I don't think I'll purchase the 2008 Redbook. The quality control is getting so poor that it's almost more harmful to own the book than to not...
I approach coins as about 2/3 investing and 1/3 collecting. I prefer silver and gold coinsd to copper or clad. I like the history and I like the...
You also have an option to carry the coin around as a pocket piece. It might get a few people to ask you questions about it. Also, maybe you can...
48. It's been one of those years.
Carl, Thank you for your insights and experimentation. This is a very informative thread thanks to your efforts.
I stopped buying on Ebay about two years ago. It just isn't worth the risk.
It might make more sense to gather up your coins and go into the future to sell them.
I looked at them. I've never found it easy to buy canadian coins. Canada doesn't seem to have many internet coin dealers. I guess coin/token...
Ben, I have a few canadian bank tokens also, and I believe I paid about the same price you did. They are very inexpensive compared to US large...

Yes, but the prices don't make any sense. The little lead-in articles that preceed each series are interesting to read. My personal favorite...
The realized auction prices are the best place to go to determine how much you should be willing to pay for a coin, assuming you have to buy it...
I would say just the opposite. I guess that is what makes the discussion interesting. I would say that more often than not, at least with silver...
I agree. Most of the time you should know what you want and what you should pay ahead of time. The gray sheet is just another tool in the toolbelt.
Everything silver. Eventually, maybe not this year, even silver eagles will probably command a significant premium above bullion value....
I think most coins other than bullion should be slabbed if they have enough numismatic value that you don't want your heirs to be ripped off in an...
Without checking, I believe some of the platinum coins also have extremely low mintages.
That's part of it. The other parts were soaring silver prices, a collapsing economy, and investment pool buying up rare coins as a separate asset...
The numismatic market is pretty efficient, making it tough to "invest' in coins. But is isn't perfectly efficient and there are a few approaches...
Separate names with a comma.
