I think my tastes have priced me out of US numismatics

All we have to do to stop the overpricing problem is convince Bill to stop bidding on coin auctions for the rest of 2017.

World Gold is an exciting area. I started portfolio of these in 1990 sold many when gold went to around $2000 in 2011. Mexican 50 Peso my favorite. Have many slabbed WG coins and acquire / retail as business in this area advances.

World Gold is the new wave numismatic gold market. The majority of collectors have been priced out of USGTC or shy away from these when many WG issues can be acquired relatively close to melt or not priced in the stratosphere like some promo marketing heavily marked up stickered coin (World Gold super deal vs US).

If I would live in the US, I most likely would be into US coins and would probably not even consider any others.
your AU 50 C NFL 1880 is worth around 1 K

Thanks YQQ:

I'm going to move this conversation to the other side, would like to get your opinion on the CA coin market and NF in particular.

If you want to go more regional to east of the cascades Washington, I'd highly recommend Ice Harbor Run Away Red. Preferably from the brewery in Kennewick. Best bet is to order a pig full of it. You'll enjoy it.

Ahhh, Kennewick. My first business was there

There is ALWAYS something to collect on any budget. These doom and gloom stories PISS ME OFF. Use your imagination and go!
