When you look at the spot price, keep in mind that this is set by the futures market and represents the price for "paper" silver that is normally...
Practically all of the silver from film development was/is recycled anyway, so this really has a negligible impact on the silver industry compared...
I would rather have a plain old 1964D Peace Dollar.
I'm sure that a few people bought silver back in 1980 at $40+, but that's really irrelevant to today. They purchased it during the final phase of...
I don't have the expertise for the attribution, but I would say you got the better of the deal. I can never find CBH's with nice clean surfaces...
It's a pretty cool masonic item and worth something just for that. I can't tell what sort of coin it is from the photo.
If all you care about is "shiny" then perhaps collecting coins isn't the right hobby. Not many people acquire things with the intention of...
I don't think anything has changed about my collecting habits. But in the past 6 months I've sold a few coins for the first time -- partly...
The commemorative coins should already be in plastic holders. Having them graded will be a waste of money. Using airtites for the ASEs is a good...
To me, that's a positive -- the holder of a coin with intrinsic value obtains some protection from inflation.
Ditto.
But what they can't quite grasp is that there is no loss as long as they sell at a price higher than their replacement cost.
It is important to define what you mean by shortage. There isn't a "shortage" of ASEs or other retail forms of silver in the sense that all of it...
If you are thinking long term [i.e., five years or more], this is probably a good-to-great entry point. You might also notice that it is...
Besides all of the great ideas above, you need a business mind. This isn't always obvious. For example, there is a coin dealer who owns an...
That's exactly why I only purchase slabbed coins anymore for anything of real value. I think it's the best reason of all to use TPGs.
I'm holding out for $100.:thumb:
That seems like double-counting. If a coin that is otherwise a 63 is raised to a 64 because of eye appeal, then someone will look at the slab and...
I don't dispute that slabs aren't air-tight. But I never have bought into the idea that coins can be preserved in perfect condition forever. I...
Does anyone know which addition is considered to contain the best photos?
Separate names with a comma.
