and that's exactly what can happen with some eBay items. A buyer with an eagle eye (and patience, and a bit of luck) can sometimes find some real...
Newbie question: from where does one get current MS coins? (Ignore the "can't find 2009 business strikes" problem). Do you just get new rolls...
My most amazing find was a 1924-d cent. I once started a thread about how I found it and posted pix (short story: for about 25 years I stopped...
Nice analysis Lehigh -- thanks. Genuine question -- from what I've read, I've gotten the following impression -- am I off base? And that...
anyone taking bets on what it'll go for? I'm guessing at least $100
If you're grading accurately, you did great. The 1888 alone is worth that much -- at least. Just getting an 1894 and 1896 together for $35...
The only thing is -- I would think most of these new collectors would try to get the coins from circulation, just like so many of them are...
I agree. I have one UNC P&D for each year (2001-2009) -- but I'm a bit more excited about it with the 2010 design, which (on paper -- I haven't...
I'm guessing: (a) most contributors check both forums on a regular basis; and (b) the two completely different interactions going on are because...
Spike? I dunno. Have Franklin Halves spiked (and we're talking 100% silver that's almost completely disappeared from circulation -- while Jeff...
That doesn't mean others aren't annoyed by it. It is a bit confusing to have to check two different threads to see what's been written on it.
Hold on there a second . . . you two are actually talking about two different things. NotSure is talking about the long run, as an investment,...
Another pretty inexpensive way to collect them is to purchase the uncirculated sets. I tried that for last year: You get all eight coins at once,...
Hmmm . . . . good point. OK -- how about 60 years! ;-) In 1950, Silver was also around $1, but Dow was around 200. Silver increased 18-fold...
despite all the advice (bad pic, no pic of reverse, etc etc) . . . all those could be factored into your bid. But . . . . No returns?! That's...
Direct ship? You might try the "direct ship" program from the US Mint -- $250 for 10 rolls of 25 dollar coins -- postpaid. The only thing is:...
Yes -- I do think it's going to drop, or maintain -- I don't think it's going to go up very much -- but what do I know? But please look at this...
With some segments of the market, I don't think you're terribly off base. I think a good number of auctions do in fact reflect a fair market...
So, what if you had invested $1000 in the DowJones 50 years ago, and invested $1000 in silver 50 years ago. Which would be higher now?
Did you look at the chart I presented? What does that chart say to you? Among other things: of course anybody who's been purchasing over the...
