I realize I'm quoting a post from way back in 2011 but this is the first time I've seen the thread and had to respond to this: Well put, and a...
Also well put. Yeah, I think things get muddled when people allow PM investing and coin collecting to overlap. No reason a person can't pursue...

I'm not a IHC guy so I don't know if the price is right, but otherwise they look OK. Did you bid on them? If so, did you win?
I was coming at this from the opposite direction. I can't think of many better ways to instill conservative, pay-as-you-go personal finance...

Solid XF in my less-than-expert opinion. Nice coin. Keep it!
