:popcorn: :popcorn: IMHO The gold/yellow holders do not help coin pop & show off coin. I love the Blue holders and reholder small wht Anacs into them. Anacs needs to seriously look into making a color change and maybe a holder that you can see reeds better. Maybe JR can voice some of our opinions to...

:popcorn: John; Quite a few secondary metals like Aluminum,Nickel & a few high dollar ones like titanium, are all experiencing supply shortages with prices ballistic. So with that said, heres a non typical market occurance. Crude Oil= Wed drops 11% or $16.00 barrel. Thats $16,000 per contract on the...

:popcorn: Boy what a total mess, as commodity mkts are experiencing unprecidented highs & natrually Volatility. The big boys; ie: Super funds-Central Banks Insurance Conglomerates are taking advantage of these wide swing markets/volatility, to enter and exit mkts speculating as always, buying then e...

:popcorn: So all inclusive i am hooked on clashing, die cracks, & major polish lines like on many mirrored surface 1878 S dandies. Polish lines help us pick out superior quality examples fast withot having to look deeper. All three (3) above combined make for easier determination of superior quality...

:popcorn: Every year i track my equity from yearly auction pickins. I try and use conservative values that a coin will actually sell for, not some retail or pie in sky unrealistic value. I take this serious like vammer members here love their picks and rarity acquisitions. This is the fun part of Nu...

:popcorn: Over the yrs i have develop my own opinions how vams went ballistic for good or bad I did not mean to infer anything negative whatsoever about Lloyd. Sorry if my writing portrayed that. I do stay with my opinions that vams got over hyped various ways, especially a fews marketing/buying/sel...

:popcorn: A very few members/collectors achieve such collections. Each tends to create their own pocket niche or niches within vamming etc A select handful or 2 have enough time or money to propel to these collection heights as Larry has achieved. The determination and comittment is astounding. The ...

:popcorn: My take; I always like to Anacs slab better date lower grade & detail Morgans, because you then know grade/ problems etc If you hate the outcome, simply break em out to raw again At least still assigns a details grade to a coin so you get some sense of numerical scale & can research real v...

:popcorn: fantastic- I had no clue like many other neat vams This is the neat part= When you think you know something about various vams/think again as only a total sponge could keep up,which really makes vamming super special

:popcorn: The bad news; $600 annual sales or more will receive a 1099 or equal which sets up sales reporting profits/loss Consider this; States with no sales tax like oregon, have a huge advantage over states sellers that have to charge the going tax rate. A $1000 coin sale at say 8% sale tax is $80...

:popcorn: So now Fleabay will document sales of $600 & over & send out statement therof like 1099 ? So the poor seller gets hit with e bay/pay pal fees plus Tax consequences. Be aware and check your alternatives and actual issues before selling lots of dollars of coins Im not real up on all this but...
