I can't begin to guess how many ammo cans I've bought filled with coins. I think the price of those new ones is good. As for the warnings,...
In my experience there are many fake coins at gun shows. I've considered setting up at some gun shows with bulk 90%, silver dollars, bars, etc....
That's an interesting site. In this market anything more than $2.50 over spot is probably too much for silver Eagles, especially in quantity of...
Nice coin. Judging by the pics I'd say you got the better coin, and for a cheaper price. You paid under Greysheet for the coin...very attractive...
Guys keep in mind premiums have fallen lately. Paying melt for 90% is a good deal, yes...but not a steal. I've sold this week in the shop in...
Hi Jake, welcome to the forum. One thing that is very important is that you should develop a working knowledge on how to evaluate/grade the...
The bugaboo is that 99.9% of people don't know how to clean the coins, so the end product is usually worth less than it would have been uncleaned....
Lots of good info in this thread :-) I have always liked the idea of a friendly neighborhood coin shop. I've owned a shop for a long time now...
On ebay I'm a seller, not usually a buyer so I want to give my 2c on this seller. If he is so brazen as to admit he canceled the listing because...
I have a friend that gets calls from PCGS whenever they're really behind, and he grades for them for a short time, then back to being a coin...
Seasoned collectors and dealers can usually tell. All of the NCS coins I've seen so far were pretty easy to spot as far as having been cleaned....
My opinion. PL and DMPL dollars that are brilliant tend to bring more in PCGS holders. Still I like NGC because they are much more user...
I know the value of original, undoctored coins. Cleaning by NCS is still cleaning. Using the word "conserving" doesn't change that. NGC/NCS is...
My answer is always the same. Don't dip. Don't clean with soap and water. Don't do anything but enjoy the coin. If you don't like the way it...
It is a GREAT show. Larger than most people think. There's a spring GNA show at the same location but imo the August Blue Ridge coin show is the...
Who's going? Stop by my table and say hi. I'm easy to find. Just look for this banner and I'll be sitting under it. Hope to see y'all there! Nick
wow I was just about to post a smart-aleck reply about that Kraftwerk song. Nice job Markus! Not only do I remember that, but that song (and the...
I agree that the TPG grading of modern coins is a complete racket. Here's my thoughts. Some coins should always be certified. 16-D mercs, 09-S...
So today I was lucky enough to get 2 each of these medals. Or at least I have a confirmed order number, so I guess that's a good thing. I like...
Even if you do know how to grade, if it's not certified as such, it's not marketable as PL or DMPL. The coin market is fickle, especially these...
