I thought there would be an advantage to owning 40% silver Kennedy half dollars. If the price of silver were to fall to $3.38 per oz, a 40%...
This is a little off topic, however I must say that I can't really complain about my 40% Kennedy halves. A few years back, I went to my local...
I tried to sell several 40% silver Kennedy halves to local dealers, but no one wanted to pay for their actual silver content (0.1479 oz). I was...
Thanks for your advice. I was always under the impression that buying 1/10 oz of gold was a bad option - maybe when comparing it to 1 oz gold....
I revised my calculations using random year pricing. As Jason pointed out, gold is the better deal. Damn, I was hoping that silver would be a...
@jason, I am glad you brought that to my attention. I used the values for 2017 Maples to be consistent. I didn't realize that a 2017 Maple will...
I did some calculations comparing the premium over spot versus the premium over the buy back price and found some interesting results. The fact...
I know this is an old thread, but thank you DrHenley for posting photos of world coins featuring a portrait of QEII. I was about to begin a post...

I thank you all for your replies. I think that for investment purposes, paying the lowest premium is one of the most important factors. Based on...
I have been following platinum, palladium, and rhodium for some time now. Not as an investor, but as a chemist. I recall ordering rhodium to use...
The Krugerrand is a classic, and, now that it's available in silver, I am tempted to buy one. However, if the silver Krugerrand is going to be...
Well, I definitely am not going to pay the current premium on the Rwandan Hippo. Please check my math, but I believe it is selling at a 30%...
Recently, I switched my focus from coin collecting to buying silver bullion - not collecting bullion - more of an investment approach. I like...
Just curious. The 2017 silver Krugerrand was minted for the 50th anniversary of the gold Krugerrand. Is this a onetime deal? Or will the silver...
When I was in high school (many decades ago) and started buying silver, I preferred the Engelhard bars over the rounds because the serial numbers...
I have been considering buying 10 oz silver bars. I like the idea that bars from Sunshine and the Royal Canadian Mint have security features....
As a specific case, I chose this well-worn liberty nickel. With a mint state coin, detection may be easier. However, it seems that it would be...
35,787,329 graded as of 4/22. I know very little about how the actual "grading process" is conducted, especially considering almost 36 million...
I was about to post this very same thread as odinsruleq8 did, so I thought it would be a good time to jump in. Although I have been collecting...
