Hi this is favorite month of the year. Year is almost over so I could reflect the current year and get to start thinking about upcoming year. Here are few questions for you:1) What was your best numismatic purchases for this year?2) What are your numismatic goals for next year?Mine was being able to purchase Dansco 7070 album so I could start the US Type Set. I look forward to working on getting my Peace silver dollar collection going next year.
How does everyone store their coins?I've been storing coins in the simple storage boxes with 2X2. However, I did order few of the wooden display boxes for storage as well. Coins are enclosed in the snap top and placed. This method of storage looks good.
What are your favorite bullion coins minted currently ? Why?My favorite bullion coins are:1) Australian Lunar Series2) Chinese Panda Series3) Somalia Elephant SeriesAlso, I'm anxiously waiting to see the latest Canadian Nomadic Own series in person. It's 1oz silver coin with Rhodium coated coin.It's a interesting concept. Royal Canadian still had them on sale on their website and it was cheaper than any other US dealers.
Last few years, I'm noticing a lot of counterfeit coins being sold in Ebay and other places. How are you protecting yourself from the counterfeit coins ?
Since we are nearing Christmas, here is the question of the day.What coins are on your wish list ? Why?My wish list would include:Complete set of Silver dollars from 1794 to 1935 including 1804 Silver dollar. Always liked big shiny silver dollars that could lit the room. Unfortunately, most of these silver dollars are way out of reach for me. But I could always wish...Merry Christmas to everyone !
As coin collector, we have access to multiple coin price guides - coin world, NGC, PCGS, Numismedia, Red Book, etc.A lot of these price guides seems to be on high $$ side (from dealers price guide like Greysheet/Blue Sheet). Questions: 1) When you purchase coins which price guides do you use? Are there reason(s) for using this particular price guide ?2) Do you pay certain % of the price guide for coin purchase?
