Re: gold stuck in a trading range
the risk you are talking about, in technical talk, is called "gapping up." gapping up means gold would jump from, say 950 to 1050 in one day. while that can happen, the jump to 1050 if it holds would be the signal to invest in gold again. the risk that gold can jump overnight from 950 to 1150 to 1250 is slim. and those of… -
Re: 1811 Bust Halves - The latest in a great series of informative threads on Capped Bust Halves --- Pos
The 1811 O-105 and O-105a have already been presented on this Forum Here is another example of the O-105 die MARRIAGE, but it is an Intermediate Die State. First, the O-105 DM is one of the easiest to attribute with the upper crossbar extending boldly into the right wing about 2 mm. This is marked with a YELLOW ARROW on my… -

NY Show Purchases/Trade Roundup with Images

Thought I would post as a follow up to some of the item specific posts and share all additions to the core collection in the past few weeks. What you are not seeing is the weight shed in multiple lower grade/common pieces which were sold/traded towards these. This show and related auctions was a turning point for the… -
Re: Gold just climbed the cliff!! Ask $887 12/28/08
If gold reaches 1000 and passes 1050... it is truly a bullish sign would you not agree? It would then seem to have the potential to reach new highs once again. Like that often mentioned 1200 mark and from there... who knows what would happen? It's all about managing Risk/Reward. Waiting for $1050 before figuring out that… -

Re: ***Bust Coins for the Decade***....Mega Bust Thread!!!

Hey zap, The 1818 O-105a is a neat variety. The obverse for the O-105 was first used to strike the 1818 O-106, the O-105 was actually struck after the O-106. If you look at the O-106 you can see that the stars are not showing the really crazy shortened points so the die was heavily lapped between the 2 uses. The O-105 and… -
Re: ***AUGUST 2010 Gold and Silver Stocks/Options/Futures trading thread***
I think the dollar is also going substantially lower over the next few years as well. Just hard to figure which comes first...higher or lower. Yeah, I've seen the P&F chart pointing lower for some time. But not all P&F charts play out either. Just like not all H&S play out either. Gold could indeed tack on a C leg to this… -

Re: Yet Another Baltimore report!
<< <i>Here's a pic of the old Nickel album page. It has slides just like a Dansco. Some of the guys at lunch said it might be Wayte Raymond (?) - They tone coins well and the empty page would sell on ebay. The back says "No. 1458 Made in U.S.A. Trade Mark MEGHRIG". Anyone have experience with these? Pardon the sucky pic. I…
