No, that would be the going price. I just bought a coin on Ebay and in the pic it looked ordinary, but in hand it was a lustrous silvered beauty,...
Severus Alexander is a very easy ruler to find. Nothing is wrong with that coin pictured except for porous surfaces. Its not a bad coin, its just...
Our grading scale, which predates US grading by centuries, is Fair-XF, wit an exquisite example as struck and fine style being FDC. We use "a"...
I have to agree with others. I actually saw an original roll of these being opened about 25 years ago, not one of them looked that shiny. I...
Then that is a great attitude Ken. I simply remember Canadian stuff selling for almost nothing for decades since the RCM flooded the US market in...
When anyone tries to equate mineral, (or other natural resource), wealth has anything to do with long term success of their economy, I simply...
I respect that Ken, but there is a corollary even to those who don't buy most. When a mint saturates the market like this, it has a tendency to...
Its great you are interested, but there is no such thing as a Redbook for ancients. We literally have hundreds of thousands more types than US...
Yeah, but I have quite a few ancients with tags from the 60's, (a few from the 30's). In most of those cases you would have been better off buying...

I have two ancients in slabs. I have broken out dozens. One of the two is an error slab, listing the wrong year, wrong emperor, etc. I keep it for...
I hear you OP. Even official Canadian mint products are numerous. A few years I posted here that I counted I believe 86 different commemoratives...
This is correct. It appears that for gold coins CONOB was either a declaration of Constantinople fineness, or more likely in my mind it was simply...
"Damm mint" issue, huh? :)
One has to ask the question, if a counterfeit is so perfect it cannot be detected does it matter? The reason I do not worry is I buy coins for...
Yeah, I agree with others. Unfortunately the PM market has a very long and ugly history with identical schemes. PM vendors promise you its in a...
I was referring sir to one chance per account who was a long term customer of the mint retail products. I believe this would not allow MCM to be...
That's the point though, they should. In my business if we have a popular product creating a shortage we make sure the companies who have bought...
Trust me, MCM and Silvertowne ARE getting these. They have probably hundreds if not thousands of people they hire to game the US mint system. It...
Of course a price target is appropriate. Unless you know them very well, "test" a dealer with a few lower priced coins. Give him the max you would...
