Good advice. I would go so far as to say that new silver buyers should completely avoid Ebay and use one of the legitimate online dealers. Ebay...
I think a lot of cull morgans [and junk silver in general] were melted during the price rise in 1980. I would be surprised if a large percentage...
When my wife and kids ask me what I want for any occasion, I always tell them an ASE or maple leaf, and advise them to just go to the local coin...
AU is an excellent grade to collect, but I never see them close to spot. :(

I wish MRBRKLYN was here for this. :devil:

Thanks for proving my point. My exact quote was "I think it is interesting not because they are necessarily correct, but because any large move...

The gold bull market will end as a textbook example of the greater fool theory. But not yet. I agree that bonds are overpriced and should be...
