Good to hear the dollar is strengthening. I wish it would have before last Spring's ancient auctions though. :( Lol, I loved the line about...
Yes, but your analogy holds for most other instances. Cash talks. Walk into a coin show with a pocket full of hundreds and you will get the best...
Well, please feel free to disagree vehemently on the next one! :) Dang, I didn't know I was a flamebaiter here, I will try to tone it down.
Fair point. I find people who actually invest their own money in a market they have looked at for a long time usually have clearer "eyesight". I...
A trip to the mint is probably the best thing that can happen to a coin collector. Instead of the flashy stuff, try to pay attention to how the...
Well, for something like bullion, I would not begrudge a cancellation fee. Think of it this way, you place an order at $40. Now the market goes...
The set fees are different than negotiated rates for CC's. Discover is not the highest, actually may be the lowest. The problem with Discover is...
Great post Race. Yeah, its a very high cost market like many have said here. Its even worst if sentiment turns against silver, (market price has...
I just wanted to post something here. Many of you have read my postings about silver, and many have read my "disagreements" with passantgard and...

Most you see will be late 1820's-1830's. Those are the most common dates. Earlier the better. If you wanted to get into varieties you could, but...
Sometimes maybe I am just naive, but to me I don't see any manipulation or conspiracy, I see a lot of emotions in PM trading. I also believe...
Man, that one really surprises me. Has anyoen ever traced the provenance? My thinking is that these almost had t have been made on purpose at the...
I agree with Guy but would expand his advice. I would say buy a collector coin not tied to bullion instead of just copper. A bust half dollar has...
My advice would be high quality scarce coins. Key or not these almost always hold thier value. Examples would be XF up early cents, high grade...
Adeline, Most coin stores back their coins, so always keep yoru reciepts. TBH, the best defense is knowledge, so you are starting on the right...
One comment I would make Doug is that I disagree with your VF soft coin grade. To me that coin should be F or gF (soft strike). Typically ancient...
