How about the Old Man rounds they slabbed? Here is an NGC press release: https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/3417/
Here is how I think it happens: (1) Someone achieved a top pop MS 67 coin; it is one of one and the highest valued via auction result. (2)Others...
From the CAC website: I noticed that CAC uses the term “premium quality” to describe coins that receive a CAC sticker. How does CAC define...
I agree that the specific examples cited in the letter with higher populations and lower auction results are factual. However, these are highly...
You may be right but I don't know for sure. What I do know, is that collectors of toned coins (which is where I fit as well) pay a premium for...
Some ACG holders are very collectible. The one you show is very common (i.e. little to no premium). Bradford is a company like HSN or other tv...
Toned (particularly monster toned) Ikes are doing fairly well (even in common grades and it helps if it's an NGC coin with a "STAR" designation).
If it is a typical dealer, I'd say $0.50-$2 over spot would be your range for Eagles with many being at $1 over (likely slightly more for older...
From what I have seen lately, PCGS tends to be easier on toned coins. So you can try to crack it and send it there. Or potentially send it to...
No double standard here; I'm ok with both Carr and these items. Like it was already said, collect what you like! Plus, altering common Morgans,...

That stinks. Maybe someone on this forum has the original order forms or mail ads that have the maximum authorized numbers? Otherwise it looks...
It must be somewhere in the US Mint records. This page looked like it might be promising (it said there was too much data to list), but when one...
Here are the total mintages from the US Mint (still no breakdown by sets): https://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/indexe3df.html?action=hccs42
I was searching and have mostly come up blank. If anyone has the order forms from 1996, there might be information on those. The other source...
The US Mint is one of the few areas of government that is profitable and returns money to the coffers. It is nice that there is an area of...
Follow-up questions asked on the same thread. Hopefully we'll see an answer on Monday.
While some are a great resource, a bunch are not. Frankly, with the kind of service/prices/attitudes I have seen, I am surprised how many are...
What you are seeing is a coin that is proof-like; these are not rare, but certainly have a cool look to them (they aren't worth much of a premium;...
Your point about private companies is true. However, big time mints have done the same thing! The Perth Mint went back and reissued various 1990s...
