Re: Will the collecting of "classic" US coins decline in the next few decades?
<< <i>...nonetheless, I hope we're all wrong, and the bottom is about to fall out, and all the old coins will be dirt cheap!! Rex >> If "the bottom falls out" you'll have a catch 22 on your hands. Yes, the prices will fall and the coins will be cheaper. BUT, the current owners of the coins will not want to sell in such a… -
Re: Official PCGS Banknote Thread
Can someone explain to me why PCGS never did currency grading themselves....they farmed it out....then took it back....and where Legacy falls into that, too ? -
Re: Are the 11-5 Pittsburgh Pirates for real ?
Ignoring the fact that you artfully misunderstood what I said your claim is totally false. Here’s a few examples. Berrios. Twice Allen. Twice Bassit. Twice Here’s what I did. I looked at pitchers ordered by games started, descending. And I looked at the first 3. Any team that has a five man rotation is pretty likely to… -
ACG files suit against ANA
An interesting development today - ACG and the Hagers filed a Motion to Amend their Complaint. They are dismissing a number of the originally named Plaintiffs BUT they have added the American Numismatic Association as a Defendat in the Lawsuit. Although they have to get a court Order to amend their Complaint, it will in… -
Re: Do we agree that we're headed for inflation and not deflation?
<< <i> << <i>I will let cohodk field the deflation portion of this program >> I've stated for the last 2 years that deflation was more likely as there is too much global debt. Been right so far. Inflation will come when demand for debt exceeds debt destruction. I see the possibility of another major currency becoming very… -
Re: Dilemma - when is it Ok to buy a 'problem' coin?
You did well. Some coins I would never buy. These are coins with something chemical on their surfaces. Carbon spots, ugly toning, corrosion all fall into that category. (I'd have put in verdigress but I don't know how to spell it.) Some coins I prefer not to buy because I think they'll be difficult to resell. Mechanically… -
Re: Will the precious metals nosedive affect numismatic coins?
<< <i>Will a great fall in gold and silver prices take people out of the market, hense causing all coins to drop including the 1916-D dime..... >> I think the people who enter the market due to a rise in metals and leave due to a fall in metals typically do not get entrenched enough and stay around long enough to have a… -
Re: The LordM "No Tools" slab crackout technique. Simple. Primitive. Effective. Safe.
Plenty of housecats, too. They just didn't make it into the scene. Yes, fall-through is something to watch out for- I had it happen once. But mostly the porch board gaps I use are just wide enough to accomodate the slab, and no wider. And since you're pushing it sideways rather than down, it will usually not fall through… -
Re: Do you think $30 and below silver is gone forever?
I believe $27 is the low. My reason is this. At the current price of Gold, if the GSR was at 55, then the current price of Silver would be $27.00. If there is a major economic slowdown, the 'industrial' equation of silver's strength will greatly diminish, while gold will stay strong (think Fall 2008). That is, the GSR will… -
Re: What are the most reliable signs that the coin market is about to crash?
End of the commodities cycle and return to equities: gold and silver in particular (as well as other PMs) break longer term trends and fall. This lead to the end of the 1980 coin market. The gold price fall preceded the fall in coin prices by about 1-2 months. Any signs of a recession also tells the upcoming end of the…
