You were the one who posed the scenario about what my wife and mother(-in-law) would do with their silver jewelry/silver heirlooms, and I told you...
My wife has a special attachment to only one piece of jewelry, and she has no particular interest in any of the silver jewelry I've given her. If...
I don't think they're particularly valuable. Here in Japan, you can go to a coin show and buy mixed bags of cash coins that include multiples of...
I've been hearing that "silver demand exceeds mine production" for at least the last 30 years. But one thing that we must bear in mind is that...
It might have something to do with residue from the plastic getting on the coins. When I was buying '60s proof sets back in the '80s, I was told...
In the Colonies? In 1792, the USA was officially an independent country :)
You'd be surprised at how low some of those '60s proofs will grade. Like Rodney Dangerfield, it seems like they don't get any respect.
Well, there were 40% silver Eisenhower dollars for a while... :)
It does seem to be like a dog-and-pony show, with all of us as a literally captive audience. But how long can a country continue to run deficits...
Considering that mine production of silver in 2010 alone was 735.9 million ounces, I would say that there is a lot more than 500 million to 1...
It might not take up much space, but you'd need a forklift to carry a block of silver worth $1 million, since it would weigh approximately 1000...
I mentioned '80s because I have a few 1977, 78 proof Ike dollars that are not cameos, and my '78-S quarter is struggling to be a cameo.
Good question!
I've done that on a few occasions. Back in 1981, for example, I had to pay tuition, and the people in the Admin Building were only going to give...
If you only paid $2 for that lot, you got a deal, if the shipping wasn't too high. The two war nickels and the Ike dollar alone should be worth...
A lot of the older proofs, particularly '60s and earlier, don't have a lot of contrast between the fields and the devices. However, as you noted,...
Here's a coin that doesn't get much respect-- a circulated 3-cent nickel. But I still like them.
1805 Spain 2 escudos
It was the beginning of the end for this guy:
Oh, sure you could invest in gold before 1971. I don't know where you get this as a start-off year, but the official government price of $35/ounce...
