Hah! I just realized that silverprice.org's silver chart has a legend at the bottom showing which markets trade during which hours! [ATTACH]
"Relative scarcity" of Roosevelt dimes washed out when silver hit five dollars an ounce, and people were still filling albums of those when silver...
Yep, the truth is out there. It's just always waaaay at the back of the shelf behind all of the axe-grinders, True Believers, "just asking...
If I ever clear off enough space to take up coin photography again, I'll want to give the different-color-temperature thing a try. I think I...
Kitco isn't showing any trades today higher than $94.60 or so. Still. I can't believe we're looking at over three dollars a gram for silver.
It seems like the highest new highs often come during Asian/overseas trading. I expect it to get knocked back down a bit when American markets...
I can't find a hint of color in the NGC photos. Now I'm wondering if the seller actually uses gel filters, or maybe multiple lights with different...
Seems like most of our car-racing deaths around here have featured homegrown talent. The only Venezuelan immigrant who's attracted my attention...

Looks like the Asian markets are doing their usual Monday-morning pop for silver. And look at gold go! $4682 at least check, making a beeline for...
Oops, forgot the last beer bottle photo: [ATTACH]
And finally, when I started college in the fall of 1980, cents were already of completely trivial value. I started putting them into a Tech Beer...
Every year, Mom's parents would give each grandchild $25 on their birthday. I think this was the last time they did that. When I was very young,...
This bank came out of a tin stored in the wall of a friend's father's house. I sold a bunch of silver for her at a show (mostly 40% Kennedys),...
I meant to post some photos to this thread, but it's taken until now for me to dig out the things I wanted to show. Separate posts coming, as the...
Still going to respectfully disagree on this point. When you're just starting a set, your knowledge of that series is at its minimum. To my mind,...
Still have to see those mint marks, though, at least on the Morgans. And possibly sharp enough photos to look for hot VAM pickups?
Separate names with a comma.
