A lot of the people working at those Wall St. firms are highly paid, over-educated idiots, at least when it comes to PM. After all, it was only...
I like the idea of silver going to $11--$14 again. I'd like it even better, if the premiums came down on ASE's or 90%. I do wonder, how many...
I agree, the dealer the OP describes sounds greedy, & sleazy. Even if he has the right to do it, which he does. And I've read too many posts, over...
If only American politicians would do that: "measure twice, cut once", before getting us into another war in Asia or the Middle East. Neo-con...
Of course you want a $20 Saint, who wouldn't? We all want to justify our "collecting itch's", you might as well have some fun with the hobby. One...
To me junk silver, is junk silver, even if there are higher premiums now for US 90%. As long as I've been into silver, Canadian junk silver has...
I'd say, either a $20 Saint Gaudens, or $20 Liberty. Slabbed by PCGS, or NGC. Honestly, the $20 Saints, if you don't overpay for the grade, or...
Thanks to all, guys--all good advice. cheers, woody
I seem to be developing a Barber Half fetish of sorts. Here's a circ. "short set" on fee-bay right now--27 coins 1907-1915. The seller has no FB,...
Yes, the stock market could crash tomorrow. So could PM, or Real Estate. As I recall, in 2008, all 3 of those asset classes were hit hard. I...
Man, those are some huge buy/sell spreads. Is that normal for B&M coin stores? I'd think it'd be very difficult for the small bullion investor to...
I just looked on fee-bay, & it looks like "junk" peace dollars, ordinary dates, maybe g-vg, are going for $28 or so each. While coinflation.com...
I wonder if any PM investors have ever thought, what if silver declines to $12 say, & then stays there for 10-20 years? Like the LLLoooong bear...
People who had 1/2 their net worth or so then in PM suddenly felt like schmucks for not having sold some--I remember a coin dealer telling me in...
I lived thru that PM crash, but it actually happened early in 1980. Like any crash, or bear market, it was awful for people who had a large...
First off, I just expressed some opinions about some diff. coins that I own, & also ones that I had graded by PCGS. You totally...
Yeah, you paid way too much. Silver yesterday was what, $28-ish? So that's quite a premium. And buying bullion in such small amounts can get a lot...
I've done a total of 2 (4 coins each) submissions to PCGS. What a waste of $$. A Morgan $, that looks identical in grade to 2 CC MS64 Morgans in...
Maybe I'm crazy, since so many people here like that coin, but: to me it looks like an "ugly" coin, with some very odd, "splotchy" toning. Someone...
It looks to me too like it was "harshly cleaned". At the least, something happened to it that's not natural. Gee--a major TPG totally screwing up...
