I think he's saying that $$$ amount in today's dollars is then worth the lower sum. Not sure how he cited the dollar as falling 2/3rds -- I...
No, they are taking advantage of a MONOPOLY given to certain dealers. Let EVERYBODY have access to freshly-struck ASEs and see what happens to...
MPC, FWIW...you can attach 2 pics in the same post if you want. Also, not sure why you still keep getting those short sentence break-offs....you...
If you're trying to maintain purchasing power, then stocks or even bonds (certainly TIPSs) are a better hedge. I think the small % -- and I agree...
Just remember that unlike ASEs....liquidity (what there is for a commodity) is much less for larger quantities like these bars and your floor is...
I think buying at today's prices for silver (or gold) should make us money over time...even with the moronic premiums...but you never know because...
If you're talking about when silver rose to $45/oz., my recollection is that the premiums were maybe $5 or so (about 10% or less). Today, they...
But the price of silver did NOT go up....just the premium. The US Mint's dealer-sanctioned oligopoly created artificially high premium prices to...
This holder appears to be from 2016, long after the WF Hoard coins were graded in the mid-to-late 1990's. I believe that virtually ALL the...
Is that really what happens ? Given that you KNOW there are some really super-wealthy players here, unless you are one of THEM....why play with...
Any other 68 is going to cost multiples of that $17,000....and I think a 1908 WF NM in MS-68 is under $30,000. No other Saint-Gaudens is gonna be...
The 1908 NM's -- WF and non-WF -- are notorious for that "poor strike" look.:(
Both the quantity of 1908 NM's and 1908 WF NM's...combined with some post-1990 Bubble loose grading....has many of the coins as either overgraded...
Randy, I believe I have a Hoard Thread somewhere here that goes into depth on the Wells Fargo Hoard. Suffice to say it refers to where the coins...
Yup....the number of registry, gold coin, and type collectors is about 25,000...give-or-take. Above that, premiums to bullion are miniscule and...
How are you seeing "rub" near the eye per se ?
At this time, it's fair to point the finger of blame at the U.S. Mint and their oligopoly of special dealers. It's one thing to have a premium...
$2,300 for the 1881 ? Not bad, given the current gold price.
Not familiar with prices, but didn't high-quality ones take a beating from about 2010-20 ?
Beautiful coins....not as big as the $10 and $20 coins, but still very sharp !!
