To the Op, I would suggest reading some beginner economics books and then read opinions here. Most are one sided, or are handling large issues too...
I don't display coins, as I don't have either any want to, or any good way to do so. However, it might be stupid, but I do have a small display...
Even if this scenario was true, it still sounds like a poor financing options since most dealers would pay him spot I imagine for slabbed ASE in...
I see that with all higher rarity coins. At an auction, its simply a matter of who "needs" the coin, and if two people need it, it can go to the...
For many brick and mortar coin shops in this country, especially ones not doing a lot of internet sales or in a large population zone, "buying...
Lol, selling any bullion coin at a discount to melt on its face is beyond stupid, but I think we see a lot of stupid in the world, right Cloud?
The slabbed eagles you were buying are the rejects. The dealer sent in a large quantity hoping for 70's, and any one that is not 70 he is selling...
Very nice coin. As others said, the spot are distracting to some, but personally they don't bother me. Very nice example of what I consider one of...
Yes, a very nice coin Mat. Being more selective is one direction many go. Other losers like me still chase quantity of coins, but do tend to get a...
Well from photos I am always leery of saying something is good or bad, especially fuzzy ones. Of the two, the top one looks fine, 4th century...

While we are disagreeing with you here MojaveDave, we are not disagreeing with your sentiments. TBH the number one question of non-ancient...
TBH, it will depend for most collectors on whether the coin folder listed it as an item "needed" for the set or not. If I were still collecting US...
Just asking the question, though, doesn't it matter whether anyone will care? Personally I wouldn't. I never collected proof coins at all unless...
I agree completely and its like the story of the 1883 nickles I related. Rarities, absent items like 09svdb that were hoarded at the time, tend to...
I saw this as well, and was buying in the same period. The only thing I would add would be for ancients I saw this development a little later than...
As Doug said, there has always been "bragging rights" between collectors. You will not ever change this, as a subset of collectors are simply...
I believe that number is for the coppers because the British simply refused to mint them for some reason. Again if I am wrong I would stand...
Separate names with a comma.
