One year, Mom's father gave a silver dollar to each of the grandkids. I imagine he got them during that flood you mentioned. I think all of them...
It doesn't appear to be the right size, shape, or position to be a mint mark. The one I lucked into had very low relief on the mint mark, but it...
Now, that's starting to look like some circulation wear! I haven't yet managed to get comparable wear on any of my pocket pieces.
Greenish-brown, at least to my eyes. They really stand out in a pile of other circulated nickels, although regular cupronickel coins can sometimes...
In general, the older I get, the less I'm inclined to gamble on big future moves in either direction.
40% is always harder to move, and trades at more of a discount. When silver was in the doldrums ten years (ish) ago, I went to one show where most...
Sure there is -- a conviction that you'll be able to replace it at a lower price in the near future. (See post above.)
Google News fed me a story today that Citi has called a top for gold, and predicts falls of up to 25% next year. I won't be surprised to see them...
Also a lot more certainty with a place like APMEX. No worries about fraudulent or grumpy buyers.
So... probably not a good idea to hit this particular artifact with Verdi-Care?
Rust with luster!
I'm not a world collector, but I'm gonna have to get one of those Brandenburg coins one of these days, just out of vanity.
It's not much, but it's what I've got in my pocket: [ATTACH]
Good point. Look at what they apparently have people use for toilet paper.
Absolutely gross. But I think I'm more offended by a few of their other listings that apparently did grade cleanly. I wonder if they're in the...
Not sure I'd trust the (presumably XRF) gun in those circumstances, but I'm also pretty sure that dealer had a LOT more experience with the gun...
I've tried to figure out the inverse of dollar-cost-average buying, too. But "swap silver for more dollars when the dollars are weaker, and fewer...
Would depend on the Morgans and halves/quarters, but... below spot? It would be tempting. I try to stick to "don't pay more than you know you...
I'm curious, too. Often when a metal price spikes, offers from dealers lag considerably. It was different during the 2011 spike - at that point, I...
Last one I tried would only say "FLUID LOW".
Separate names with a comma.
