Re: OK, so I have a 1955 DDO NGC AU53BN and...
<< <i>If the obverse doesn't look like this... ...then it ain't the big kahuna. >> All of them look like this; it doesn't matter what number is printed in a catalogue. Supposedly, 20,000 were made from the same die, so there are no variants. Anything else that is wistfully called a "1955 Doubled Die" is an entirely… -
Re: What is the biggest loss a coin has had at auction?
<< <i>The 1870-S half dime sold for $425K and a few years later around $250K, if memory serves. >> That is basically correct, but the first price was not an auction. Rarcoa bought the 1870-S Half Dime from a local right here where I am sitting now, and Milas sold it to somebody with the agreement that the sale price would… -

Re: "Omega" counterfeit MCMVII - Summary Wanted
Wow, heated discussions and I wasn't involved. I have provided new info, maybe small, but new. By now you know that my father represented Kiriaken and Papdeeous. I am sure I spelt it wrong. I am sure I posted in the past about the equipment in the press shop. I can assure no melting took place in that building because it… -
Re: Help/advice needed from you knowlegable people, please
<< <i>Unclejoe...so what you and relayer and pharmer are saying, in a nutshell, is this: "Let him call Monex (or one of the like vultures) and give them the money". Basically, step back and watch him throw more money away than he has to. One question to all three of you...would YOU let a friend do that?????? And though… -
Re: 2000-P Sac Dollar Apple Jacks version
yeah, i wondered about that as well......a few weeks ago i saw this sitting on a dealers shelf and i noticed a few things first of all, who the heck has this coin slabbed?? i mean its a $5 coin, right? why would pay slabbing fees.....this caused me to think that maybe it was someone who what not that "hobby savvy" add to… -
Re: Poll: coin prices are down x% since last summer?
<< <i> Basically, what I am trying so say is: The buyer paid a premium price, and either did not get a premium quality coin in the first place, or quality standards have tightened and their coin no longer makes the cut. I'm not sure what there is to disagree with. If the buyer paid too much, they are out the money. If the… -
Re: NGC gets tonecoined
Yall want some logic huh? I posted this coin on the other board before multiple threads popped up on both boards. I knew there are some tough & knowlegeable commem collectors on the other board. So I post over there <<<Not only is the blue & red color strange but the pattern is too. I try to think imagine the step by step… -
Re: -CLOSED-
But this is exactly the way markets work. For example, a farmer produces 10,000 gallons of milk and can use 500 at most. So he has 9500 gallons that are worth, say, $2 for him to sell (less he might prefer to dump rather than transport). Now we have a young mother who needs milk for her baby. She's willing to pay $25 for a… -
Re: Lets make a submission tracker thread for January Special
