If 1 person or country, owned all of the gold in the world, would it really be worth anything? I'd pay $20-$30 for a pretty piece of jewelry, but...
I'm with Fifty...guns are my passion, and I frequent quite a few gun forums. Coin collecting and numismatics are my secondary hobby and I use...
I received a 1962 proof set in 1974 that probably cost $12 at the time. They don't cost much more than that now, but there's been A LOT of...
I don't believe that any of those 1999 Silver proof sets are housed in PVC holders....
PS- Just look at most of the 1999 silver proof sets for sale on eBay, that have some decent pics, and you will see it to varying degrees.
If a proof coin has it, it's pretty evident...it's a whitish, cloudy looking haze, like toning without 'color'. It usually starts to cover the...

I think that a lot of slabs are bought by those who feel that they'll have to resell them or are afraid that they'll lose money in the future. To...

Stereo microscopes make loupes look pretty lame...especially while you're holding a coin right up to your eye and breathing all over it...not good.
Get a variable power stereo microscope with a decent USB eyepiece or trinocular port camera. You will get good pics and you will LOVE the...
The law says that enough silver ASEs have to be produced to meet the public demand, which has been very high. No time/silver blanks left for the...
I think the best bang for the buck is a used stereo microscope from eBay. It will allow you to see your coins in 3-D and you can use a USB camera...
PCGS will never make a dime offa me. They are all a bunch of jerks!
I would think any wear would show luster breaks.
1964 Kennedy halves usually have the least amount of wear on them. Less wear=more silver by weight.
Several years ago I was buying a lot of silver off of eBay, and I never once had to pay over spot including shipping. It was only $7/oz. back...
