Overall, since we haven't seen inflation much yet, and with higher treasury yields likely to continue to increase the dollar, it is an overall...
Wow, you guys are more brutal and old school ancient graders. Of course, we do not worry about dug coins? In ancients, this coin would be a Fine net.
Way too simplistic. You have to take into account what discount/premium to spot you will get when you sell. Buying generic gold bars at lower...
To me, for any 93 coin, that is a fantastic looking F-12. Most I have seen in that range for a 93 do not look as nice.
Not a copper guru either. Early copper usually gets a bump, but if not details I would wager grade lowered due to surfaces. F15 is the highest I...
Welcome. I, along with some others here, are Central Asian enthusiasts. Myself I am into Sogdiana, Persian, and Hunnic coins, and Chinese on...
That bright of a blue I would say would be from chemical cleaners. I have seen US, World, and ancient coins over the years with the same colors....
The only value IMHO is peace of mind that the slabber believed it to be authentic. If its an authentic slab, (another discussion entirely), then I...
Very true, especially in series like US coins. A 1916D dime is not a rare coins by any definition. Its downright common compared to most coins in...
I like this one. Education does many things, lets you know what is available, makes coins more interesting, what to look for, etc. I remember...

My rule of thumb is NEVER, EVER "invest" in any collectibles. Buy them for what they are, what joy it gives you. IF you or your heirs happen to...
I have seen this exact copy before. Look at the loop. Its the same metal as the "coin". It is simply a jewelry fake IMHO. Still, its precious to...
That is your opinion, and quite frankly mine as well. However, not everyone may CARE about policy tools, etc. If they believe owning physical PM...
I am not a mod, but so will I. We are here to exchange ideas and learn. I may not agree with those members on that topic, but if cannot explain...
I don't care much except change for the sake of change I find annoying. Some people legitimately believe how they buy PM is an investment, and it...
Sounds like Millenial Nirvana. ;)
I would love that, to be able to meet many personalities on this board sometime as well. It would be a hoot.
All of this is why I tend to stay away from bars. Not enough people appreciate the fact that when it comes time to sell, the buyer rightfully will...
I agree mostly with these positions, but just would say one thing on the "stacker" side. If a pm is present in an overall portfolio as a hedge to...
