Considering how energy intensive modern mining is, I wonder how tight the correlation is between oil and PM long term. Just like food can be seen...
I agree the bull and horse coins are very attractive. I have the others I got from misc group lots, but I really like those first two, especially...
I always thought 63 was choice, 65 gem, and 67 superb. Select and the like were simply sales puffery, as well as any words besides these which...
I agree Mark. Its unfortunate that things frequently cannot be "taken back" on the internet. Again, I wish to thank MCM and Mr. Maben for...
This is the problem with creating a new grading system and trying to implement it. Its also why I don't know why they tried, and didn't just grade...
I also appreciate you posting here Mr. Salzberg. While I believe that posters here should calm down about "filing charges" and such silly things,...
Didn't we just have this thread? Rush' point of entertainment is a good point. Some like to be entertained, and will pay $40 for a common...
1.I would never worry about a percent of your annual income. Worry about percent of your portfolio. 5% is a conservative number to have exposure...
No offense meant, but I don't like to pass judgment on a firm based upon one side of the story. I know you wrote what you feel, but many times...

The one thing to recognize is "toning premium" is fair if its not for toning, but for original surfaces. Nice original surfaces get rarer the...
No takers at $259 for a 69 S NGC coin, but one just sold for $231. NGC 70 set just sold for $1150. I don't see any price increases happening. Now...
Hey, gosh dang, I actually got one right. :)
One peculiar thing about this coin is it was struck with the initials VDB on the reverse. This increases its value at least 10 fold. This is the...
Looks like the head of Libya on the reverse. Are you sure this coin wasn't struck in Kyrenaika?
The blue does look wierd. I would be nervous if it were a 1919d or 1921 or something, but its a 17 P. It can't be much more than bullion, right?...
Very true. Lots of people have tried, many successfully. Its been like trying to catch a falling knife, though, with mintages plummeting...
I agree, and collect my ancients the same way. This is the way I look at collecting. My only "disagreement" with this hypothesis is the fact...
Separate names with a comma.
