Just wanted to make sure I am in the know....the 4 (?) major shows are FUN, Long Beach, ANA, and Whitman. Or is it Central States over Whitman ?
Don't worry, we're a reserve currency. Zimbabwe was ruled by Mugabe, a Marxist buffoon.
How often do you guys participate in and/or look at the weekly (or bi-weekly) Heritage Currency Auctions ?
What's the story with those National Bank Notes ? Why did private sector banks endorse government currency AFTER the Fed was created ???
I forgot, these are American GOLD Eagles so demand will be less. Could be a replay of the Kennedy 2014 (?) 3/4 oz. gold coin that traded at a...
Won't be as bad as it's 2 1/2 times the mintage of the 2019-S.
I think NGC does a good job on moderns and I also like their slabs and labels for the coins. On classics, I don't care about that stuff.
I presume you swore off the Mint for the 2019-S ASE debacle, and now you're going back not because of a quality product available to all....but...
How about Double Eagles, Saints & Liberty's ? Anybody got some relevant feedback ? And maybe one was tougher/looser on a certain DE at a...
There's a book on hoards (Bowers) and there might be articles, too. But for the most part, you wouldn't find a hoard among Walkers because you...
Were you talking to me, Fiddle ? If you were, I'm guessing that similar coins "leaked out" or were used to settle overseas commerce and trade...
Regarding your finishing tied for 1st in that grading contest....the Emperor is MOST displeased with your effort. :D
The graders would work WITH the computer programmers, just like the auto experts work with them. A bunch of coin graders would tell for each...
Agreed...but then we see coins in threads here and at other forums where they are CLEARLY mis-graded. By 2 or more numbers, I don't mean off by 1...
I got one a few months ago like that....I think DCAM, too....proof....about $50....didn't need it, but treated myself after doing all that driving...
This is how they do coins today, or at least how they helped design the 2009 UHR.
I'll take your word for it, and I am not an expert even on the coins I collect, but it seems to me that even 20 seconds is too short to look for...
Insider, not only what you said, but the TIME spent on each coin using technical grading and the equipment goes up a ton. The business model of...
When you all say "strike"...you mean relative to the die quality used, not in absolute terms ? If a particular die for a particular year or mint...
That's interesting....I get where you are coming from, but you mean to tell me that if you have 2 identical coins...and one has spectacular...
