Because if eBay hired people to authenticate the claims of every auction on their platform, they would have to raise their listing fees to...
Yeah, but those who bought in at a 20-30% discount from the 1979-1980 highs waited thirty YEARS to get out from under water -- in nominal dollars....
Yup. This looks like another eBay billboard, like the monster St. Gaudens set from last week.
Wonder if PCGS would try to weasel out of the guarantee by claiming "mechanical error"? :rolleyes:
Wow. But where's the gold? :rolleyes:
What do you think could cause that to happen? I'm sorry, all I see is pareidolia.
My news feed occasionally offers up stories about the coming dollar apocalypse, gold's impending surge, and so on. They're invariably from RT.
This directly contradicts what we saw in 1980 and in 2011. In both cases, the rising price of silver and gold erased numismatic premiums. In 1980,...
I just went into a "we buy gold and silver" shop that had a bigger-than-usual display of coins. The proprietor said someone had cleaned them out...
Aw man, here I am, only two hours away while visiting Dad, and still missing it. :(
I think you're following a dead branch of the discussion. I think we all agree that you only get taxed on net profit. But I'd also say that it's...

reasonable period of time: def. Period of time that supports the poster's argument. "The gold-silver ratio goes up over any reasonable period of...
Ah, yes, "the real world" -- that place where five-ounce pucks are rightly valued at spot price, but high-grade classic US silver coins, well,...
On the other hand, on a dusk bike ride a year or two ago, I caught a bug in the face -- immediately followed by the bat that was closing on it....
I'm thinking that "the highest-priced coin auction on eBay" probably isn't the favored vehicle for a nice, quiet wash.
As others have pointed out, eBay caps FVFs at $250 for stores. PayPal doesn't restrict total transfers in and out of Verified accounts, but each...
I did a joke auction in early 2000 that "went viral" (before that phrase had caught on), and got tens of thousands of hits (which was quite a lot...
Yeah, the haloes and highlights made me think "polished" even before I saw @C-B-D's post. I'll await in-hand photos -- and expert opinions, since...
I'd say most of us are "good guys" who will help newcomers learn. As Doug explained (at positively -jeffB-like length), we sometimes get a bit...
Separate names with a comma.
