Spikes bring in new buyers (that's why they are spiking ! :D ) and that's why most of the $$$ and buyers are brought in near the top.
Any more details ? Was this done via newsletters....infomercials ? You're not talking about Blanchard, are you ?
Because the market for stocks rises close to 70% of the time and the long-run trajectory of equities is UP while commodities -- including gold --...
You nailed it, JM. Somehow, commemoratives did very well in the 1980's and I believe even escaped the brunt of the 1989-90 Coin Bubble Crash....
1926-D: The 1950 Menjou Catalog states previous high-profile auctions did NOT have this coin. It was estimated to go for $2,500 but sold for...

I'm not sure, but I am going to guestimate 2015 or 2015 is when it started, no later than 2017.
Yeah, interesting now that we know who he is. However, Weitzman had no interest in coins other than the 1933 Double Eagle so someone with $$$...
Is it possible to determine if something was struck in the last 5 years vs. 30-40 years ago ? Assume you know it's a fake Saint....can you...
