I would say make sure its bolted from the inside into the floor, near walls to prevent people from leveraging it off, and put some moisture...
I know man, just venting. I normally snipe, but placed a large bid. It was at $44 most of the week, I bid $523, and lost it to one other bidder by...
This is why its called speculating in commodities. You can find people on this board with both opinions, maybe more PM bulls than average just...
The simple answer would be whatever the inherent cost to produce and distribute it is, and if they haven't changed the premium shouldn't. The...
I love your coin Randy. I am going to get more serious about getting more of those cool, "art deco" obverses. I have always liked them but have...
I know you should never get caught up in auctions, but do you ever notice a great little auction you get so wound up with the idea of getting you...
I have to agree with others, a cast version of a pine tree shilling. These were mass produced and put in cereal boxes before there were laws...
Yeah, that is a good idea. I always round out my danscos with other coins, like I have some 45 micro s at the end of the mercury dime book. I have...
Given the potential gain, do you think it might be worth sending to NCS? One would hope its just old lacquer or similar, since others here are...
Of course. I would bet most B&M cannot survive just selling to local collectors, and I would guess half basically pay the rent by buying low and...
My friend has a coin similar, but with FAKE chops. Just like in ancient Greece, as soon as bankers started chopping to prove authenticity, fakers...
OP, I would go to both shows. Big shows can be fun, but many deals also pop up at local shows. If my son told me he wants to complete a...
My worst stories actually come from my favorite shop growing up. My favorite shop was run half the time by a great old dealer named Ben. He was...
Very interesting. Thanks. I admit I wasn't really saying it was, since I agree the copper and silver in the coin can tone, just asking a what if...
Brings back memories. I was given a similar kit in 1976 bought from JCPenney's. In fact, I still have the two black boxes they came in. The big...
I agree with Fushia, go to a local coin store and you can find these used much cheaper. The tip for Ebay is a good one too. I got a Mexican type...
While I respect your opinion TonedCoins, I think Winged coin looks very original. The $20 you posted is something I have never seen before, but...
Jim, Thanks for pointing these out. All I am saying is there are good reasons to have a paper market, as expenses of physically handling PM,...
I think what you say Winged about the other metals toning on the coin is fair Winged. I was just asking, and pointing out my thought also that is...
Just asking a question so please do not throw internet rocks. Is it really toning if it is on a non-reactive metal? What I am saying it, if these...
