...assuming that the dollar volume of material that they auction remains constant. But if costs are going up across the board, presumably the cost...
...even though they contained almost 2% more silver than the standard circulating silver dollar, which in turn contained more silver than $1.00...
Yes, but as @drathbun pointed out, they don't need to increase their percentage to do that. If the wholesale price of a widget doubles from $10...
I got nuthin'. Again.
Maybe. Or this might be like 1983, when those "loading up" after silver's precipitate drop found that they needed to wait some 25 years for their...
Good golly, somebody decided to submit that? I can't tell for sure -- there's a good bit of glare on the photos -- but I'm wondering if there's...
Born in 1963, first got interested at age 5 or 6 when my older brother was interested. Active on and off through high school, stopped paying...
I'm in the same boat, only I stopped getting the offers sometime this summer. I assumed that I took advantage of them too vigorously when I first...
I thought that the widget here was based on the same info sources, and would stay reasonably up-to-date in its tracking. I'm not sure it's updated...
And, for what it's worth, the "spot price" indicator visible from this forum is stuck at the prices from several days ago. If anybody knows anyone...
The catch is that you can't tell a "dip" (a drop followed by a rise) from "just another part of a long downward tumble", except in hindsight. I...
:facepalm:
Don't despair -- anybody can see other examples of these at the Smithsonian. :) If I find time in the next couple of days, I'll post the pictures...
A lot of the high points on the obverse look flat in a way that screams "significant wear" to me. But from this single obverse shot, I can't tell...
Nope, nothing political here. :rolleyes:
I'm curious whether that study was done recently, or in the days of silver coins. "Heavily circulated" clads tend to maintain more of their...
Is it counterfeit?
Yep, when they're worn down to AG, they can easily lose 10% of their weight. It's even more pronounced in dimes, less pronounced in halves or...
Oh, this thread. I remember this thread. Aw, man, if only you'd called "between $15 and $20 an ounce, probably closer to 15"... (And I did sell...
