Well if you look at the last 10 years you have looked at the greatest period you could possibly choose in the history of PM. Like most small...
Bad idea, too many temperature swings. Coins are small, heck I have about 5,000 in a $75 a year SD box. Not all packaged up or slabbed, but...
The sad thing is that in most parts of the world, the shop wouldn't have accepted it. I have to always remember to sort through US $100 before I...
Except for the fact that probably 70% of Roman collectors buy based upon the obverse only. :) I find this so true as to not even mention it...
Are you saying we have a mental disorder for our hatred for slabs? I resemble that remark. Chris
This would simply be mortgaging our future yet again. The Fed returns massive profits to the Treasury every year, and if you did this it would...
I simply think that is your cultural view. I believe a large percentage of the world values gold because of its value, not innately for its...
I actually had something similar happen to my sister DavidH. She is manager of a cage in a casino. A lady came in wanting to convert SL, Barbers,...
If someone is in the market for ancients, I would also recommend CNG. They have some huge important auctions, but also have electronic auctions...
Is it really worth it? I ask since I get a couple of regular magazines like this and never consider them collectible so don't worry about the...
I very much doubt you have much to worry about. I would just go over them to make sure they are all what they are supposed to be, as I have seen...
Of US coins in my collection: 1. 1795 Flowing Hair dollar - Amazing huge coin from the early days of the mint 2. 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel -...
I agree 99% of the time you are right, but it really depends on how BIG of SHTF it is. Worldwide, global recession and insane interest rates? Gold...
This is why IMO I wish Ebay would have some sort of % listing fee simply to discourage some types of auctions. If I saw something like this on...
I wouldn't say manipulated, just "hot". Hot markets can also cause losses if a person buys at the top. There are just way too many buyers for this...
That, and the dysfunctional, highly manipulated, and overpriced stock markets there and I can see why the rich do not know where to put their...
To me it doesn't matter. A "market" is simply the price at which items are changing hands, regardless of reason. In antiquities you have a lot...
Disclaimer: Not trying to start another toned coin posting war. I am not going to comment on HOW to do it properly, or if any coins today that...
Its very hot but I think the good stuff still has some room to run. Chinese antiquities hit "insane" levels for common stuff a few years ago and...
That's why I snipe Guy. I won't camp an auction. I place a snipe at a price I would be happy at, lose 99% and win a few. Same idea, and I don't...
