This is not strictly true. I said that many foreign coins sell at or based on Krause prices because neither party knows better or because it is...
So you're suggesting that absurdly low prices for US and world moderns are real but real coins are underpriced! You're suggesting that Krause...
Great site. Thanks so much for all the effort and knowledge.
If the Redbook lists a $700 1982-P 25c for $15 then I suppose the Bluebook will list it for a quarter. I'm boycotting all the price guides...
It's strange to think the height of the space age in many ways was half a century ago. This isn't to demean more recent accomplishments and some...
It was the spring/ summer of 1969. Silver was disappearing sporatically and continually as the price increased and often got above face in the...
When governments debase the coinage they'll usually melt the old coins on hand but usually old coins on hand are a small fraction of all surviving...
This is the fastest way to hook a new collector.
I would strongly disrecommend the Redbook to anyone only interested in collecting moderns. The prices are highly misleading and will probably...

Hey! Some of his Lincolns surprise me. It's surprising enough to see spectacular Gems but then he also posts pictures of things I've never...

A lot of the coins in these sets are virtually unavailable from any other source. The FM spared no expense in assembling them and charged...
I love most of the mint products but I almost never buy them from the mint. Just wait a few years and buy them on the aftermarket. They will not...
They're importing our jobs and our wealth. According to at least one Chinese official the problem with the US is that it imports too much...
If the Chinese wanted US coins they'd just make their own. Like they already do. They even make waffled half dollars to sell the a very...
...And no one seems to care about the mint sets either. About .2% of '88-D's look like branch mint proofs. There are PL's all through these sets.
Of course, except in the very highest grades all the memorials are "common". But there are several dates that are acrtually quite elusive in just...
It may be old news but then how long is it going to take before people realize a lot of the memorials are scarce in nice condition? Maybe after...
Cu/ ni is a lot harder. But the reason they wear so much better is largely that the metalis lighter so it has less momentum when it collides or...
