Artificial scarcity in the form of mintage and gradings is (almost) unique to coins. The grading system is totally unique and totally backfired...
Exactly my pick if I was buying silver. Imo the lowest cost tangible 999 silver -buying, selling, storing costs.
Milk spots- one along the reverse left edge of the 1oz proof unicorn (2017) and another on the wing of the 2oz bu falcon (2019) [ATTACH]
Surely pirate/ships, dragons and birds have reached market saturation.
Others here have also recorded $200 underweight. Just with simple SG test when I calibrate with fine gold and silver and adjust for room temp a...
I agree $200 is probably the best in the 0.25oz region. Only caveat is early ones tend to weigh 9.96-9.97 and specific gravity testing suggests...
yep, was just about to write that xmas only predates political correctness by a few hundred years. how's the silver price going?
I've been buying and as of monday still buying sovs at average spot. If they were graded then most would range fine (=good for any other coin)....
For me it's proofs given their quality and numismatic history. Collecting uncirculated versions of circulating coins is crazy popular at the...
The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. 2019 actually reminds me a lot of the year 1999. That worries me somewhat...
Two coins- An uncirculated coin (mintmarked) that has the same design and year of a coin in circulation. e.g. 2012 $2 Remembrance, Canberra mark...
IMO get them slabbed. There's a shitty fake on the market and I suspect a better fake. Slab signals to potential buyers that this probably real...
Looks alright. Evokes memories of coin of a Marlin from the Cayman Is
The RM have so many great designs that look half finished to me. QBs look like cheap electro plated tokens. With a little bit of frosting they...
I'm thinking lunar 2020 might be DOA. Sales in proofs have dropped each year. The RAM's 2020 lunar coin is selling on Ebay at 33% discount from RRP.
Use google and calculator. Gold underperforms inflation by 1 to 1.5% per year depending on base currency. Real example- the "$200" coin which was...
Most of what my father collected for scarcity from the 60s to early 90s has reverted to spot prices. Even if you're good at picking numismatic...
Sorry didn't intend to be negative. Truly beautiful coins. I just figured the thread is more about pure investment than numi. PS. There's a 1kg...
7% pa in the last 8 years was a relatively poor investment. S1 and S2 mice were the only relatively good ones and that was frankly down to dumb luck.
On fleebay the flees sell the RAM lunar series at PM lunar series prices.
