Are proof eagles only 3% above spot? I am asking, since I am guessing you are talking about proofs, since the mint does not sell bullion coins to...
I don't know about India, but many sources state that up until the late 1960's Peroz coins of the Sassanian empire circulated alongside 1000 year...
Ancient collectors label all anvil dies as the obverse to the coin, regardless of if it the portrait or not. Look at Corinthian staters, the...
Btw OP, I kept looking for damage on Liberty's face. I think you are talking about the damage on her waist and leg. If "face" you meant the side...
Well, the discussion I was hoping to start was: At what point is a tooled coin not really a coin anymore? Problem with tooling can be seen on this...
I agree with others. There is nothing wrong with the urge to "collect" bullion coins, but I would suggest going to a coin show and picking out the...
Yes, it is pointed out, but Ray Charles knows its tooled without having to be told. My concern is selling such a thing for any price. To me, the...
I will not say where this photo is from, but was shocked the firm is selling it. This is one of the worst examples of her I have ever seen...
The reason for the huge swoon in PT is the near death of diesel car engines. I like PT at these prices, and am placing another order tomorrow, but...
Um, I know about Collectors Universe. I used to be a shareholder. Thanks for the condescension, though, always helpful to conduct a civilized...
Yes, cross membership of Board involvement happens quite a bit. However, it is reviewed by the SEC if the net affect of said cross membership...

So are you in a position to verify what @C-B-D asserts is untrue? You can say its "nonsense" all you want, but do you know no one at CAC is on any...
I liken the situation to the NGC ancient slabbing. David Vagi, who designed the program and runs it, IS a very good dealer. His general...
Nice pieces. I think I have most of those on the poster. I started a tet collection for a while, got about 8 different types. I love all of the...
Come talk to us. Buy from good dealers and fakes are not a concern. We are hostile enough to slabbers that I am unsure if it will affect us much....
I would agree, as well as one other point. Yes, people made money investing in "condition rarity" and "key coins" over the years. They were good...
More people should read this. NEVER try to take out staples to remove coins from 2x2s. You WILL have an accident someday and seriously scratch a...
Oh, don't do that. Have you considered ancient coins? We HATE slabs. We have parties celebrating cracking them open. I keep the insert, since it...
I agree heartily with the thread. This is a nuance most new collectors do not get. A grade is a REPRESENTATION of the overall desirability of a...
