IMO, except for the 1996-W, they will continue to be worth bullion value plus a bit.
But I DO have my unusual interests. A couple years ago I decided that I wanted to have one example each of a coin struck at Dahlonega (the first...
People are often very receptive. BUT IMO they are people who haven't done their homework. They start thinking gold and silver pieces (bullion) but...
My primary collection is a type set based upon the NGC Registry (1793-1964) definition. Therefore I have one example of each of the coins you...
I find that I'm liking the small coins more and more. I haven't gotten into trimes yet. The only ones I have are the 3 types for my type set. But...
Here's the two coins I brought home with me from the Philly Show. The 1795 half cent is out for grading so no pics yet. And I bought Lange's book...
Yep, really like the Antietam commem half. I collect early commems but low priority so lots of holes and not many pick-ups. I'd certainly be proud...
Back from the Philadelphia Whitman show (Friday). Although its size was about half that of a Baltimore Whitman show, there were still plenty...
Most of your "sold for small loss" can probably be attributed to "buying at retail; selling at wholesale", particularly if the person who bought...
Well, that description will certainly make you stand out in the crowd ;) Could be a description of me (except I have hair, albeit gray). And I'll...
I recommend that you make a wantlist. List the coins you are most interested in getting, what grade you want, and how much you are willing to pay....
I can be an expert at something without being the most knowledgeable on that topic. I would suggest that an expert is someone who can legitimately...
I list items sporadically nowadays. A few each month. I used to list 15-25 items a week. eBay's policies regarding sellers has gotten so onerous...
First, what set grabs you the most? It's much more fun to collect something that really interests you. Second, what will your wallet support?...
Once again: Expensive Coin + No Slab = No Interest BTW, here's what PCGS calls a VF-30: [IMG] Let me be the first to say that if you go by...
Expensive coin - No slab - No interest (Except as an exercise in determining what's wrong with it.)
The NGC Registry Gold Type Set (1834-1933) contains four half eagles. This is the short type set, not the full set starting from 1795. I have all...
I'll definitely be there on Friday. If I don't got I just blew $100 on Amtrak tickets.
I got my 1908 No Motto MS64 NGC for $800, but that was back about 3-4 years ago when gold was about $700. In fact I got most (if not all) my gold...
A better looking coin in the image. BUT Why try and guess if it's been cleaned? On eBay go for only the slabbed ones. If you want to buy a raw...
