Idaho Falls Coin Show report.
This a little delayed but FWIW. The show was Mar 20 & 21. The crowd was lined up at the door prior to 10 am opening. It was non-stop for 6 hours. No time for a lunch break. Finally got a couple of hours to restock and have a snack then there was another rush that lasted for another two hours. Died down at 6 till it closed… -
Re: Yet another mankiller pic post?
. ya. the die simply had too much pressure, tilted, used too much etc. you can kinda narrow it down a bit with some experience, even on modern dies. if there isn't much die erosion, obvious metal flow lines etc, usually the die started falling apart too soon and could be caused by a few different things. the fact this one… -
Re: $65 to $80 is the new baseline for silver. What say you?
I think its 60-85. I just price it in my head as the 50 day moving average of SLV, the etf, SIVR is physical silver which is actually higher than spot. Silver wants to go up based on industrial demand and static supply. If bond interest rates rise, bonds end up being more desirable as a hedge, so gold and silver go down,… -
Re: A giveaway in honor of Frank and my 4000th post (The winner is RickMilauskas)
Back in 1992 while in Basic Training we were fortunate enough to have this guy PVT Jones in our Platoon. He was the one that helped everyone, listened to all our problems and just basically made the training easier.

Re: Pictures of 68-D Jefferson in 64FS POP 1 and my new 68-P MS67RD Lincoln
Oreville - It is an understatement that I got lucky on both coins and you can add the MS67 68-D Ken half and the 65FS 68-S to the list.

Re: Are dealers and collectors slaves to APRs
<< <i> << <i>As the coin market shrinks the lower quality pieces will drop in value sharply while only the really choice material retains its value or increases in value.

Re: Local dealer won't let me examine coin before I buy :(
Busthalfcrazy, just in case you are being earnest, here's an overview: if you fall in love with a woman, do you pull out a magnifying glass to better examine her beauty??? Here is an overview: many graders who earn their living that way are near-sighted and can see a coin close-up, the equivalent of a 3 to 5X loupe for the… -
Re: A Thread for Hockey Collectors
Nice job on the set so far coach. I don't know how you set builders do it.. It would drive me crazy finding 100+ nice cards to complete a presentable set. To further elaborate.. They were in an argument over money owed.. and then the argument carried over into who will pay the bar tab.. they took a cab back home together…
