TO the OP, the great truth in life is that guidebooks overvalue low priced items and underprice high end items. I have posted before why, but for...
Silver peaked in 1990, ten years after the peak. Mines take a long time to get going, sorry they do not open overnight to prove my economic theory...
Keep in mind the one negative was from a shady guy who hides his own feedback rating and doesn't say anything was wrong with the coin. I never...
Last I heard the Federal Reserve has demanded all $500 and $1000 notes, so banks are not supposed to be allowed to resell them. If they do, good...
Little tip I used to use if anyone is interested. I used to have my local bank order bundles of $2 bills. You would be surprised how many older...
You are lucky. Many dealers would not have returned it. I think what you say about not having enough time to decide on a purchase is fair, but not...
You are a good collector and I am glad you have fun. I feel the same about ancients, no price guides and buy a coin if it is worth that much to...
I would get many 1928 $1 and $5 back in the 80's in circulation, along with notes in the 1930's. I was not a collector so eventually spent them....
Doug and I, (I think I am talking for Doug), are just saying paying such a premium is out of the norm historically, and we have seen such...
I think the poster was talking about the "doomsayers" in the PM industry. I have listened to their spiel for decades now, since I always thought...
Me Cloud? Lol. Well I will contend that more gold mines ARE in the pipeline now. I have talked to people looking into old mines, restarting old...
Ditto, but people can spend what they like. Think about it, we are all pretty stupid for paying anything above melt value for anything we collect,...
I found teens cents is about it. That was some time ago as well. In the late 70's you would find all Jefferson nickels and a few scrubby buffalos...
^^ This. All coins from 1982 and 1983, especially denominations not highly collected, (nickels, dimes and quarters), are scarcer relative to dates...
I was disagreeing with you saying they are "in spec" individually you can say that, but as a group they are not in spec since they would be...
I would just try the distilled water, changing it every few days and scrub with something wood or plastic to try to loosen the deposits. There are...
I don't know about any "collectibles" rate. As far as I have ever heard as long as you hold any investment beyond the defined period, it is long...
I would just point out Doug that you yourself stated that the tolerances were the range but it was expected that the average be 2.50. If the...
Thank you very much. I was wondering if they had ever popped up.
My crystal ball is still broken, but I would point out one thing. Prices for PM's in a correction are usually quicker to go down than they were to...
