Re: Gonna try to sell a few coins to dealers at ANA. What should I expect from big dealers?
I'd have to say there has been no dealer who specializes in what I really want...and hasn't been for the past 23 years. Now that said, enough dealers run across one or two coins now and then that would interest me. Legend came across an entire collection 2 years ago. That happens only once a decade and you'd be lucky to… -
Re: Gold Closed at $395.00
1. Gpld is at a 10 year high. So what? So are 1893-s dollars and I don't see people bailing out of them. Stocks in general are still 80% on average on what they were at the peak in 2000. No bull market in the US (or probably for all time) has ever begun at valuations so high. So I guess we've invented a way to promote… -
Digs O' The Day™, 9/30/07: The House On Hanover Square
I went out detecting on Saturday the 29th, returning to Gascoigne Bluff on St. Simons Island, but the day's results weren't very exciting. Probably the only relic of the plantation era I found on the Bluff was a blob of lead which might have once been a musketball. That, a modern aluminum token, and about fourteen cents in… -

Re: I'm fairly sickened by many of you....
<< <i> << <i>Clearly all you collectors who buy cards "for the love of the hobby" really only care about what your cards are worth and nothing more. >> Lee, this isn't true.

THE PRE-SHOW AUCTIONS: A BRIEF SUMMARY
Of course, we are not even 1/3 of the way through the auctions, so keep that in mind in reading this comment. Also, I do not personally follow the pre-1865 coins all that closely, so nothing in here applies to those particular coins (other than to comment that I spoke with a strong buyer of those type coins attending the… -
Re: A Layman's way to think about cac and their business model
I have seen particular coins have their sticker removed because for one reason or another john no longer felt the coin was worth a premium. For example an 1882 50c in pcgs pr64 that is just run of the mill is worth $1050-$1200. The same coin with a cac sticker john will pay $1275-$1300 and sell for some number over that.… -

Re: MJ is asleep at the wheel: Philly Legend market report...
Our coin club had the job of doing registration for the public. Usually, we had 4 working, sometimes 6 (thursday) and then...three.... Never were there any crowds, never did anyone have to wait in a line to get their registration, which was just a little card asking name address and email. we glanced at your photo ID,… -
Chicago show observations Mr. Mint and more...
Well, I did the chicago show again this past weekend and here are my observations: MR. MINT: He had his dark tan and his usual booth set up front center. This time he had 8X10 high quality photos of his trademark smile and fist full of benjis. I didn't see a single person take one though. I stood around looking at the…
