Great overview! Thanks for taking the time to write it. I used registered mail for the first time recently to do a CAC shipment. The only two...
Thanks for your report, Charmy. I'm not able to attend these big shows right now, so your reports give a feel for what it is like.
Agreed - as I read the first part of your post it made me think of classic silver commemoratives. As a whole those coins were priced really high...
Welcome! I agree with others' comments and think it is wise to add silver slowly to account for the variation in spot. I have silver as a small...
Interesting discussion - thanks everyone. To go back to an earlier point: Could a collector - not a dealer - who owned coins CAC had accepted...
I am curious about the CAC business model. Other posts have said that the grading fee represents a small portion of the income of the company,...
64 63 60 Was my first attempt. Anxious to see your results!
Here is one of my favorites: A 1799 Draped Bust Heraldic Dollar. It is my only coin from the 1700s. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I agree with above, and will also add that the overhead from a TV show necessitates the need for high prices / poor overall value. Any offer that...
The liquidity of ASEs and 90% junk silver is hard to beat. I also like one other poster's point that it is relatively easy to divide / disperse...
In your experience, when Morgans are toned on both sides versus just one what is the chance that they are artificially toned? I'm not talking...
Appreciate the correction, Paul.
Nice set. I like how the condition is very similar among the coins. How long did it take you to complete the collection?
In my opinion, the only coins I've bought so far that have been "bad buys" are problem coins that I didn't realize at the time were indeed problem...
These are great suggestions! I recently read "The Art of Grading Coins" by Jadon Poe. I wish I had read it years ago when I started this...
