Re: 70th Anniversary of Lincoln Cent Double Die Obverse 1955
The story of the 1955DDO cent is incomplete. See below. The night shift of the Philly Mint decided to release the doubled die cents instead of destroying them as a hurricane was forecasted and the employees did not want to fall behind their production quota. -
Re: Will the precious metals nosedive affect numismatic coins?
<< <i>Will a great fall in gold and silver prices take people out of the market, hense causing all coins to drop including the 1916-D dime..... >> I think the people who enter the market due to a rise in metals and leave due to a fall in metals typically do not get entrenched enough and stay around long enough to have a… -
Re: Dilemma - when is it Ok to buy a 'problem' coin?
You did well. Some coins I would never buy. These are coins with something chemical on their surfaces. Carbon spots, ugly toning, corrosion all fall into that category. (I'd have put in verdigress but I don't know how to spell it.) Some coins I prefer not to buy because I think they'll be difficult to resell. Mechanically… -
Re: Do we agree that we're headed for inflation and not deflation?
<< <i> << <i>I will let cohodk field the deflation portion of this program >> I've stated for the last 2 years that deflation was more likely as there is too much global debt. Been right so far. Inflation will come when demand for debt exceeds debt destruction. I see the possibility of another major currency becoming very… -
2023 Topps Disney Chrome 100 - Card identification Help

Re: The LordM "No Tools" slab crackout technique. Simple. Primitive. Effective. Safe.
Plenty of housecats, too. They just didn't make it into the scene. Yes, fall-through is something to watch out for- I had it happen once. But mostly the porch board gaps I use are just wide enough to accomodate the slab, and no wider. And since you're pushing it sideways rather than down, it will usually not fall through… -
Re: What are the most reliable signs that the coin market is about to crash?
End of the commodities cycle and return to equities: gold and silver in particular (as well as other PMs) break longer term trends and fall. This lead to the end of the 1980 coin market. The gold price fall preceded the fall in coin prices by about 1-2 months. Any signs of a recession also tells the upcoming end of the… -
Re: Do you think $30 and below silver is gone forever?
I believe $27 is the low. My reason is this. At the current price of Gold, if the GSR was at 55, then the current price of Silver would be $27.00. If there is a major economic slowdown, the 'industrial' equation of silver's strength will greatly diminish, while gold will stay strong (think Fall 2008). That is, the GSR will… -
Re: Wild the best NHL team? LOL
Golly. Gone missing like every single sports team in Minnesota, like well, in all of human history. 1 single championship amongst 4 major professional teams and decades and decades of failure and mediocrity. And then there are the fall guys of the Big Ten, what are they named? The Go-phers? More like the lose it all of the… -
Re: GreatCollections scraped off my CMQ sticker
Then what is the buyer's premium for? Purportedly the BP is to compensate the auction firm for services provided. If that's true, then they should not charge a BP because they are doing nothing for the buyer. They absolutely have duties to buyers after the hammer falls and a contract is established. Before the hammer falls…
