To me, you can clearly see that the coin prices are following a LAGGED movement in PM prices. It's not an exact relationship, but you can clearly...
OK, I see the "classic" in them but where is the "commemorative" part coming into play ? We're just talking classic silver/gold coins....you...
I looked at the area I have some expertise in....Saints. It is ridiculous. The purpose of an index is to have a SMALL number of items reflect...
The Commemoratives fell off a cliff about 2 years after gold/silver collapsed....it's like the coins resist a decline in the underlying PM for a...
If this PCGS 3000 index really has 3,000 or close to 3,000 coins in it, that's too many. A 50-coin index is probably much better and if the coins...
Except that the market can remain irrational far longer than you can remain solvent. Keynes. :D Interest-bearing assets like stocks and bonds...
Long-time dealers who have been in the business for decades should be listened to....ultimately, they buy and sell and they can tell you WHY they...
Did you see those posts on another site a few years ago -- I think I linked them here at CT -- where somebody complained that a Franklin that he...
I commend them for their effort. However...today....it might be better to have a coin index more like the DJIA and not like the S&P 500 or...
Can someone give me an example of a "Classic Commemorative" ? Are we talking about those collection sets I used to get as a kid in the 1970's...
Unfortunately, very true. Do you remember exactly WHEN this transformation happened ? It sort of relates to my post above.....should a...
Yup, and bag marks seem to be given a free pass. "Mint State" literally means mint condition, pristine....and maybe direct from the Mint (BEFORE...
Awesome, thanks !! I am scheduled to stay through Sunday (as of now) even though I suspect 3 days would be more than enough (maybe even 2 :D!)....
I liked it more for the 0.5 millimeter scale underneath.
Can that thing or the magnifier I linked be used to more easily detect folds, creases, wavy paper, etc ?
Thanks ! :D Yes, if you go back 10 years we had a nice recovery in both asset prices and PM prices. But it appears that many segments were still...
I would think that's the case...who would get a table at a conference if they aren't a dealer ? Those of us in the hobby are going to be walking...
Is it safe ? How would you use it and for what, besides just shining light through the bills ?
As with coins, sometimes having a good additional set of eyes helps with paper currency. I thought having some kind of micro-ruler or scale would...
True....but I'll bet some would still be off in-hand. And even though it's paper and a different grading scale, a PMG 45 Gold Certificate I...
Separate names with a comma.
