You are not speaking of DCA, merely average purchase price. Big difference. Simply keep track of each ounce you buy and sell, (since you do...
Two best ways I know on how to apportion cost. One, if you bought the lot for just one or a few coins, apportion the cost to them, and the rest...
You guys put me to shame. Maybe its a function of how long you have been collecting. When I had just a few hundred coins I could tell you where I...
Because most Americans do not collect them, so they are discounted. There are many coins cheaper in the states than their home country, I buy them...
That sums it up nicely from my understanding as well.

You are in good shape then. No rush. Before you know it you will be an old hand like me with thousands of coins. :)

Hate to say it NOS, but good thing you weren't around in 1965 or I bet you would have really got cheese'd off. I know Americans have had pretty...
Well, to clarify, in the mint the split second after the coin is struck is considered mint state. Any damage after that, be it in hoppers at the...
1962-64 dimes, quarters, and halves say hi. :) I bet you half of these have been melted, and I have never seen a worn 1964 coin below AU.
I agree absent closer pics on the 4. I believe you will find looking at the relief on the numeral telling. If it was doctored, the added part of...
I find Buffett pretty honest, he just does it first, then explains why. I don't blame him for not advertising to the world he is accumulating a...
