I just wanted to thank everyone for the replies. I have decided to resist the temptation and keep them as is. Should I ever decide to crack it...
I can’t say I have put any thought into the threshold to be considered a significant player. I have a friend with north of a million tied up in...
I ran across a small unopened boxed from when we moved, and in it was an OBW roll of what I assume are all 1954 P Jefferson nickels. One end is...
I love the old loaf bars. I used to snatch these up every time they came in my local brick and mortar back in the day. Thank you for the link! At...
Wow, these are very nice! I see why you like them.
Hey Chris, by all means, post some pictures of your favorites if you would like! I always enjoy seeing what others find interesting.
It is posts like these that make me nostalgic about my EAC days. Beatiful coin!
I wouldn't consider myself a major player in the silver market, but I am doing alright. Here is what I have so far. Any thoughts? [ATTACH] For...
I asked this question not too long ago on another forum, so if this your second time seeing it, I apologize. I will be traveling to Montreal...

I understand your point and somewhat agree, but I wouldn't say I pay a premium or discount based on the plastic but more so the coin. A premium...
Let me start by saying that when it comes to buying world coins already graded, I could care less if they are in a PCGS, NGC, or an old white...
This is also a good point. I will edit the scenario above to reflect this.
The difference between technical grade and eye-appeal is a critical point that I failed to address in my original post. GDJMSP (Doug?) provided a...
It seems as though I read somewhere (maybe Dotty's work on the Soho Mint) that the weight of the 8 Reales was slightly reduced (i.e., shaving or...
Cleaning is a beast of a different nature. I do my best to avoid cleaned or "problem" coins. With that said, the label on the holder has little do...
I am not sure if this is allowed, but I couldn’t find the individual picture files for these coins, so here is a group shot. [ATTACH]
You make an excellent point. Both of the Proof 65s were fantastic coins with their own merits, but neither of them had the eye appeal of this...
