Agreed - it's a fantastic time to buy.
I wish I could participate in this bear market. I've got several items of interest coming up in some auctions in the next few weeks. None of them are among the finest known; a couple are rare, but they are not U.S. coins; and none of them have CAC stickers.

Try the BST with a few pieces... you may do well...If not, then make a decision - hold for better times or take the loss and move on. Cheers, RickO
Another good reason NOT to keep a record of what you paid for a coin.
When you sell, it is ALL gravy above face value.
