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: 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. I am sure the batch of Mint sets I purchased were the first stikes for the mint sets from brand new dies, hence the amazing coins I have from the collection. Anyone dedicated enough to buy… -
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.

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..

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: Does it really matter what the PCGS pop report says about finest known modern Crap ?
<< <i>There's a market out there of buyers who have more faith then brains. If they never find out the truth they'll stick around a little longer.
