LDH Coins & Memorabilia

Thank You so much for the education !!!

Yes you are correct, my question had ambiguity. I really was asking about UNC Silver Eagles vs all others in terms of attraction, value etc. Thanx for input

What is the attraction of DCAM and Ultra Cameo coins in terms of price, value, and grade or is it just eye appeal and/ or personal preference ?

PS: I will keep my early years DCAM though

Many thanks to all for the input. I started collecting ASE's as my first coins but I should have bailed out a few years ago. It is like musical chairs dealing with the mint LOL. I have some bullion bars but unfortunaly got into ASE's. I done chasing the yearly "ghost" ! I will go back to silver bars instead of ASE's. Thanx again !

Hello coin guru's, hope all are doing well I'm little disappointed in the bullion market and thinking about dumping some ASE's to get other stuff. What are your thoughts about bullion prices and DCAM prices ? Does older DCAM years hold value better ? Thanx for your input

Thank all for response. This friend is over 80 and has been collecting for 50 years but obvious his eyes aren't as good as they use to be but the issue is he says all coins that old would be dipped which is different from cleaning. I'm confused - I feel that dipped coins will be detected by TPG's ?? He's a good guy but I brought a 1928 Peace a couple years ago from him that he thought was a 62 but came back AU - cleaned. Lost 75-100 bucks after resale LOL

My friend sent me the coin below and I was wondering if picture is good enough to if it was cleaned (I don't want to buy coin but we disagree on dipping and cleaning LOL) ? If not I will try to get better pictures. Thanx

Great feedback - thanx

I agree, buyers are may be migrating from Ebay (some possibly) and GC and HA have a lot more action than a year ago which increases prices ; meanwhile they may feel the aura of auctions versus the craziness of ebay at times.

Thanx for input

Hello all, I was eyeing a 1952-D Carver on HA. It was a 66+ PCGS with CAC. I had done some research and BV 2600 and previous GC prices were between 1900 - 3200 for 2022 (in fact the 3200 was the Greg Bingham collection that I asked about in another thread because 6 months prior it sold as a 66) and HA previous sales were little older but in the same range. The coin sold for 4400 on HA. So the coins sold on HA and GC for 50% plus over BV within 2 weeks of each other. I haven't been actively looking at Ebay but since I lost both auctions due high prices, I found the coin for 1700 (same grade and can sticker) on Ebay. The only difference is all the other coins were PCGS and this was a NGC (which I perfer). Question: Do you think I was just in the right place at the right time (it apparently was on ebay since Nov) or does PCGS have a large undeserved premium price ; or maybe people don't use ebay and clientele is different on HA / GC. Thanx for input in advance PS: It seems there are more PCGS for sale than NGC for a lot of coins ? Thoughts

Well that upgrade paid off for the seller. The coin referenced sold for 1700 (125% increase) more than it did 6 months with the 1/2 grade upgrade

Thank you all for the great input Hopefully the pictures are viewable

I noticed the same coin sold in July 2022 being back up for auction again this month with a 1/2 grade higher but it has same certification number. My question is : "Is this unusual that a coin sold, graded with 1/2 higher grade is back on the market in 5 months and does upgrades retain certification number ? PS: Coin was regraded by the same TPG and retained its "CAC" sticker. Thanx for any input
