So are you trying to be able to attribute all varieties on a series? You really need to get a book specifically on that series to be able to. Yes,...
^This. Littleton's business model is bringing new collectors into our hobby. They don't position themselves as sources for existing collectors. As...
Well, what are you trying to attribute? That would help. Nowadays there are books for about anything you are looking for, be a little more...
Lol, that was a throwback for sure. At least he perfected "the look" and hope he isn't getting into any more friendly gas fights!
True, not in absolute value, but it effectively can. I would say silver at $4 when I bought it was effectively zero based upon how much relative...
Small investors get excited. That is the entire basis for understanding them to me. Small investors typically do not understand the markets or...
For $50, another idea could be a large cent. These are large, impressive looking coins. I liked your idea of a flying eagle cent as well, or even...
I just don't get the posts here about grading companies. You know, its not a requirement to send coins into TPG to enjoy coin collecting. I have...
Very impressive looking coin Mat. I love the obverse portrait especially. I can see why its your new ID coin. Yeah, the coin you showed me mat...
I was referring to your post earlier Cloud, and the fact that gold and platinum had a higher ratio of short concentrations than silver did. People...

We are questioning it since they were worth about 30x face then for melt. 10x seemed very low, and I am sure there are hundreds of members here...
But you have the "disease" of coin collecting man! :) Same as the rest of us. Personally I would be tickled pink with abolishing $1 and $2 bills...
Yep, until those items start languishing in inventory for 6 months while all current sales go to competitors. If silver went to $15 for three...
The only reason that the mint even STARTED making silver dollars after 1904 was because Congress sold off our Morgan dollar reserves to Europe...
I am not screaming it, but you should ask others about it. The main danger I think of is since it is not BU or AU, those surfaces really shouldn't...
Nope, not for a while. This was my experience in the 80's, the dealers were always trying to recoup prices from 6 months ago almost the entire...
Great post, thank you. So, gold and platinum is even more lopsided to shorts versus longs. Why all of the conspiracy theory about silver and no...
IDK either, but "steel blue" is an old time color reference in US collecting, so it has been around a while. Yes, I believe there was a product...
