So what is it? 794 entries, 32 pages, is it just a listing of people on the coins? I cannot imagine they can list types in that short of time....
I agree completely Mike with your post. I too do not think these certified bullions will be worth premiums, especially what they are asking for...
I had never heard of it either Doug, though I have bought from Wayne Phillips. He is a nice old time dealer who issues paper catalogs a few times...
Like Doug has said, two things are going on, silver is up and numismatic coins are soft. This is creating a situation where many more coins are...
Close, but I would say the bullion banks are the market makers instead of speculators. In every market like this there has to be someone...
I would go further and say that if educated buyers are not setting the price then prices paid are unsustainable. Market professionals in most...
Mine was a facing head Larissa AE. I was hooked as soon as I bought that coin, (for way too much it turns out, but I still own it). I think it was...
Nothing is boring unless you make it boring. To me, nothing is more boring than standardization and by extension mechanically stamped coins. It is...
http://dictionary.weather.net/dictionary/commodity Of course gold is a commodity. Is your gold any different than anyone elses? Simply because...
I just wanted to say I got my copy of ERIC II Friday, (number 040). Man what a massive book. He listed 1458 pages, but they are large, heavy paper...
Great clarification Doug, much better explained than I hamfistedly attempted.
I agree with the fact that Nabateans are not Greek. However, one has to be careful since in ancient coinage most coins are classified as either...
Try getting some yellow envelopes, (contains sulphur), moisten lightly, put a penny in it and put them in an oven at about 200 degrees. Pull out...
You don't Doug? Why is that? I just remember the late 70's/80's and what they did there. My thougth would be that the flush cash in the industry...
I agree with Cloud that the smelters aren't swamped this time, and back when silver was $50 they were paying about $40 intrinsic value. Of...
To be fair I think that people should guess what the market value was in 2005, or what is the point of all of this? To insult Doug? I know he is...
My local dealer yesterday was at 17x for small transactions, 18x for larger ones, and 19x for silver dollars. If I were to find fault it is that...
I never said PM prices do not discourage new collectors or that it does not harm coin collecting. I was talking about existing collectors and the...
Well, I find it interesting that hundreds of cultures all over the world with no interaction have all settled on a 16:1 ratio. Kind of hard to say...
Peace dollar is a great idea. Another would be a large cent or two cent piece. They are always conversation starters. Maybe even a half cent.
