Morgan's have collector/numismatic value, too, just that you are paying a much larger premium for them relative to the content. I "play" with...
My Newest Pal: an 1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar....MS-66 and CAC, too ! :D Some of the Morgan experts here have suggested going for a somewhat...
Thanks JP.....I'm really not seeing the strike weakness, what should I be looking at compared to maybe my 1884-CC ? BTW, beautiful coin, yes !
Congratulations, it's a Morgan:D: Just picked this up this month. It's my first CAC (not that I actively seek them out) and also the...
Yes, I remember that generally some previously scarce mintages took baths of 75-90% once the hoards came out. But depending on what happened to...
Probably from his association with Bruce McNall. :D
For a very old coin like Cape Bust Quarters, I can certainly see your point. On Saints and newer coins, die cracks indicate genuine coins. But...
Roger Burdette talks about this in "From Mine To Mint" and you realize that metallurgy and striking technology was so raw back in the early-1800's...
Good strategy, JPC. As for the MSD totals, I think I summed them up year-by-year. Couldn't find a source with total mintage. Your numbers look...
Jaelus, so you are talking about PF and DMPL and other coins like that early in a dies usage ?
I agree with your point but in this case the "inflation" at least has something visible. We can debate whether or not twin MSDs that are exactly...
Touche.....:D But seriously, you're not saying that we're going to keep seeing gradeflation ad infinitum are you ? Let me use the Saint Gaudens...
OK, so they're grading on a curve, so to speak. Ah, the curve...you never thought it would happen to you (fans of "The Wonder Years" TV show...
But toning is a unique thing -- and one I don't like -- that some people not only like but chase exclusively. So the TPGs are now incorporating...
I see your point here. Me personally....I don't like toned coins. To me, their blotches and blemishes. Maybe I'd like 1 or 2 rainbow toned...
I think the possibility exists in the SHORT-TERM but it can't continue indefinitely. If your scenario occurs, then in theory all MS-64's and...
In the extreme, without sales there's no business and with no business there's probably not a hobby (or at least one like today). In which case...
If you read the Sheldon Grading Scale, or maybe go to the PCGS and/or NGC websites for more detail (if they provide it), it's pretty well...
I'll do that.....I may actually try and free up some time and catalog exactly what years I have. Quite frankly, between following the financial...
That's a good point, I have NO IDEA what any of those quarters are worth. I must have a few hundred, and quite frankly, I don't have the time to...
Separate names with a comma.
