No, it doesn't. But the other benefits make it worth being a member.
My answer to that question would be a definite no. Why ? Because if you are just starting out you don't know enough to even do it.
And that right there is the crux of the problem. They are trying to treat coins like other artifacts when they aren't like other artifacts....
I dunno krispy, I don't think your ideas would work. Your order time frames would not be anywhere near long enough. And a lot of those returns you...
No idea what it should grade because I don't know what an MS example should like. And yeah I'll agree there are some areas that are weakly struck....
Yeah, I think they are for all of us. But when you blow those pics up to their full size and see all of those adjustment marks from the top of the...
Gonna getcha for that !
Well, that collection weighed well over a 1,000 pounds. It had not just multiples but many multiples of every key date/mint in every denomination...
My point is what does it mean even it's hand signed in ink ? It's still just an autograph.
But the mint has no control over the mintage numbers. Those are decided by Congress. The mint can only do what they are told to do. As for...
I'm reasonably certain they all are. Except for maybe the Sacky slabs that were signed on the outside of the slab with a magic marker.
Because it has been made into a piece of jewelry it has no value above the value of the gold itself. If you go to sell it, you can expect an offer...
You don't. That's why, IMO, coin albums are probably the single worst thing any coin collector could ever use.
I think we're saying the same thing. When I say 1 point I mean if the coin would grade 64, and it has a fingerprint, I'd drop it to 63. Or, if the...
When they mint coins they don't just mint an entire mintage at one time. They mint what they think they can sell, and then mint more as orders...
It depends on the dealer, everybody has their own rates they charge. Sure they can do it free for a coin or two. But a collection ? That's not...
Good Lord Dick I already agreed with that ! NO - Heritage is not the end all be all answer. YES - you do still do need to use other sources for...
Probably not, but it doesn't matter. Smart dealers only buy stuff where they have a recourse too. But even for those times when they don't have a...
I agree, my copies were purchased new but are quite old now ;) I used to sell my old copies to forum members for shipping.
It's good you posted that. There's too many out there who think the mint just has bags and bags of stuff just sitting around. Been telling them...
Separate names with a comma.
