If you're grading accurately, you did great. The 1888 alone is worth that much -- at least. Just getting an 1894 and 1896 together for $35...
The only thing is -- I would think most of these new collectors would try to get the coins from circulation, just like so many of them are...
I agree. I have one UNC P&D for each year (2001-2009) -- but I'm a bit more excited about it with the 2010 design, which (on paper -- I haven't...
I'm guessing: (a) most contributors check both forums on a regular basis; and (b) the two completely different interactions going on are because...
Spike? I dunno. Have Franklin Halves spiked (and we're talking 100% silver that's almost completely disappeared from circulation -- while Jeff...
That doesn't mean others aren't annoyed by it. It is a bit confusing to have to check two different threads to see what's been written on it.
Hold on there a second . . . you two are actually talking about two different things. NotSure is talking about the long run, as an investment,...
Another pretty inexpensive way to collect them is to purchase the uncirculated sets. I tried that for last year: You get all eight coins at once,...
Hmmm . . . . good point. OK -- how about 60 years! ;-) In 1950, Silver was also around $1, but Dow was around 200. Silver increased 18-fold...
despite all the advice (bad pic, no pic of reverse, etc etc) . . . all those could be factored into your bid. But . . . . No returns?! That's...
Direct ship? You might try the "direct ship" program from the US Mint -- $250 for 10 rolls of 25 dollar coins -- postpaid. The only thing is:...
Yes -- I do think it's going to drop, or maintain -- I don't think it's going to go up very much -- but what do I know? But please look at this...
With some segments of the market, I don't think you're terribly off base. I think a good number of auctions do in fact reflect a fair market...
So, what if you had invested $1000 in the DowJones 50 years ago, and invested $1000 in silver 50 years ago. Which would be higher now?
Did you look at the chart I presented? What does that chart say to you? Among other things: of course anybody who's been purchasing over the...
Enjoy!!! And welcome!
Could you summarize for us?
I hope... ... the original poster realizes that we're not being harsh, just honest here. And, frankly, it's a whole helluva lot better to get...
Nice shots! You can use a better background, for sure, however!
I also sold an item to an eBay buyer, with delivery confirmation, and Post Office said it was delivered, but buyer said she never got it. I ended...
