Sorry, but I'm never going to be able to consider anything rare, or even close to rare, when there are over a million of them.
Except I don't know of a single price guide that actually does that. Numismedia may be the exception to that rule today but they didn't use to be....
Sometimes they can't tell the difference either. But to me, a dealer is somebody who makes their living buying and selling coins. Anybody else is...
A couple of things here. First of all, all coins were shipped from the mint in bags, always were and still are. It used to be the bags held $1,000...
No disrepsect intended here but based on your comments it sounds like you do not really have the experience to judge exactly what has or has not...
Sometimes, but that is assuming that you can find another collector who just happens to want what you have to sell at the price you are asking....
90% of spot is about the average going rate. Some dealers will pay a bit more, some a bit less.
The ones that CDN use as a reference do yes. But you have to realize, these are usually large national dealers. Not your average coin shop....

No, it is not a mistake. And no all Walkers should not be graded by one standard. The issue at hand, putting problem coins in problem free...
Leo - he just explained to you that used satin finish dies ARE used to strike regular business strikes. But that is only done after the satin...
So ? If there are only 3 that are problem free then that's all that deserve to be in a regular slab. Unh huh - it's just another excuse. So...
Really ? I mean I don't see how anyone could. I was obviously talking about coins getting into a slab period - not the grade assigned.
You have the name correct.
Bart's right, it is from Gelderland. Delmonte #810 listed as an R1 and only struck in 1591 & 1592. Delmonte's rarity scale goes from R to R4 with...
Now how you could get that thought out of my comment I'll never know. Of course I don't mean that. I thought it was rather obvious what I...
The book you want is by Delmonte, The Silver Benelux. When I get home I'll look it up for ya.
Just like in the old days - shoot the messenger :D
Not really familiar with it but any chemical that can do what you describe would by necessity have to leave a residue on the coin. That is not...
Separate names with a comma.
