I get where you are coming from, Paddy, but at least Rick is a legit numismatist and not a con man. He's not a boiler room operator selling crap,...
If his prices are LOWER than actual sales on Ebay (NOT offers) then it's probably because the market price (FMV) for the item fell substantially....
If the stories that are discussed -- like the European Bank Hoards and pre-1933 U.S. gold -- then it's maybe a friend to the hobby. The rest is...
These are prices being charged by dealers who work with the Mint 1-on-1 ? So they're probably buying at spot plus a sub-$1 premium ?
Charging a big premium at that time was not a surprise since you figure the price will bounce back. Nobody wants to sell into a crash. If you...

I'm looking to get an OGH for a Saint.
Excellent points...somewhere down the line, just like there is some value to a holder irrespective of the coin contained within, I think OGHs...
150,000 Double Eagles according to one source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Republic_(1903)
The only major hoard that is possibly on the horizon would be the RMS Republic which had thousands of Double Eagles as I understand it but they...
Many/most of the coins could have been quasi-bullion or AU or lower for many common coins. I doubt Paramount/Akers were interested in bullion...
Could be the remnants of it with younger guys who acquired the firm, but most likely just another firm using a common name. I think I had the...
