When talking about bids or sale prices, I always include the juice. I hate that we even have to distinguish. I feel that auction houses using...
I bid over $750 on one thing but didn't win it, everything that I landed was under that. At least things are flattening/dropping for us middle...
I actually won 5 coins in tonight's Heritage Auction. Either the prices are flattening out, or I screwed up some calculations :inpain:
Not a big deal, but I prefer to not have threads pinned to the top if possible. It's just a little bit of a pain to eye-scroll through them to get...
Good question, and one that I've wondered about myself. If you can get 85% of auction sale price through CT then you'd actually be making money....
It is possible for an environment to be created where oxidation/corrosion would not occur. For instance, if the surrounding groundwater were...
There are deals to be had for sure, @Finn235 's coin as an example. I simply don't have the expertise or desire to do the necessary due diligence...

No problem. I spend more time than I probably should compiling the information, it's a bonus when others find it useful! You and me both! Heck,...
My collection is composed of Late Republic and Roman Imperial coins ranging from Julius Caesar through Theodosius I (Emperors, family members,...
There are certainly a lot of factors that are not tracked in my analyses. I just want a nice looking bust coin of each person of interest in the...
I only buy slabbed coins, so Heritage is unfortunately my only source for reliably cyclic auctions. I've been pretty stand-offish the last couple...
Well..... Now we know why Covid happened. Maybe stealing Hygeia's coin offerings was not such a great idea!
A person should probably focus on things other than collectables if they are in the habit of getting down to their last $60. ;)
Star notes are one thing, but why would sequential bills be worth hanging onto? All money issued from the federal reserve comes in sequential...
I love everything about metal detecting. It scratches the treasure hunting itch while being outdoorsy. It would be amazing to live somewhere and...
The cheek and neck being blurred is a strange thing to be sure, as it should be in focus just like the rest of the coin. Again, I don't want to...
Separate names with a comma.
