Re: I asked a bullion dealer at FUN if he had cash .......
At the show, I encountered dealers paying as low as 37x face when the spot price supported 55x face!!! Most were in the mid-low 40x face range. I sold a little at 47x face which was about 85% of what it was worth. Ugh. I should have kept shopping around but at least I didn't fall for the ********* of selling it at 67% of… -
Re: 2026 ASE-W Proof Coins
Even so, in the past they would take Back Orders, even if they had to keep pushing back ship dates. They allowed people to buy, and to know they had confirmed orders, even when they had no current inventory. Now, for whatever reason, manifesting @HATTRICK's saying about a box of chocolates, you never actually know what… -
EUREKA! Gold is Discovered in California!!! Say Hello to EVE, One of the Very First Gold Dollars
When the first flakes of Gold were discovered at Sutters Mill early in 1848, probably no one realized that it was the beginning of the most Important event in American History since the Revolution. The United States now began to expand and populate the land from Sea to shining Sea. California would become a State in 1850,… -
Re: Legend Coin Descriptions - what can we make of them?
I know many disagreed with me when I brought it up before, but a few shared my opinion. Was reading through Legend's new inventory this morning as saw the following in the description of their 1909 IHC in PCGS MS66+RD CAC (which by the way is a great looking coin): "There are NO auction records for any MS66+s. A NON CAC… -
Re: US Mint silver reprice email
GAAP, LIFO, and FIFO accounting -- including the need to purchase new silver at higher prices -- demand that market pricing reflect current conditions, even if the silver was purchased a year ago. It's the same thing with gasoline prices....they jump to the market price even for gasoline in the ground a month ago....and… -
Report from the front lines today
I’ve been running to the shops the past couple weeks to sell, buy, and just for entertainment. The goal today was to see what the drop in price did to the retail side and maybe buy a little. I envisioned it being slow for them. I thought no one wouid be selling and also maybe buyers didn’t want to catch a falling knife.… -
Re: huh oh SGC president quits...
You seem to be focused on resale value. Subgrades provide transparency, knowledge and accountability of the grade. I think most would like to know the thinking behind the grade given, regardless of the grade. Subgrades definitely add value. With good centering seemingly being the trend nowadays, a BGS9 with… -
Re: The 2026 Silver Proof Set is a potential winner
Unlikely, unless the published prices are mistakes. Which they do not appear to be. Maybe after a year, if a lot of product sits unsold. But certainly not in reaction to reflexive subscription cancellations. They had to have known such a violent price increase would be a shock to our system. It's an open question regarding… -
Re: 1985 Topps Baseball Wax box question.
__A 1985 Topps Baseball 36-count wax box, even if housed inside a 1981 Topps display box, is generally worth between $500 and $800, with certified, sealed, and, if applicable, "Factory Authorized" (FASC) boxes reaching the higher end of that range. These boxes are valued for potential high-grade rookie cards of Mark… -
Re: Schilling's got a Big Mouth and now Bond's might be going after him.
Here is the article: chaz Barry Bonds apparently is ready to fight back. According to a report by InsideBayArea.com, the web site for the Oakland Tribune, the new home run king has hired two lawyers to go after and punish those that make false statements about him. Oakland’s John Burris and San Francisco’s Todd Schneider…
