I'll refrain from commenting on what it's like 27 years after that milestone. Just don't let it sit parked all the time, keep getting regular...

Then this is an excellent educational opportunity for you. That "toning" pattern can exist on real coins, and counterfeits can fail to display...
Seems like the opposite of a good move. Sell bullion during a spike, buy premium coins while the premiums are compressed. When silver spiked back...
A good friend of mine moved from Virginia to Colorado, then back. When she got to Colorado, she had to give up wearing contact lenses - too dry....
My take on cardboard: just make sure it isn't contacting the coins. Outgassing is a thing, but contact is more likely to cause damage, especially...
I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that the gold value of a double eagle has gone up by $60 today. So far.
I don't think the machines that give change do any checks on outgoing coins. They just spit out whatever gets fed into them. I've gotten silver in...
Well... if you're a reasonably careful buyer, you can expect to get some money back out of your coins, as opposed to money you've spent on travel...
I dropped in on eBay BIN listings this afternoon for the first time in ages. Saw at least one listing for a Peace dollar at $29.95 + $4.50 S&H....
I'm not sure I think of it as people "falling for it", so much as people assuming they won't be the ones left holding the bag. People got rich on...
Because they've got the money, they want the coin, and they bid more than the other person with money who wanted the coin?
And another warning, although you may already be aware: the criteria for PL were less stringent in the era of those slabs. I had one Morgan...
And I guess that RARE MINT, erm, PRESS ERROR makes the album itself worth $$$. At least, according to YouTube. :rolleyes: I've seen plenty of...
Well, it's certainly a good thing that isn't about to happen. :rolleyes:
That's one of my burning questions. Sure, gold will hit $4000 and then $5000, and silver will hit $50 and then $100. It's just a question of...
My bad. The introductory comment about "bad taste to discuss a coin that is in an active auction" made me think you suspected that this was a...
Except the pawn shop near my office, which just put out a good bit of silver (maybe $100 FV, in $5-$20 batches) - marked at 55-60x FV. I don't...
In a sufficiently old copy of the Red Book (from the mid-70s or earlier), you'll see that certain dates are priced higher than most. I'm...
Really? I mean, yeah, the gold price dominates numismatic value for common gold coins - but what does the silver price do for Roosevelt dimes, or...
