It's scary how if they weren't labeled I would have a hard time differentiating the MS-64, the MS-66, and the MS-67. :yack:
Just glancing at The Red Book MSD section....what happened to some of the pre-1880's CC MSDs to cause them to be so valuable ? They made...
No argument from me...I'm just trying to learn here...I'm like Dwayne from the 1970's TV show "What's Happening"....I'm just an innocent bystander. :D
Well, that sucked. I got there too late and the store closed.:rage: Anyway, here's the photos of the coin, unfortunately my friend zoomed in and...
I'm not sure what the numbers on, maybe someone can recommend a good book or something online ? I know my immigrant ancestors handed theirs in....
It's clearly not. The problem is that gold is highly volatile and to compare any data from the pre- or post-floating exchange rate era (1971)...
I don't know about the 'real money' part, but I essentially agree with your well-written post.
Can we confirm or refute my assertion that silver coin or rounds or whatever in recent weeks was under 10% premium to bullion ? Just want to make...

My Big Picture, since we got distracted: Gold is a speculation (though you can hold it if you like for a small % of your portfolio or as a hedge...
JCP, thanks for the grading info...I'm going out now to check out the coin, the photos from my friend are crap. :D Better be worth the trip or...
Not at all JPC, it never came across as that. I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to post. Believe me...keep it coming, I'm learning...
Someone paid attention in grammar school.......:D Yeah, I think that he was so fixated on the trees he missed the forest. As he did with his...
You appear to not understand investing or stocks. The use of AAPL wasn't to say she could have invested in it back then, I used it to show what...
Silver rounds, Maple Leafs, whatever. Might not have been the ASEs that cheap, but specials seem to be happening all the time:...
Yes, I realize that no 2 MSDs are exactly alike and some people LOVE toned MSDs, DMPL, etc. I'm even seeing big differences in generic MS-66's...
