Aruba Numismatic Museum - Worth the trip
Well I wouldn't go to Aruba just for this place, but it's pretty cool that it's there. (Maybe dealers could work in a tax write off) The Aruba Numismatic Museum is a quiet little building that really is just a very large personal collection on display. The size of the collection, variety, and organization/documentation was… -
Re: Are MS-70 coins "value traps"?
"Could a MS-64 grade 1983 quarter tone in an album and later be PCGS graded MS-66 or higher?" Funny that particular coin is being spoken about (again). Six or eight years ago (give or take), I was at a PCGS invitation and sitting at a table full of "classic guys". The subject of moderns came up and I mentioned just how… -
Re: FUN crossover attempt @ NGC a load of ......
dmwjr >>>>NGC is not going to be able to make their entire product (i.e. all the slabs on the market) consistently tight so that coin buyers will trust the slab as well as they trust the PCGS slab . . . and I'm not intending to open up that other can of worms called "trustworthiness of slabs.">>>> trust....mmmm....i trust… -

****GOLD for Sale or Trade for Modern Cr@p!!****
OK, so it's not a gold coin, but 14kt gold none the less. The local B&M said the pair's weight is 13.2 grams (0.4244oz). At the current gold value of $953.20 (based on PCGS 7/22), this would calculate to $236.65 if my info/calculations are (NOW) correct. (.4244 (ounce) x .585 (purity) = .2483 x spot) Will sell at Melt or… -
Can we design the perfect round or bar?
cinman14's Apmex thread got me just riled up enough to think about this. Why is it so hard for private minters, refiners, etc. to manufacture a round or bar that is universal, has integrity, and displays trustworthiness in the product? I realize there are limitations to manufacturing, at least if cost is an object--which… -

The first day was a sell sell sell free for all as I unloaded coins that I brought hoping to free up enough funds to buy a note or two. The efforts were very… -
Re: 1975 Topps Baseball Collectors Thread
It's not just low pops that indicate tuffness. There are some cards that, even with apprently sufficient populations that hardly ever come up on ebay (my sole source) and when they do get bid up by player/team collectors as well as set-builders. Check out my set, for example, where I am down to my last 10 cards. Aside from…
