I took that as being on the plastic. Only real thing I saw was on the rays on the reverse. That is the problem both with looking through thick...
I would go with that. Maybe 66+ or something.
Everyone else get the email from CNG this morning saying prices are abnormally high since so many are at home? Makes sense. I just keep coins I...
Wow. As a percentage it really sticks out in these lower markets. $1200 for $600 in bullion kind of hard to stomach.
I visited Chicago and noticed downtown ATMs put out $100s and $50s. I loved it. I wish more ATMs did, I am sick of a pile of $20 every time.
Mine just sent me a similar note but their appointments are only for anyone 60 or older. Therefore, my sdb is now off limits. Luckily I also have...
This is the reason toned coins were never desired in the past. They can simply continue to tone, and the end result is corrosion if not stopped....
From the photos looks very harshly cleaned. I doubt it would be a clean grade as well, for a few reasons. Pretty coin for a display or something.

No, spot IS the "market". Physical long term is tied to spot, but when people get crazy inventory is depleted and premiums get jacked up. I am...
Mostly correct. I believe if you pay cash for a contract upfront on the exchange you can take physical delivery. So, if you have enough cash, you...
Not going to go crazy, but I am looking around seeing what I might like. I am in the food business, so pretty good job security. Some stuff up,...
Real money drives the spot, small investor money drives physical. Big players selling to raise cash to cover margin, be in position to buy on the...
I agree, and am working on the set slowly myself as well. However, sellers who used to want $200 premiums for proof platinum eagles now want $600...
Inhumanity over quoting statistics freely available and the common economic principal that the younger generation, just starting out, are bigger...
In 2008 gold weakened, (basically for same reason as now I suspect), but in response to fiscal stimulus it spiked in 2011. As prices came down...
Cents have a copper outer layer. Copper is not a hospitable place for viruses. Given you have washed them already, dry them off and deposit. No...
