It's hard to say. It's hard to know how many potential buyers will turn away if they look at your asking price and say "nah, he'd never come down...
They sure can. But with an auction, you're running the risk that that one person who would be the perfect buyer doesn't come across the auction...
From time to time I could swear I see these going for less of a premium than circulated 90% dimes/quarters. I assume that you get less for them...
The big bars are harder to sell, though, aren't they? There's more risk of a fake or tampered bar, and people make lower offers as a result. And...
I have no simple answer, but here's another data point: [IMG] I documented this coin's saga in a previous thread. PCGS says an 1878-P in PR45...

OK, this is a first -- everybody's seen photos of 1923 dollars where the 3 looked like an 8, but I mistook the 3 for an 8 in your thread title in...

Where's the wear? I see some places that toned differently, but I don't see anything that looks like it would represent a luster break. (Not that...
Yeah, but remember, Zincolns start to expire after only a few years. The billions being minted accumulate from year to year, but I'll bet they...
Yep, different storage conditions and environmental exposure.
Generic rounds or bars will cost less when you buy them, but also net you less when you sell them. If you just want the most silver for your...
Yep, if you execute everyone, the crime rate goes to zero... if only because you also run out of victims. "If you give me six lines written by...
Counterpoint: there's no local show this weekend, so expect gold and silver to hold their current highs heading into the weekend. :rolleyes:
I was just about to say "unless they're CCs". Even S mints would still make it a good buy. But the likelihood of either is somewhere between "not...
Grundy, VA? THAT brought back some happy memories -- one of the friends that got me through my freshman year intact was from Grundy. Never been...
