I think those 20-Franc and other foreign coins are a great way to get gold at a reasonable premium, and you can end up with some interesting...
.9000 for the 20 Franc (and other coins of the Latin Monetary Union) and .9167 (22K) for the Soveriegn. I like them for the lower premiums,...
As stated before, the intrinsic value of a nickel has gone above five cents before. I have not seen any reduction in circulating nickels just from...

Fun memories from this thread. As a kid I bought an old poured 10 Oz silver bar for the princely sum of $50 using saved up allowance and lawn...
stevereecy - I know that #100000000 gets pulled because the numbering machine rolls over to #00000000. It is replaced with a star note. I read of...
