Nice post, but can I ask why you believe its "not to be repeated"? What is stopping the president, if he runs into trouble, of simply...
Advice I would and could never disagree with. :)
The Shoshana sale? Yeah, it was in all of the coin magazines for months, (NN, WCN, The Celator, etc). I didn't know you were that into ancient...
It was a very nice collection. I heard that it went fairly well. These jewish war shekles are neat. They were overstruck on Roman denari. Many...
Does anyone have experience with the kinds of conditions in expect in SDBs. Before I only kept junk in them, but now have decent coins. I know it...
I agree no coin should ever be sold from one picture and a different one delivered. I would complain to Ebay and explain to them how every coin is...
Just saying, Ruben, that the means of communicating in NYC, (maybe Jersey, Philly, and possibly Boston), is different than the rest of the...

There is that Brooklyn attitude again, don't know whether to explain myself, ignore it, protest I am not pouting, or punch you in the mouth.....I...

Why slabbed at all? Most collectors should be able to grade circulated examples themselves easily. If not, practice practice practice. Its a skill...
I think they gave a pass because its a lustrous, pretty coin. Btw, I would not disagree with you paying a premium BU, its very pretty. Even with...
I would personally kind of like the coin at $66. It is a very pretty 63, if one can overlook the dings. No way for $265. :(
I would say that would be ther other option if they didn't give it a grade Ruben. I was debating the same, but thought they would deduct and net...
Sure, make liars out of all of us! :)
I simply thought those who bought physical PM, who by definition would be concerned about the robberies, could also be interested in how their...
For new silver like the government would mint, I would assum they pay full price for the silver, plus a fee to make it a blank, plus their own...
We've had this thread less than a month. I thought it was illustrating another danger of physical PM ownership, which is what I thought we were...
Here is another danger to people who buy bullion. http://www.startribune.com/business/150173425.html ""Many gold coin salesmen have criminal...
Lol. Its usually the other way. If PM is up, the dealer tells you its hot and going up further if buying, he tells you its oversold and coming...
