And while they get "inspected" at the Mint, it's not the same detailed inspection they get at a TPG. I've certainly seen PF69 coins where I...
Maybe I should clarify -- nothing I've posted is intended to minimize the suffering of everybody on the low end of the economic...
Not 50% in two years. Sure, there are exceptions. Who would've thought disposable masks would become a scalpable commodity? Hand sanitizer?...
[IMG] Oh, man, I needed that today. All year, in fact.
Congratulations -- you have a normally-functioning human brain, which gives you a built-in talent for finding things hidden in visual clutter,...
No way in heck would anyone waste silver on a fake that terrible.
That's more than a "ding", it's a "chomp". That said, though, while any dealer you're trying to sell it to will say "it's trash, nobody will buy...
Highly sought COLLECTIBLES Rare Mint Error on Nickel Adverse and Obverse! I thought a coin had only three sides -- obverse, reverse, and edge....
I guess I'd better go find some sixth-graders to hang out with this evening. :oops:
Well, you know how it goes -- the Mint hikes prices, people quit buying in disgust, a few issues sell really low numbers, the Mint discontinues...

As I said, hoarding is its own reward. The stories we tell ourselves about why we're doing it are just that -- stories. Rationalizations. But,...
Of course those things matter. Similarly, if a dealer at a show has his table covered with political or philosophical stuff that I find repugnant,...
If they were all identical, I'd pick the one with the lowest price, or quickest shipping, or whatever. What the seller paid is completely...
I see absolutely no point. Consider three listings for, oh, I don't know, some silly PF70 modern gold thing. Listing 1: "I bought this coin from...
And they aren't thinking it through. A roll of silver quarters "held its value" (as a very rough approximation). In the early 1960s, it was...
From what I've read of Vesuvius, I'm going to stick with "the faster, the less sad".
If I can ever figure out how to protect the camera, I should do a video of my big Fresnel lens focusing sunlight on a Zincoln. It (like the laser...
Really remarkable discovery. If only we could make a similar discovery in... oh, dear, never mind, wrong forum. :rolleyes:
