That same logic can be applied to the seller. If you were selling coins and somebody selected a coin in your display case and paid for it, would...
I agree with letting it ship because you have no downside risk. If the coin is as good or better than the photos you may come out ahead. If it...
Very nice! And unlike modern issues that are proliferating like mushrooms, they aren't making any more of them!
As for short lived currencies, the transitional currencies from post Soviet states come to mind. For example, the Ukrainian "kupon" (coupon) and...
The US is the only country I know of where 50+ year old coins can routinely be found in circulation. That says a lot for the stability of our...
Of the coins I purchased during the 90's, the best performing ones by far are late 18th/early 19th century classic type coins. For example the...
Morgan's are definitely common but are an impressive looking coin with lots of history and plenty of demand. Modern NCLT coins are a lot more...
To me a "F/VF" grade equates to an F15, and "VF/XF" would be VF30 or 35. I would never pay much more than the price of the lesser grade, as it...
The overall strength, diversity and resilience of a country's economy are what provides value to a currency. Who cares about gold reserves?...
Acceptance of a currency as a reserve currency doesn't happen over a weekend. It is based on market consensus and trust. The Chinese yuan is the...
Even with all of our economic problems I think the US Dollar still sucks the least, so it will continue to be a store of value of choice for the...
OK, I agree that I overstated the importance of Swiss francs and British pounds. My post was not intended to be political but just a statement of...
I have traveled to a good number of foreign countries and haven't found any silver in circulation. Other than perhaps Canada, Switzerland and the...
That Barber is a nice looking coin that is much more original and attractive than many other higher grade examples in TPG holders that have been...
I just got this in the mail today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Draped Bust would be my favorite out of those four. However, I like the Trade Dollar design the most out of all 19th century coins.
I think it's a very eye appealing coin, and shouldn't we agree that plenty of coins with more issues than this one end up in clean PCGS and NGC...
I noticed that the eagle's breast on the reverse seems to be devoid of feathers. Is that a counterfeit diagnostic or are there genuine coins with...
All coins have the potential for being counterfeited but there are definitely some that are more likely to be faked than others. In addition to...
