Hey, maybe I'll bring this to PCGS's or NGC's attention at FUN. Maybe Heritage or Stacks wants to create an index, too (free advertising !). It...
Which show -- Whitman ?
Yup, and for buying bills it appears more important to be able to look at it in-hand. If the bid on a generic common Saint is $1,800 and the ask...
Yup, never paid attention to it. Just focused on the words SILVER CERTIFICATE. I guess there are Green, Dark Green, Light Green, Gold, Yellow,...
OK, this makes some sense when you think about it. And I could CERTAINLY see this being the case 20 or more years ago. But in the Internet...
But it's still a sale...and if you make a few of those per day (esp. with a good markup) doesn't that help you get to your goal of making $$$ on...
Hard to believe you could be disappointed attending a big show like FUN (which I am doing for my 1st big non-local show). I mean, if I was...

That's OK because I can only afford sour cream......:D
I think GDJSMP said as much with the links to all the sub-sectors of the PCGS 3000. You have to know the composition of an index and the...
And that's something I've bitched about here for years.....the TPG's go through these coins so damn quick, I don't care how much of an expert you...
Just curious...how often does Stacks-Bowers hold online auctions ? HA does weekly.
The crash was pretty much over by 2000-02. By 2000 gold had bottomed at about $280/oz. The premiums for the most popular coins -- i.e., Saints,...
Weighing and divisor effect, like the DJIA, might be in play.
No, if you quantify it via a regression analysis it will generally show a weak direct linear relationship. If the stock market is plunging,...
Actually, it was a result of hype -- most of it REAL and LEGITIMATE -- about Wall Street firms coming in and buying coins with hundreds of...
