Hope ya'll have a great time. I know I was excited before the first time I went to CICF, (heck I still get excited by going). :)
Yes, to have "Early Release" it must be received by the TPG by a specific date. I would refer you to them for the times needed. If you want a...
You never have to delete a post because of me sir. I have a thick enough skin. I simply thought you were saying I was being unfair, and I was...
Yeah, I can buy Mexican gold, (20 and 50 pesos), for spot basically. I would say you are better off saving up and buying a 20 peso piece.
I really like the 19th century one pesos and 8 reales issues, but have some, (maybe 50) 20th century silver. For the 20th century, the...
Don't think a SDB does much good if its not in a bank vault. :)
Did you read my post #17 as well then Rick? The OP is a new collector, and I was simply asking him WHY he wished to collect slabbed 70's. WHY was...
You can also google coin shows. There are a couple of places that list them. Also, you could try to find a coin club in Milwaukee, they should...

Can I ask a dumb question? These coins come from the mint with mint packaging, so there is not a lot of worry about authenticity. Why are you...
Quick question for ancient collectors out there. I am not really a Roman collector but have a few. I broke it down by Roman Republican, (that box...
I don't disagree sir, and have said many times those who refuse to pay for a better coin in the grade are doomed to have mediocre coins. I was...
I see the "lack of buzz" over these will hold prices down as much as the higher mintage. Last years set was hot in large part over the controversy...
Well, it woudl STILL be less eggregious than a HONG KONG Continental dollar. ;)
Well, that explains it then. Should be much easier. :) I did pull out all of the world gold and most of the silver in threw it in SDB for safe...
I am afraid I am probably past that point if coins were larger. Thankfully my compulsion are tiny little pieces of metal. :) Btw, no, I never...
We can agree to disagree. Minimizing losses and investment are not the same in my book. Btw, "buying the highest quality you can" as advice to...
