, IMO. No 2 paintings are exactly alike. Each painting is unique. Lithographs are in...
I was offered another MS-66 AND an MS-67 common, both with AND without CAC. I'm told it was a common year, friend will get back to me, but he...
I thought 1031 exchanges dealt with in-kind real estate ? I'm an investment analyst, not a real estate guy or tax guy, so this is above my pay...

I hear where you are coming from, but I think Condition and Eye Appeal are like those old Venn Diagrams we learned as kids...I think they overlap...
Yup, Paul, I keep forgetting. I'm not familiar with Numismedia, I have to check MS-66 CAC MSDs on Ebay and Heritage to see if I paid average or a...
Sidebar about counterfeiting the slabs.....are the PCGS and NGC holograms able to be digitally encrypted with the actual grade and coin so even if...
Thanks....I have lucked out so far, seem to have chosen some good coins with my most expensive coins. I really need to read the ANA grading book...
I think affordability of lots of coins even in all the Mint States accounts for it. Even with the premiums, affordability -- esp. if you go down...
Is that accurate ? Wow, maybe I got a good deal....I paid about $800 as I believe. I thought silver was $17/oz. figured it was almost 50x that...
Thanks Ethan...it's on my TO BUY list.
Yes....and Eddie, I am sure you are one of the sharp ones...but for most of us (myself included) and for 99.9% of the collectors, they are NOT...
RPM ? RPD ? Summit by email ? I'm lost......:oldman:
Someone tell me I'm not an idiot for paying over 50x the intrinsic value for a coin. :D I paid much less percentage-wise for my $20 Saints. In...
