I'm reading alot about minor die varieties in my Saints book. If die varities are created by the normal wear-and-tear of a die, is it really...
You look at the 1976-2015 Burdette/HA price guestimates....you look at a chart of the PCGS 3000.....you look at a chart of gold or silver.....it's...
Dealers ? I'm curious to those of you who had businesses.....how much (overhead) would you save monthly if you eliminated a small storefront and...
Excellent points. Spot on.....and the fact that gold couldn't really be bought until 1975 had to freeze/impact the numismatic prices even if you...
The Real Important Question....What are we both doing up at 3:22 AM posting ? :D:D
Agreed, it was just a nice inclusion to have a chart for every single coin in this book going back that far. Remember what you had in Aker's or...
Yup, I checked this but like the NGC site because they graph the data. You think the same exact coin in a PCGS slab gets that oft-discussed...
Good point....HA appears to have that in their archives. Ideally, you would compare the same graded coins with similar multiple-bids, indicating...
It's not about "honest" money. In the past, an information gap existed but that isn't the case today with TV, the internet, etc. What happened...
Tonight on HA (Central States auction but no convention)...A 1907 MS65 HR Saint went for $24,000 ($28,800 with bp)....this seems down from recent...
I wish there was something telling me how many people were signed in on the Heritage Auction tonight. Would be interesting to compare compared to...
It was one of the reasons The Great Depression came about....too many countries tried to defend their currencies and maintain tight money policies.
You bought 12 coins recently or tonight ?
You can't have a currency tied to other countries monetary systems or precious metals. End of story. If Russia has a stockpile of silver or...
Yeah...I meant in the MS65-67 range, which is obviously probably the floor for moderns but can be a conditiona rarity for alot of classics....
Mintage and survivorship are NOT directly related ! You can have low-mintage and if was stored somewhere that escape melting, you can have...
WERE they low mintages ? I don't recall and don't have the numbers in front of me, but remember it's SURVIVING coins that matters, not mintage.
I have been watching the Saint-Gaudens 1907 High Relief market pretty closely (for general interest and to prepare for a possible 2021...
But if you go high enough in condition, it does become rare. I think I paid a decent price for my 1884-CC in MS66 or MS67.
I guess that Carson City dollars just have more natural demand. Brings back memories of the Old West, etc. :p
