Re: 1941 bronze wheat penny
JBK Not disputing or correcting you, just letting you know why I posted what I did. Pre 1944 Lincoln cents were made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Bronze is made of 80-90% copper and 10-20% tin. Lincoln cents seem to fall in between so I don’t know if either term is technically correct but I think copper is more… -
Re: USPS postal thefts, probably inside the Jersey City Distribution Center
only the thieves themselves truly know when the karma hits. it’s unfortunate their victims don’t get to witness when the piano drops from a story above, ontop of their head. sometimes, when I’m in public and I see someone fall down really hard, or take a direct hit of bird-droppings to the face, I always wonder, “what did… -
Re: Buying the best quality you can afford …
To elaborate, I'd also opine it would be best to stretch for the coins that really supercede the holder they're in...the coins that stop us in our tracks even if the label is covered up. These are the coins that are only held back by their grades, but they still tend to perform well over time. We often advise to "buy the… -
Watched RCTV, the show was dedicated to selling what is remaining of MS62 1899-P Liberty $20 Gold
.........all part of the great "European gold hoard." This guy Rick is the best snake oil salesman on TV. The PCGS price guide for MS62 1899 $20 Gold Liberty coins is $3k. He is selling them for $4,495. The best part is that they are "Smithsonian Quality." 😂 Did you also know this coin is a 'key date?' 😂 Of note, I checked… -
Re: On sale, Thursday June 6th - American Eagle 2024 one ounce gold and silver uncirculated coins
At these prices, it would be shocking if it wasn't the new low mintage. "Key" is a loaded term, because if gold stays around here, or goes even higher, and if the Mint maintains the premium, demand is likely to fall off a cliff. Prior issues in SP70 at less than $3200 are hardly a bargain, given how much they cost at… -
Re: Brief Coin Show Report: Des Moines, IA
The show in Sioux Falls was surprisingly good. I hadn't been to this particular one before and was pleasantly surprised, there were a lot of dealers that had brought 1950-70 proof sets (the area I collect) which is somewhat unusual. I can see how you think it is quite distant, but the shows were to some extent all in the… -
Monaco coins of the 1950's, the French Riviera, and writer David Dodge
Monaco is a small principality located on the French Riviera and has been independent for a long time. It mints it's own coins, and by agreement with France, uses French coin denominations and specifications. In the 1950's Monaco was in the news for a number of reasons. Coins of Monaco in the 1950's: Monaco 10 francs 1950… -
Celebrity autographs
So I had a stack of celebrity 8x10's and pulled a handful to send in on the special a couple months back. This was what came back. I see on Ebay there is some value to them and should at least cover my costs plus some profit. The ones I'm curious about, as I have no clue about celebrity autos, would be the Peter Falk. The… -
Re: NAZ back to 5,000 and beyond?
Yes, buy stocks at all time highs. When gold went to new all time highs in 2010, the price rise accelerated and gold doubled in less than 2 years. The Dow Jones Ind Avge just made a new all time high earlier this year. Disinflation doesn't mean that prices are falling it means that the rate of inflation is decreasing. Many… -
Gloom & Doom SHTF Question - as it relates to Gold & Silver & The US Dollar
In such a situation,,, which I firmly believe is coming,,, the dollar falls and eventually becomes worthless. Gold & Silver skyrockets. My question is what happens to the debt you have on paper committed to in Dollars. Say mostly the mortage balance due on your home? If you owe $50,000 I am assuming it stays at $50,000 as…
