Detecto, coin collecting isn't necessarily about owning coins man. Look at Doug here. One of the most knowledgable collectors here and doesn't own...
It has gone months at least. However, TPG, toning, CAC, ultra high grade modern coins, all are going to be a topic brought up not the least since...
w1a9c8k5, I agree with Doug. For the record, I deal with sellers in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, etc. A country never makes a bad...
True, and they will give your forearms a workout too! I used this method when I would crack one or two. I moved to the bandsaw if I get...
Bandsaw is pretty effective. Just bandsaw an inch, (2.5 cm) or so away from the coin, and it will come out fairly easily. Oh, one thing. Try to...
Here here. I quit collecting US coins before CAC, so I guess I am forbidden as well. One question though. In your OP Paul you wish people to...
Paul, first I spend about 1k, not 10k per month. Second, I am a collector so I don't think its so weird that I collect, not sell. Third, I was...
Congratulations Mat. It always feel good when you set your sites on a coin to finally get it. I am afraid I have been too stingy pursuing mine,...
To clarify, if, (and its not as easy as some may think), a doctor replicates the manner in which NT coins tone to begin with, is it AT at all, or...
The oil shortages were not about quantity, the US made it into that, it was about price. OPEC simply thought they should be able to charge more,...
Maybe that is a large part of my problem. I have not one bone in my body any more that wishes to collect, (what is it about 70?), Morgans that are...
Fair enough Mike. I appreciate your thoughtful response. I fully admit I am a hoarder, and also know that my wishes do not apply to today's day...
I agree, I also believe the 1980 price is an outlier that needs to be ignored in any rational analysis. I have said it before, graph silver per...
Sorry to say it, but I am with Jason and do not care for Morgans at all. I find the eagle simplistic, and the obverse boring. I am not saying its...
Yeah but darn tough to find in circulation or bags. I remember when I was 10 this was the only lincoln in the 41-current book I had to buy from a...
Personally, idk what my best cherrypick might be. Maybe 42/1 mercuries, 32s quarter in EF from a bulk silver purchase, a Ostrogothic coin from 485...
Anyone ever hear about possibly the greatest cherrypick of all time? I man in the 70's went to a local coin shop and bought the only known,...
I am simply stating that TPG facilitates laziness. What percentage of collectors can intelligently discuss the grade of a slabbed morgan nowadays?...
Decades ahead of the US? I thought they were using rockets designed in the 60's for their manned flights. So if we pulled out an old Apollo we...
I remember those days. Yes, beginners had to actually LEARN how to grade, LEARN the dealers and which onese were fair and which ones were...
