Re: Coin shops in this area are robbing people blind
<< <i>The unfortunate reality is that if these people avoid dealers all together, they still run the risk of being burned by ebay. Finding someone like jdimmick or rkfish who do their best to offer a fair purchase price is likely best for someone who doesn't know anything about coins. And IMO to try and bash them for… -
Re: What defines a "Market Maker"
Can happen in coins or stocks or anything that is bought and sold. An entity buys up a lot of one thing on the sly and on the cheap. Then when they think they have enough to make a bundle they create an artificial hyping of the coin. Maybe a news item or some such where the word gets out to the collectors that this is a… -
Re: Speculation on the 2026 unc. mint set.....
Perhaps it is simply typical government incompetence. The US Mint did not make any money last year according to the recently released annual report. Naturally, nobody mentioned all the unpopular stuff that they were still sitting on years after making it for collectors and figuring out where they went wrong.… -

Re: Post Mint Damaged Large Cent- how was this done?
Here's my WAG. Somebody made a false die by impressing the reverse of a Half Cent into a piece of metal. THey then sandwiched the large cent between the the false die and the reverse of the actual Half Cent. TD -
Re: GOLD AND SILVER, ECONOMIC NEWS, COINS, 2009 forward
Yeah, like housing foreclosures rising and expected to peak in 2011 yet used home sales are rising quickly, if you listen to the media. What, so someone is buying all the foreclosures...maybe the Chinese or someone. As far as I've read when the banks take over a property (ie foreclose) they become the owner and a sale… -
