Not my understanding, GD. 99.999% of Saints were used in settling trade and gold accounts. Very few circulated, something I didn't really know...
Actually, that's wrong...I have lots of MS69 AND 70 coins. Probably 50-50 or a bit more to the 69's.
A bunch of GSAs for sale over at HA.
I liked the TBP Catalog so much and wanted to preserve it that I bought a 2nd one, in softcover. :D
Just because something has a rarity in one country doesn't mean that similar rarity in another means they should command the same price. The gap...
Seller pays the commission ? How's it work ? I think they sell alot of stuff on Ebay.
Totally agree....CAC is real, holders are just speculation. I do recall the owner of one of the 1927-D Saints asking for a DOWNGRADE a few years...
If bullion is moving up, then pure bullion coins would probably do best. I do have many MS70's but they probably would lag to the upside.
Thanks....if someone stored a gold or silver coin in a velvet pouch 100 years ago, would that scratch to your knowledge ?
Why do they use the word "Details" ? What's being detailed ? I never understood why that signified a problem coin.:wideyed:
I did see them, just wanted to double-check with experts more familiar with Morgans. I might be stupid or something....but why does cleaning...
I like NGC's answer better....just put a label on it or a ribbon around it. To put an oversized plastic holder in ANOTHER holder is too much for me.
Just so we're clear for us novices...where are the hairlines and/or other evidence of cleaning you guys are focusing on ? Where's the wear ?
If you don't need a hard-to-find coin, GC is a great alternative. Bought a few coins from them, more currency from HA.
Yup, that's the rub. You can pay a slight premium and get the coin today or soon....or save a few bucks and get it months or years down the line....
What local coin auctions are you talking about -- estate sales ?
Jim, lots of us get where you are coming from. And quite frankly, I think the mark-ups and commissions could be a bit less and still let the...
You must be seeing wear on all 3 coins on the high points. Can you tell us where ?
Every time I have gotten into a new hobby -- coin collecting, auto detailing, dogs :D -- it's been when I've been at home/out of work. I have no...
Nope, technically that is true. Yup, at least in theory. :D The TPGs have graded them in their OGP for years. They put a ribbon with the grade...
Separate names with a comma.
