I attempt to solve the inheritance problem by sticking mainly to silver and gold coins with relatively small premiums over the bullion value, and...
I think the coins are very collectible and have decent price appreciation potential even though they are minted as bullion coins. If...
That's a great looking token in above averae condition. I have a few tokens but they are all patriotic tokens, not merchant tokens.
Smullen, that method might have some merit if performed with distilled water and air dried, as long as it was done to circulated coins. It...
I think there is some selection bias in that sort of statistical analysis because of the high probability that people only send their best ASEs to...
No chemical application or rubbing to clean dirt from coins is ever recommended. Hairlines will always show under magnification from any sort of...

It's beginning to look as if the ANACS coins in the old holders will be more valuable than in the new ones considering the evidence that they may...
Did ANACS morph into PCI?

There is one other thing you may want to consider after deciding which company slabs to stick with. Since you are collecting for your...
Good discussion.
If the question is about how to VALUE the coins instead of how to PRICE the coins, then something like the greysheet is probably the worst method...
Andy, I'm pretty sure that some 1898 $20 liberties were also minted from the Klondike, but almost all of the 1897s were. So 1897 is the year to...
I saw the other thread and that is great also. With "only" 15 ounces of gold to go, I would think you could knock that off before lunch tomorrow...
That's really a great modern set. Makes me want to shift from gold to platinum. This might be a good idea because my usual suppliers for gold...
