North Africa - WW II $1 Bill: Won this in a recent auction. Price really jumps if you go to PMG 66 or 67...ditto if you go for certain blocks or...
That was what some vets here quoted, and you're right: in absolute terms, it's not a bad number. At my local coin shows, I see maybe 10-15...
Any currency/bill-only conventions, or gatherings where they dominate instead of coins ? I'm going to be going to FUN in January and was...
Check out the volatility in a 1924 Saint from 1979 to the present. https://www.pcgs.com/pricehistory#/?=9177-65 It's ALL OVER the map and forget...
Precisely...the 100% pure numismatic pieces are MOST vulnerable to premiums dissipating.
First, I didn't see a price drop on the NGC chart. Second, if it has fallen, it is simply supply and demand.
Great posts from Randy, Trogdor, and a few others in this thread. :cigar: As a CFA and CFP with 30+ years of experience in the financial markets,...
Any coins selling for huge premiums -- like the Morgans and Saints, circa 1989-90 -- are subject to a 50-75% (or more !! :eek:) decline as the air...
That's why you need to watch the premium you pay to face value and/or intrinsic (bullion) value. The most popular coins might be the ones where...
Depends on the coin. As a general rule, I want higher quality when it is affordable. So I have a few Saint-Gaudens and they are all at MS 65....
I hope they don't forget to charge themselves the 20% premium. :D
So they are auctioning off a 1927-D Saint-Gaudens at the show I understand. From Dr. Steve Duckor's collection. I guess just like they have...
Later in LIFE ? I would agree. But the apparent (if true) reduction in coin enthusiasm is matched by declines in civic participation (Rotary,...
Yes, I already am signed up with HA. Won a few things in the last year or so. Mostly low-priced stuff.
Thanks guys...the real problem security-wise seems to be with the dealers getting robbed, from the past headlines. :D I figure to bring cash, but...
OK, I didn't know that. So we'll have 3 bill/currency grading companies. Interesting.....
Even if you had the great photos that HA provides, I'm not sure we'd all agree. Although being allowed to look leisurely for 2-3 minutes instead...
Yup, missed that, but modified my thoughts to be more general. Glad it worked out for him but considering how wide our guestimates are on...
Glad it worked out well for you, and if it's in a new holder it will also highlight the sides of the coins, which is a plus. But on this subject...
I wish my heirs would leave me some common junk....common Saint-Gaudens and junk silver or gold. :D
