VAMWorld 2.0

:popcorn: So here we set at last quarter of 2024, of which has again provided wild volatility in stocks & commodities. Trading involves usage of huge dollar leverage which makes millionaires & conversly huge looses if in wrong market direction. For example: Crude oil 2023 had a range of about $30 pe...

:popcorn: Unbelievable detailed work by JR & others on this one ! I of course have no clue, as im not a details kinda guy. Sure glad others dwell on details to provide member answers to their questions. I have a hard enough time just sorting my large collection, and hired 2 gals for 6 mo to help thi...

:popcorn: I remember this event in History: Nov 22, 1964 Are you old enough to remember this sad day in America? John F Kennedy assinated in Dallas, Tx Youngest U S president to date Prevented neucular war Advocated integration legislation & more Active Pres during vietnam war/action Womanizer LOL R...

:popcorn: Reminising today, my 68 Birthday, of varied Morgan dollar stories i experienced in past decades. Decades- Damm-LOL So heres a wierd story; In 1973 i graduated high school, owned 600 cattle, 300 holstein steers & 300 holstein heifers of which i was pasturing on leased irrigated grass, worki...

:popcorn: :popcorn: I personally think 8-12 weeks waiting for a lousy TPG service to slab overgraded coins like in Segs case is totally un acceptable or worse What idiots- Who cares- Never pay them for inferior grading. Cac is my clear choice & then only after negociation on fees. Yes im very hard o...

Thanks JB: I see CAC fees start at $22 Not terrible &
my bet is on their success. Watch out
competition.

:popcorn: Wow- Looking at the various TPG services fees, i see that $15 is pretty standard for Morgans with standard turn around Economy. Segs shows terrible turn around of 8-12 weeks. A day in hell that i would pay $15 for ICG/SEGS 2nd rate graders that coins bring huge discounts, mostly to tried &...

:popcorn: Between your consignments (2) & mine Dec 3rd, a nice pile of vams for every members pick. Funny how many vams we acquire because of buying habits etc. I have yet to see any of you set guys actually sell complete sets, let lone for profit. Would love to hear of a good outcome from PCGS/etc ...

PM SENT

:popcorn: Your E BAY prices on Morgans is quite healthy Russ, & i wish you great success. Rainbo's etc look to be big money makers if they end up selling. Hope your shop is doing well as it seemed to me you opened it at a terrible time, as Numismatics is tough but the junk gold etc pay handsomely to...

:popcorn: Thanks ICEMAN/JOHN for the kind words response. Trading is not for everyone and i realize most of my posts therof go on deaf ears, mostly because non traders have no clue abut this largest business worldwide. Also the general public tends to be to lazy to take the time to even read a few s...

:popcorn: For a retired trader/business man/coin collector i keep myself active mentally by still trading a bit. Since im leary of coins & premiums therof i find myself loving to trade futures both for challenges and liquidity of which coins seem to lack currently. Real Estate investing provided lon...

:popcorn: Bought over 6 figures in physical platinum & some futures when mkt tested $850. Now mkt jumped past $900 and looks to run a bit. $1,000 is now overhead resistance. Gold keeps trying to keep $2000 + but fails each time, so time will tell. My stop loss orders are in on platimum, risking only...

The 43 is special to me because i have 2 graded 64dmpl
Been collecting them for yrs now!!

I think you guys are talking UFO language as i dont
even have a clue what a ASE is. LOL

:popcorn: Metals catching negative issues. Mkts went higher last week or so and tested resistance levels or above as gold surged past $2000 only to once again be hammered by profit taking, creating a negative basis both fundamental and technically. Same old story, different day, with selling increas...

:popcorn: Answer to: Options25 aka Jim Guess i didnt think my for sale post out clearly ! So if i sold say a PCGS 64 common that books around $108 for $54 - I would buy all as well- Not happening as i really meant SSDC listed coins which have premiums Sorry to all that thought they may get something...

Whether friend or foe you sure do great pic's
S F Mint was sure special = SF & CC were pretty
special with all the errors/etc
thanks for posting this one!

:popcorn: Unfortunate/Almost Criminal how TPG compnies ie; PCGS/NGC cater to their large well known clients/ submitters with respect to grades provided. Giving say a ms70 on a modern while 68/9 to other less known clients. This is in part why i dont care for the TPG & The Good Ol Boys Syndrome. Just...

IMHO= Any of this modern day mint stuff is simply
a marketing ploy to take your money, never to
return to Daddy ! I have learned to ignore all
this crap and stay with tried & true old coinage
