If you can find dealers to sell 90% to you at 6.5x and buy 40% from you at 6x, I think I want to hire you as a middleman. :)
Holy cats! I would've thought he could get more than that from any of the other dealers who weren't out of pocket. I would empty my bank account...
I know that feeling.
I'll revisit this later. I've got a Barber half in AU details and a 17-P T1 SLQ MS details that are toned with psychedelic splots on the reverse...
Putting soap on coins is generally a bad idea, but for this one, I don't think it matters. If you're squeamish about it as is, go ahead and soak it.
Looks like it might be time to order in some thiourea. Do you see any problems with downsizing this 5-10x for a first experiment? (I've got a good...
I'm guessing that you're leaving off the cent when you're adding up the numbers.
I'm not quite seeing the economics here if it costs $20-30 to slab each coin.
Yeah, sorry, I completely looked past that step as I charged off into the weeds. :)
Hey, now.
PCGS apparently calls it a $600 coin in AU58, attributed. (Guess they'd have to bump that population up to 7, though.) I guess it depends on what...
According to the chart, a quarter struck from dime stock should weigh 4.16g; 4.2g is plenty close enough. A .04-g discrepancy is well within...
Collectors call this "toning" when they like it, "corrosion" or "damage" when they don't. :) Copper combines with oxygen from the air to form...
Our local coin show says in its terms that merchants are responsible for collecting and submitting. I'm sure the out-of-state dealers and...
Now, that's another issue. Our local Walmart just got busted for inaccurate scans -- they were way over the legal threshold (5% vs 2%). Office...
Based on hairlines in the right field (especially under IGWT)? My eyes were drawn to the scratch, but that's pretty clearly on the slab. I've...
"Machine doubling. No way PCGS would have missed that. I'll give you $30 because I feel bad for you." ;)
That's definitely a number of steps above "junk silver", regardless of cleaning. It would likely bring tens of dollars on eBay.
If I buy and then sell, I'm not an end user. If you define "middleman" as someone who makes money both buying and selling, and "end user" as...
Sorry, but I'm not seeing that difference in speed. In the self-checkout, it's a LOT faster to stick in a card than to feed in and collect paper...
