I go by the fact that he was one of very few emperors under a Damnatio. I do not judge ancient morality, I look for ancient guidance. It is not my...
I think many of us are. I too could use more experience grading gold. I never collected it most of my collecting life, being unable to afford it.
Who the heck here said anything about gay, transgender, or religion? He raped a Vestal Virgin, on the alter of Vespa, in front of a crowd. He was...
I took that as being on the plastic. Only real thing I saw was on the rays on the reverse. That is the problem both with looking through thick...
I would go with that. Maybe 66+ or something.
Everyone else get the email from CNG this morning saying prices are abnormally high since so many are at home? Makes sense. I just keep coins I...
Wow. As a percentage it really sticks out in these lower markets. $1200 for $600 in bullion kind of hard to stomach.
I visited Chicago and noticed downtown ATMs put out $100s and $50s. I loved it. I wish more ATMs did, I am sick of a pile of $20 every time.
Mine just sent me a similar note but their appointments are only for anyone 60 or older. Therefore, my sdb is now off limits. Luckily I also have...
This is the reason toned coins were never desired in the past. They can simply continue to tone, and the end result is corrosion if not stopped....
From the photos looks very harshly cleaned. I doubt it would be a clean grade as well, for a few reasons. Pretty coin for a display or something.

Don't really display since no one besides me cares. I do have antiquities in a old mahogany china cabinet is only I didn't know where else to put...
I think this started a few years with CNG auctions. I heard they got a massive consignment in and they had a LOT of them for a few months in every...
Fair point about collective demand. But it collective and transactional. A bullion dealer is not risking 10 years of profits by overcharging a...
No, spot IS the "market". Physical long term is tied to spot, but when people get crazy inventory is depleted and premiums get jacked up. I am...
Mostly correct. I believe if you pay cash for a contract upfront on the exchange you can take physical delivery. So, if you have enough cash, you...
Not going to go crazy, but I am looking around seeing what I might like. I am in the food business, so pretty good job security. Some stuff up,...
Real money drives the spot, small investor money drives physical. Big players selling to raise cash to cover margin, be in position to buy on the...
I agree, and am working on the set slowly myself as well. However, sellers who used to want $200 premiums for proof platinum eagles now want $600...
