I would agree with the dealer most likely. It all comes down to supply and demand like you said. Is there a large amount of shield nickel proof...
Exactly. The term "junk" is ONLY valid within a time and price frame. If silver went to $100 an ounce, the vast majority of most people's coins,...
Well, you being a true Mexican coin geek I would expect you do. :) I need to see if Roscoe is still alive. I would love to introduce the two of...
The Journal isn't what it once was. Why the sensationalistic headline "dumping"? They didn't need the money before so they bought treasuries. Not...
Lol, we have just been buying and collecting a long time. Thinking back, I believe I bought one from John Ferm locally, and another from Frank...
Of the Cabillitos? Yeah, I think I have 2 or 3. I am always a sucker for them. Another spectacular design every bit as great as any US coins.
Post mint product. They were popular in the 80's.
I just wished I had paid attention to the collection before. Personally I believe I have a 20th century type set of Mexican short just a couple of...
Maybe it has to do with stocks, but this is such a small market I don't think we will see the true bottom until the last of the doomsdayers and...
Yeah, it is. We are the "cool kids" in our own mind, but yeah, to everyone else we are like Star Trek nerds. I watch the Big Bang Theory and...
Wow. I thought having a 2 and 4 year old was expensive, (and wife).
Yeah, its sad to spend the price of a nice denarius just on dinner. Man, the ring could have bought me a nice gold Alexander! Is it sad when you...
Well, 3500 ancients do take a while, so I guess I was assuming he would pick up a wife who would put up with his collecting in the meantime. :)

A friend at my old coin club, (must be over a decade ago now), has a Mexican wife. Therefor he started collecting Mexican coins. He claimed to...
I agree with JWT, sounds reasonable to me. Then you will find a specialty, and 350 coins later wonder what happened. THEN, 3500 coins later you...
I have a ton of them, but to be honest not by date. Are there any scarce dates?
I look at it more in 4-5 dollar chunks. Moving from high 18's to 15 was a stage IMHO. Before that is was around 22-23. Humans with numbers are...
But it hasn't. The current drop is from the 18ish level down to around 15. You have to measure drops in stages. Each stage has additional buying...
My first concern would be overlapping dates. Most series had different start/stop dates, so decisions would need to be made about which coins were...
Separate names with a comma.
