Dude, you've got to start looking at what your text-to-speech produces before you post it. Either that, or call 911, because one or the other of...
Huh. So the USD/CAD disparity goes back quite a ways, I guess?
Even less likely than I thought, given than one of the big online dealers is currently buying at 18.15x FV. :eek: Coinflation currently places...
If he were still alive, perhaps you could ask James Smithson. Or Dale Carnegie. Or...
Pro tip: if you're trying to avoid paying taxes, don't post about it online.
Current melt value for 90% is 15.025x face value. People ask a lot more on eBay, and probably some sells at those higher prices. Silver's swooned...
I wish there were still a way to get the actual accepted price for completed BIN/BO listings.
American Platinum Eagles were first minted in 1997, when gold fell below $300/oz, and platinum was closer to $400. When the American Palladium...

That's a really tiny clip -- less than 1%? -- but I see what looks like a distinct Blakesley-effect dent 180° away on the obverse rim. Can you...
Yup, there isn't any copper "inside" to get "exposed" in a nickel, it's 75% copper/25% nickel all the way through when it's struck. Nickel is a...
At $15 over melt? Yeah, that's one way to preserve availability, isn't it?
I was super-annoyed that they did the diameter wrong on these pieces -- I wish they'd done them like the .999 Kennedy in 2014. But if I ever have...
Looks like a circulation hit to me.
I can go check new BIN listings in Coins and Paper Money, and I'll routinely see currently-circulating Lincoln cents listed for hundreds of...
OK, my mistake here -- when you said just now "have heard that many times before", I thought "that" was "shop owners lying". I went back to your...
Thing is, your message wasn't "think twice about doing business with this dealer", it was "think twice before buying gold maples". And you just...
Separate names with a comma.
