I actually have a cousin who works in one of the coin shops about 35 miles south of me. I've bought three and sixpences off him at melt value,...
I've actually been researching about both topics, and while that quarter looks good, if you dig deeper, it looks quite harshly cleaned. I've seen...
What slab companies have you found? I looked up ones like GEC and it says "the domain may be for sale".
SGS slabbed coins will only ever be worth their actual grade. This is a company where you should buy the coin for the coin and not the holder.
It'd honestly be cool if it got a PR-4 CAM. However, I do believe that that dark toning compared to the rainbow toning is why they gave it a...
Likely it's the rainbow toning where the coin is not lustrous. Rainbow toning generally occurs on lustrous coins like XF-45 and above, and even...
That sounds quite good to be honest. Hopefully I can get it quite cheap, as many of those coins can trade for way less no matter the cleaning...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] There is a current auction on David Lawrence Rare Coins, at the time of this post, that includes this 1818 Bust Quarter graded...
Wow. If only I could get close to that shop. Here in Indiana, I have a lot of good coin places to go to, but I've never heard of those culls for...
How on earth did you get a SEATED half for $10? I pay that as a usual price for Walkers.

I guarantee they'd look at it and slab it as a 70. LOL Uhhh.... you must be this calm all the time! Bad news is never the start when it comes to...
Lots of us new collectors have likely heard of SGS, but when you go to their website, ........nothing. However, after some digging, I actually...
Those are both quite good suggestions. Hopefully I don't get overcharged for an Indian, which means that I'd pay optimally $500-600.
I have only ever gotten precious metals below spot on few occasions. One of my local coin shops buys and sells junk silver for less than spot....
Did you buy the Morgans, the 2 Peace dollars, and the Barber half from the bank? That'd be awesome if you could get Morgans at their face value.
15 minutes? I hope you didn't miss any silver! ;)
No problem! ;) Hopefully many others can see this post and read it before investing in Eagles.
For anyone that collects Silver Eagles, we've likely seen that a shop is selling them from $21.97 each, all for various years, with monster boxes...
