I've always had it in the back of my head (lots of free space!) that SEGS was kind of THE grading company for Jefferson nickels. I've seen a...
Doesn't do much for my opinion of Coin World. Lessee, spread fear. How to overcome fear? Education. How to get Education? Buy Coin World....
Interesting thread. Camaro, I don't quite understand your repeated remark that the store has bad hours - Tues-Fri 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. What's so...
What the latest people have said... Interesting thread though. One man's treasure..... The OP did ask whether it was a "good" price, so...
Another consideration is the effect or sway that numismatic opinion has and will have on the valuation of coins. The coin marketplace has...
I think this is a most interesting observation. For something to become valuable, there must be people that want them. I think everyone who...
Decorah's just a tish too far for me to make it worthwhile. I've only ever been to these smallish Iowa shows. All the dealers know each other,...

You'll have to ask the new collectors five years from now. Coin collectors have acquired however many they want - whether that be zero or rolls...
