Re: Availability of Silver in your area?
Inflation affects the prices of just about everything though. And since silver is often mined as a by-product, production for silver will fall as the production of other metals falls (and the costs of mining those materials rises). The demand and supply of silver are tight. In a recession industrial demand for silver may… -
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,… -
A Survey of the Quarter Dollar Type Coins, Part 1, 1796 - 1891
I wrote this article for my local club's news letter. Rather than letting it just sit on my computer, I decided to post it here for those who might be interested.

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: 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: Will CAC review CACG coins now?
But just because I don’t have the skills to know why, as a buyer I’m still just as concerned that the coin failed. I’m convinced there’s a legitimate reason in the opinion of CAC (or CACG) for that failure. I don’t believe they fail coins for no legitimate reason. If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody hears it, does that… -
40 1979-1988 Minor League Team Sets
I've never had much interest in minor league cards, but just wound up with a bunch in a collection buy. The seller thought they were gold and maybe they were once upon a time. Seems most sell for $15~ or so on ebay. I didn't spend a lot of time looking. The team sets are all in some form of bag and look to be in NM or… -
Price Gouging - One Reason Collectors Dislike Slabs
I know there are many reasons, but this is jarring. Slabs and the false concept of 'top pop' used to justify high prices. This seller lists coins at twice, five or even twenty times what you could buy them for, and yet makes hundreds of sales. Why? Is it that some people are too rich to care? If so, they can drop me $6300…
