I'm back.....if anyone cares.
Hey everyone! It's been like 7 months since I've been on CU and CT. What have I missed??? LOL! Had a busy year. Bought a truck. Father-In-Law passed away (my wife and I had to take care of all of the estate stuff (including selling his coin collection - that was one of my jobs, naturally) since she's the oldest and the… -
Re: Looks like our hobby isn't the only one to get hammered post COVID
For those looking for pricing on this or that, PSA has a great tool that allows you to look at past auctions in all grades. Google ‘ 1970 PSA 9 Tom Seaver’ and you will have all price discovery at your fingertips. FWIW, I don’t care about pricing, but will push back on folks that claim card prices are strong. They aren’t,… -
Re: Washington Quarter Registry Thread
Hi Mitchell, What we (actually I seem to be blowing all of the hot air) have been discussing is the effects of the PCGS "+" on the PCGS registry sets. Particularly creating a new 140 grading scale that gives newer (or richer) registry sets a distinct advantage over other sets. In the case of the new sets, the older and… -
Re: Ebay has ended every Carr 1964-D Overstruck Dollar that I have bid on
<< <i> << <i> << <i>Maybe they removed them cause they aren't real coins? Why would you want to know who is reporting them?

Re: Another view point on the Kennedys from Rich Uhrich
PNG = Professional Numismatists Guild "Professional" meaning someone who "knows" how to make money (a killing) in the retail coin industry. I know how to make money. Buy Low Sell High! Its a simple concept. However, I do not have a crowd of customers that "trusts" me when I say that the first Kennedy Gold Coin Sold is… -
Re: Future of Coin Shows
The value of a show lies in the network effects. Maximize the connections among collectors, dealers, auctions houses, graders, and events, and you have a successful show. When you start pulling out parts of the network, you undermine the network effects. No auctions? No Lot pickup? No transport? Competing shows a week… -
Re: Shipwrecks
Spanish galleon Santa Maria de la The Consolación was held up in port in 1681 after failing to receive its silver coins from the Potosi mint, causing it to miss sailing with the rest of the Armada del Sur. Upon sailing north to the rally point the lone ship was spotted by pirates, reported to be the infamous pirate… -
Re: Liquidity Crisis
But it may come down to that. Are you prepared? Heck, eggs could unobtainable at any price if the collapse and bail-ins you predict come to fruition. Have you truly thought about the consequences of your dire warnings? Have you thought those consequences are so severe that they won't happen? Have you considered your… -

Re: Rethinking the Sheldon Scale: Should Coin Grading Move from 1–70 to 1–100
At the end of the day - even with plus signs and CAC stickers and strike designations - a grade is just an opinion. I think a 100 point grading scale would actually increase the subjectivity and make agreement of opinion on a grade more difficult. A 100 point grading scale may offer greater differentiation between coins…
