I expect that the Barber Society folks will be at next weekend's Raleigh show. If I get a chance, I'll stop by and catch up with them about this....
"Spot" means the spot price of gold. So, since gold is around $1280/oz today, and the coin contains half an ounce of gold, "spot price" for the...
The link seems to go to a 2016 half-ounce gold Walker for $796, about a 25% premium over spot. What are you seeing?
I'm not betting for or against it. Okay, I guess I'm betting against it, because I'm not dumping all my junk silver at this price. But I'm not...
I wonder how well Zincolns, especially ones like this with exposed zinc, will keep in a TPG holder? I'd feel a great need to keep this one sealed...

Quite a few, judging from discussions on the Bullion Investing forum.
To add to the confusion, when I click on the original link, eBay redirects me to this auction for a "pristine" (fresh from China) raw 1880-CC.
Did you mean to say "metallurgist" here? Otherwise, I'm even more confused. Can you tell us what test(s) he used? It's conceivable that a cent...
But then you'd have more competition!
Yeah, that brown spot on the reverse looks like something acidic landed on it and sat for a while. The brown spots on the edge are probably the...
What coin are you looking at? The linked auction was for a raw (and altered) coin...
