And for what it's worth Jeff, I was just as surprised at the outcome as you apparently are. But the outcome was what it was.
No great trick to it. Simply buy a scale that can be calibrated, and calibrate it with the same calibration weight, before each weighing. Oh, and...
He'll have to speak for himself; but just some observations from my point of view. I'll start with a question, do you know how and why "old...
And a comparable US gold coin of 10 known, in gem grade - it's gonna be a 6 figure coin. That's the whole story in a nutshell.
It's been bit longer than that I'm afraid. The first coin auction was in 1598 in Leiden, Netherlands. And there has been a coin market ever since....
Somebody callin me ??? :) Hmmm - plumb forgot all about this. Probably Peter's fault - everything else is @Peter T Davis :D OK, the envelope...

Yeah, your questions make sense. But you also have to remember that there's a lot times when a given coin has been in a dealer's inventory for a...
I readily admit that if and when the value of coins is limited to their basic melt value, their prices are going to mimic the spot prices. And...
Fair enough :)
About the best I can do for ya here is to speak in generalities, for a couple of reasons. One, even though I have been watching the market for...
Jeff please tell me you realize I was being facetious with my 2nd paragraph.
I don't want to come off the wrong way here, but I simply don't know how else to say this. After a couple of decades now of reading posts, not...
