Re: Record high spot prices and extant populations of Coins
The new phenomenon that didn't happen in 1980 or 2011-12 is that modest condition rarities for both Saints/gold coins and Morgans/silver coins are seeing premiums fade bigtime. In both the earlier periods, you had a sharp spike and big fall. We've had the spike (silver) and sustained run (gold) -- but it remains to be seen… -
The Crystal Ball: Numismatic Scrapbook, Jan 1965
"Our advertisers peer into the furture - here are their predictions": "The unpopular series will become more important especially the Bust and Liberty Seated series. We anticipate reduced interest in speculative items and an upswing in gold coins." - Stack's "Well, it finally happened, the bubble has burst, the teletype,… -
Re: Fair Market Purchase Price For A 2000-P Sacagawea Cheerios Dollar ANACS MS63?
The listing I linked ended July 4th, so it would still fall under “not listed anywhere” for sale. On the other hand, it didn’t appear to be listed by a “non-professional collector”, so I won’t try to make a case for that qualification.😉 Regardless, I thought it might be helpful to show the listing, as there can’t be too… -
Re: Buy/Sell/or Hold at $4k/$50?
The eventual prices for gold/silver will probably be $5K-$10K / $100-$300 over the next 1-6 years....or even higher for gold depending on how crazy the "reset" becomes. There may be a considerable correction coming this year or by mid-next year. But, Armstrong doesn't have the economic confidence cycle peaking until August… -
Re: Gold/silver strength vs currency weakness
While a "weak" dollar has been a supportive factor for rising gold and PM prices...it is NOT a direct 1-to-1 relationship. Gold can rise with a falling dollar based on supply and demand factors. Anybody convinced the dollar is going to hell -- I am NOT one of them -- can buy much better hedges than gold. We have had… -

Grading question: Uncirculated coins without strike/color designations
Could a BN coin with a hammered strike and virtually no blemishes, but lacking in luster, ever make MS69? What about a Mercury dime with booming luster and virtually no blemishes, but which falls short of full bands? (I know one has, but it was extremely close to FB) A BN coin can only have so much luster, and a coin… -
Really Bad Ali 1807 counterfeit half dollar using a PCGS cert
I wrote a Coin Week article on this family I nicknamed the “1833 type counterfeits”. This new “gem” is an 1807 dated fake of the family and a counterfeit “PCGS” slab and cert. The PCGS on-line cert had a TruView image and a little digging found the genuine certified one in a Registry set with an image in the holder.… -
Re: Russia Buying Silver!!!
How did I disparage silver? By stating that it had woefully underperformed other assets? That's just the dang truth bro. The dang truth. Now is it finally playing catch-up? Maybe. Won't that be a wonderful thing? An end to a decade plus of misery and unkept promises and false insurance. Yay...let's be happy. But we don't… -
spree to spurs?(wouldn't do any good in june vs. the lakers ;), baker to boston a done deal?, all 29
if sonics dont give shard a deal close to the "max", rashard will just take on houston for 3 yr, 4.5 mill. It isn't clear what the Sonics meant when they said that re-signing Rashard Lewis was their number one priority. They have been trying to move Vin Baker in order to clear some cap space, but no one wants to take on…
