"should've done". And "poll". ;)
A friend of ours long ago had a parrot who was toilet-trained. He'd have the bird perched on his forearm, hold it over a trash can, say "Go...
I'm not aware of any markers that would let you distinguish a dateless 1921 half, but I'm really really far from an expert on the design. If I...
Struck through eagle dropping on DOLLARS?
I'll still happily pay $30 for a coin that's worth $90 now. But instead of paying $30 for a coin (or a pile of them) that might be worth $90 at...
I wonder. It makes me nervous to consciously bet against someone having a new idea. And then there's the whole "asteroid mining" thing, although...
I see lots of luster, but I can't tell whether the duller areas on the hair and wing are wear or just not fully struck. AU63? :rolleyes:
I thought the Big Two (and maybe ANACS) would not slab a coin where they couldn't be sure of the date AND mint. Anyone will slab a genuine 1916...
If I can trust the online calculator I just found, that's 8% compound interest per year. Not bad, but the S&P 500 during the same time returned...
Yep. They're buying at ~1.1% below spot, selling at ~1.8% above. Sell price is 2.9% above buy price. Sometimes buy offers are above spot, but...
Based on my experience at today's local show, margins are compressing, and buy prices from dealers are lagging spot. I just checked...
So, yeah, I had to go and look up Cartier 18K frames. Why would you want to have glasses made from a heavier metal instead of a lighter one? I...
Eh, my Apple stock begs to differ. (My Nortel stock, not so much. :rolleyes:)
Right there with you. I carried a 1994 ASE, harshly cleaned, as a pocket piece for more than five years. I sometimes consciously rubbed it against...
...but not today, so no sale. :( My go-to dealer wasn't there; in fact, I haven't seen him at a show in quite a while. I think he's moved on to...
Yeah, having verified the weight and composition, I think I'd be compelled to go back and treat her a bit better. I know sterling trades at a...
I have the impression that coin gold, alloyed with copper, is a lot harder than pure gold. But I'm having trouble finding actual...
Reminds me of the one time Larry Briggs showed up at our local show, with a massive array of SEGS-slabbed coins. I made some comment about "some...
It always makes me a little sad to see a family heirloom reduced to a commodity. But it makes me sadder to see people saddled with ever-growing...
All well and good, but I'm considering taking a bit of profit. There's a coin show today, and there are usually dealers there making strong...
Separate names with a comma.
