Just a quick word about indexed funds. While not as good as skilled selection, the heart of the matter is most people have no interest learning...
And you sir are my kind of collector. Sadly I am very much a dying breed here in the colonies. :( I talk and talk to beginning ancient collectors...
Not a bad system. There have been coins at a competitor of yours, (well not really a competitor, different markets), that I sorely would like to...
Of course its a scam, but I am wondering how. You know its a scam by the fungibility of the product, there is no need to find a buyer essentially....
Authenticating ancients is just like authenticating any series sir. Its a function of handling and seeing thousands of authentic coins and really...
Yeah, just gets back to the whole "buy the coin and not the slab", which most collectors and dealers ignore. I completely agree with Moneyer's...

Pristine, original surfaces never go out of style and have always been preferred by serious collectors. Many times these have toning. Many new...
Well said. I would simply add the caveat, "all other things remaining the same". This is where people in my view get tripped up. They get into...
Yeah, because you have to have others validate your coins in order to feel good about them. ;) Sorry Owle, but couldn't resist. I spent the...
I agree completely. Many say they can time markets, very few succeed. This is why I advocate simply choosing where they wish to be positioned in a...
Agreed, here is to hoping the past is water under the bridge. Chris
There is a large difference in price between first and second printing. I would check to see which printing it was, as this is very important...
