- Since silver is different at $113 compared to $64 I am starting a new thread.
The last thread we saw silver go from $64 to $117 in about 2 months. Silver is up about 60% YTD and it is only the 28th day of the year.
Do you feel different at $113? What are your pros and cons?
I have silver so naturally I am happy to see the run, but I also have a family and worry that the dollar depreciation is not good and that does not seem to be addressed as much.
I have been selling into the strength in a manner where the silver I have is paid for. That is just insane to think about.Since silver is different at $113 compared to $64 I am starting a new thread.

But I will keep adding to my stack a little when the price is high, a little more when the price drops.
Keep calm and keep stacking.

- I have a 1970 S Lincoln cent that I think is an S/S but I still don’t think I can decide. It has extra metal where it should, but I still feel like I need an opinion. The brighter, higher grade cow is ngc’s example and the other is mine. Ngc designated the variety “VP-002”. If I have more people saying that it is the variety I will likely send it off to be graded, but I don’t want to send it off without more opinions than my own.1 Comments 0 Shares 1747 Views

- I recently inherited somewhat of a large (to me) coin collection. And am trying to find the best way to get it appraised. I live in a pretty rural area and not any coin shops close by. Any recommendations on online appraisal websites or reputable places to send a collection would be appreciated!8 Comments 0 Shares 3175 ViewsCommenting is disabled.
- Is your plan to hold it or sell it? It's a wonderful investment to hold it because they generally go up in value with inflation and/or market demand. Pretty much every person you talk to here can tell you about the joy they get from just going thru a collection like that and learning about the difference between the coins, their individual values, their history, grading, mint marks, etc, etc. so much to learn but super fun doing it if you like that kind of stuff.
If your plan is to sell, it may be worth it to check with the makers of this site and list at auction (Great Collections). They can help get the coins graded and/or slabbed that are worth it and the rest just sell yourself over time. I can see already you have multiple coins worth over $1k that would do extremely well at auction in today's market. Like JFVanBurenIII said you have some pretty special coins here.

- Do not shoot pictures through your sleeves of the book inserts. Make a list paper, or excel, and with the dates. "Key" dates are the most important, overall condition as well. If coins are not your thing, condition is tough. You have some gold, and some currency... nice collection.Do not shoot pictures through your sleeves of the book inserts.

- The majority of your coins value lies in the melt value. But with precious metals prices where they are, that's substantial. With silver at over $100 per ounce, the 90% silver coins are worth 70+ times face value, which you might receive 55 to 60 times face value. The gold coins have a melt value of: $2.50 - $600, $5.00 - $1200, $10.00 - $2400, which is not what you'd receive if you wanted to sell. The one coin I see with numismatic value over the melt value is your 1872-S liberty seated dollar. Good luck!The majority of your coins value lies in the melt value.

A digital scale, digital calipers, nitrile gloves, a 10x loupe, a small tray with a wood or cork surface to handle coins over, a ledger for coin info as you discover it, a flat stapler. Save numismatic reference websites as the knowledge and images are invaluable. Good luck. Peace Roy[ljsaueressig2] Welcome.

- I’ve said for years I’d stop buying at $75 and hold until $150 with an expected significant pull back at some point this year. But revising my est from the beginning of December of $75 in of 25’ and $150 at end of 26’. I’m still buying BELOW spot on 1000 ounce bars. But I can’t help but feel $250 by end of this year. At some point this year I’ll chicken out and pull my investment and play with house money only. If it effects my Carson City people should be concerned cause I might even get up in a soap box BETCH loudly. I realize 95% (just opinion) is affected or effective; anyways I think the ASE seem way over priced but those who fear today will have regrets a a very short time. AI, EV’s or China isn’t the play or call here. It will soon be all about infrastructure, Bandwidth etc. Texas alone already uses 30% of current power. So it’s not the materials, the faster chips but open AI chips or open weight and how to meet the power demand.

- jalexisfamilia23 Welcome to the MyCollect family, by the way! Looks like these guys covered it. It's got a lot of problems that any experienced collector can see immediately.
The fact is, the US Mint, even in the early days, minted good quality coins. The quality of the strike on your coin (possibly not struck but cast) is extremely poor. We can all see, based on experience and other examples of what this coin is trying to be, that it's a counterfeit meant to fool people without experience.
This is the greatest hobby in the world because even when you dump your paycheck into your collection, you're possibly richer than before you started. Keep coming back with some other examplea and try to only buy from dealers that have a good reputation and fair prices.
We all want to see you succeed so please don't be disappointed in this coin. We've all acquired fakes before but we move on and get back to it.

- Here is my Pattern 1792 25c J-12 PCGS MS-63 BN (CAC Green). This coin is the single finest known with no coins graded higher. The coin is pedigreed to Lorin G. Parmelee and Virgil M. Brand.
This coin is #25 in my set "Elite's 100 Greatest U.S. Coins" (100 Greatest U.S. Coins).
P. Scott Rubin:
The 1792 Quarter Dollar struck in copper (Judd-12) is represented today by only two specimens. One is currently in the Smithsonian collection the other is in a privately owned Eastern United States collection. Both coins are estimated by PCGS to be in MS-64 Brown condition.
This issue is also known stuck in white metal. These were struck as patterns and these quarter issues are unique for the 1792 issues, in that so many stages of the preparation of the coins are known. The first stage is unique uniface white metal strikes of the obverse and reverse dies. Second are white metal strikes (two known) without the use of a collar. The third stage are white metal specimens (two known) struck with a collar and lastly the copper specimens (two known) struck with a collar. No specimens are known in silver which would have been the metal for a circulating quarter and it was not until 1796 when a regular issue coin of this denomination was issued.
This coin was designed and engraved by Joseph Wright, George Washington’s choice for the position of 1st Chief Engraver of the Mint, however he died in 1793 before the appoint was approved. The person whose image is represented as Miss. Liberty on the obverse of this coin is believed to be Joseph Wright’s wife. The hair style and profile of this wife match her image from Joseph Wright’s last painted family portrait done the year of his death.
Neither of the two known 1792 Quarter Dollars struck in copper have sold publicly in recent history and with only one in private hands, when and if it is sold this specimen should sell well into the seven figure price range

This issue is also known stuck in white metal. These were struck as patterns and these quarter issues are unique for the 1792 issues, in that so many stages of the preparation of the coins are known. The first stage is unique uniface white metal strikes of the obverse and reverse dies. Second are white metal strikes (two known) without the use of a collar. The third stage are white metal specimens (two known) struck with a collar and lastly the copper specimens (two known) struck with a collar. No specimens are known in silver which would have been the metal for a circulating quarter and it was not until 1796 when a regular issue coin of this denomination was issued. This coin was designed and engraved by Joseph Wright, George Washington’s choice for the position of 1st Chief Engraver of the Mint, however he died in 1793 before the appoint was approved. The person whose image is represented as Miss. Liberty on the obverse of this coin is believed to be Joseph Wright’s wife. The hair style and profile of this wife match her image from Joseph Wright’s last painted family portrait done the year of his death. Neither of the two known 1792 Quarter Dollars struck in copper have sold publicly in recent history and with only one in private hands, when and if it is sold this specimen should sell well into the seven figure price range 1792 25C Wright Pattern PCGS SP 63 BN CAC (Pop 1/0) • • • #coins #rarecoins #pcgs #pcgscoin #greatcollections #greatphoto #100g #100greatest #elitecollection10 Comments 0 Shares 8777 ViewsCommenting is disabled.- excited to see what it goes for on GCexcited to see what it goes for on GC
