So the official ANA grading standards book the ANA does not have editorial control over? That would surprise me. My only point was standards...
Great point. Remember, most assets you buy as diversification can have poor performance during a period. You don't diversify to maximize returns,...
Great post Jim. To me it reinforces the caution of reading sites written by basically one person. How do you know what his motives are? Is he...
Just makes me a little sad when people ask about "PCGS standards", when all US grading should be done by non-profit ANA standards. I understand...
Could I ask how much they go for? Matt, how much is yours listed at, (if you don't mind saying)?
In numismatics, "fake coin" covers a wide ground. The most acceptable fakes are those made to pass in the day, not made to fool modenr collectors....
Ok, I still say its 50/50, but if you believe the key is whether you believe you could flip a 69 and recoup your cost. If you are unsure or do not...
3rd century roman silver from England, huh? I bet you the yield rate of them will be pretty low. I have seen a lot of those coins from metal...

NOt trying to be a jerk, but why do you want MS70 bullion? Are you collecting a set? Having a gold buffalo in mint packaging is enough to verify...

I agree with most everyone. Just because its in a slab does not mean its not been cleaned, and I think it has. Most of these have though, so no...
Well considering every single market you listed has their own details and news going on, and equities is really 10,000 different stories and sets...
But so are coins and they are demonstrably being copied. I think the reason for premiums on ASE is two fold. One, they are coins and are collected...
And I would say Randy that those are better than many on Ebay. Ebay when it started used to have true unclean coins from the ground, and people...
