Re: 1858 $10: a classic rarity of US gold
While this is, indeed, a scarce and desirable coin, it's also a true "specialist's coin", in that it's a tough coin to sell. I saw one at at the White Plains, NY coin show a couple of years or so ago. The dealer, who had a case full of pricy material, wasn't too happy to have it. He had purchased it on his own initiative… -
Re: Is this fuzzy thinking?
There is a lot of risk, and a lot of difference between a nice MS65, and a marginal one. A nice one might sell for double what a marginal coin at true auction, even if the coins are in the same company's holder. ANACS is definitely a step lower on expensive coins that are over $500 in value, and many will move at a… -
Re: Teletrade still is up and running
I'm confused by all the confusion here about what is going on. They had a Press Release back in July about this. There was a thread here discussing it. Subsequent to that, Spectrum said they would spin out AMark into a separate company and take SBG private. SBG would have all the Spanish lawsuit issues (fact) and potential… -

1st purchase of 2019...Chop marked Trade dollar
The past few years I have not bought many coins. I have continued to look almost daily, but can't find coins I want to buy at the prices I feel are fair. I was looking on EBay a few days ago and came across this 1875-S Chop marked Trade dollar for sale by the Executive Coin Company out of Ohio. I have bought from them… -
Re: Should ebay's policy be that they will only handle coins that are slabbed by reputable grading servi
considering that I could crap on a paper plate and sell it on Ebay (and it would probably sell), I doubt they've got an executive committee considering the removal of certified coins slabbed by companies deemed "unreputable" by the PCGS chat board. -
Re: Some things come in nice packages
From Wikipedia: Circle of Friends of the Medallion was formed by Charles DeKay, Robert Hewitt, Jr., and the French-American trio of Jules Edouard Roiné with brothers Felix and Henri Weil, all living in New York City.[1] De Kay, "a newspaperman and art lover" provided the contacts to form the Circle of Friends of the… -
Re: Stuff people have told me over the years...
"That coin looks cleaned," was a wake up call, when a veteran collector gave his opinion on a top tier slabbed Barber half. A short term later I heard the term "market acceptable" from a grading company executive. -
Re: U.S. MINT PHILADELPHIA - U.S.A.
Sorry @Weiss815, but I can't buy into the concept that these pieces were struck in the 1940s to assist in gold ownership. The U.S. Government was very hostile toward gold ownership by U.S. citizens until the ban was officially lifted in 1974. A U.S. citizen could not even own gold legally if it were stored in a foreign… -
