I've been meaning to buy that 1949 ship Canadian coin. Several years ago I started collecting coins with ships on them, but never got around to finishing the coins I wanted to get. oh rats, just forgot there was a local coin show I meant to go to today.
Just checked moneymetals.com, they're selling mixed quarters and dimes at 45.15x and buying at 39.01x. That's a 13.6% spread, a good bit wider than the 10% I saw a week or so ago. I'm guessing this market has everyone spooked.
