Re: Heres the Scenerio
Don't think it is up to Grandma to file charges or not. Did she not report a burglary? Call the DA....press for charges. Either grandson stole or grandma is filing false report (insurance fraud??). Seems harsh, but this is the only way this will end. -
Wonky flea market find
Poking my hand thru mounds of bits and pieces of stuff at a local flea market, I came across a dirty flip holding a 1888 IHC with a notation "Found in water at Niagara Falls when damn was built". Of course I had to connect the dots. The Falls monument opened in early 1880's, dam project was in 1961. Coin is VG at best but… -
Re: looks like gold and plat will cross paths soon? explain.....
Gold is the universal money.... It will always hold value. Platinum is metal used in industry. The country is falling into a deep recession. Therefore demand for Platinum will fall as production of vehicles, electronics, and we can't forget it is also used as a refining catalyst in the petroleum industry, continue to… -
Re: PCGS Market Report Article on Classic Commems
Let me start by saying, I didn’t read the Article. I just saw the screenshot above (that Goldbully posted) of the list of all the coins that dropped 80%-90% and the picture at the bottom of the page of a coin that sold at auction (16) years ago for $69,000.00. That particular 1926 Oregon that sold for $69,000.00 has a… -
Re: The absurdity of plastic - New NGC Black slab
<< <i>Oreville, those items you list sort of support my view. I was hoping someone could come up with an example where a 50-100X ratio exists somewhere else in modern day US coins. That would be similar to putting a common coin worth $10-$30 coin into a black slab and increasing its value to $1500+. A premium of 2X to 4X… -
Re: Would someone please post a picture of a AU capped bust half that is uncleaned, not dipped and with
This is such a controversial subject. There is original (almost nonexistant) and original as best we can guess. White coins are pretty much never original, so Bill, I agree that your 1812 is not original. Experts like slumlord and such swear that the only truly original busties are those that are "powdery" grey/brown.… -
Re: Palladium price collapse
You are going under the false assumption that when precious metals coinage gets hot, clads will automatically be "hot" too. People who sold silver coins at good numbers in 2011 didn't jump into clads. I agree that they will buy what's hot but if they're making bank on precious metal coins then they will continue to dance… -
Re: Shipwreck silver?
I think it's a fine line between slag and artifact. The ones that are well preserved with readable and understandable markings are very cool. The ones that just look like dirty lumps not so much. Wonder how they perform over time. Like if the premium increases dramatically as the value of silver falls. I don't think I'd… -
Re: The official 2014 Topps Heritage thread
OK, so the Embossed replace the Memorable Moments and the 65 Draft cards. I just hope the Draft Cards all fall in the case. If you only get one or two per case, that would make it a tough Master Set. Bazooka are retail only, I didn't know that. Was that the same as last year? I was wondering why I didn't get any. Same with… -
