I'm all for acknowledging that what I don't know I may be wrong about....but how is even an expert going to look at the fields...the devices...the...
Those are recent prices for regular (non-SSCA) 1857-S, right ? I think SSCA's are about 2x as high, maybe a bit more, than non-SSCA's, except in...
Well, I feel trying to make their quarterly EPS estimates (PCGS) has led to timing issues. JMHO.
One thing strikes me from a technical POV as an investment analyst....you have NEVER had a period from the 1970's where the coin hobby could price...
OK...surprising.....I figured I was making it easier for everyone to read the article and also if it ever disappeared, we wouldn't be drawing...
I can't see the listing anymore, but I take it that for Liberty DE's that's NOT the case, right ? Simply too much scarcity.
Now I see 1857-S SSCA's going for under $4,000 in AU-58 quality, even with some stupid gold dust included....

Very interesting and I agree...eliminate the fees and BS S&H sales tax etc..... and folks buying repeatedly save serious $$$ over time. I'm tired...

Their 20% buyers premkium is excessive. I know they have lots of professional staff but I question given their volumes how much they need to...
I guess I'm a Type Collector in that I go for what I like among many different types of coins (and bills). Money willing, I do buy more...
Really ? What kind of stuff is sold there and maybe on Craigslist ? I would think it would be more low-brow stuff ? I just got into GC and HA...
Hey Mod....how come you took out my highlighted sections cut-and-paste ? I posted the link, I don't think I violated any copyright laws. :oops:
Yeah, always getting them mixed up, and I just typoed it wrong in the title.:(
Exactly, I agree completely. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some VF coins I need to break out of some plastic slabs for the New Year.:p Did I...
Great post, Doug....but I had NEVER heard of deliberately trying for a LOWER grade which is what the 1927-D situation involved. :wideyed: And I...
