Forgot, don't panic and instead buy for the long haul. I buy gold and silver frequently and I have bought at many price points. But like a...
I stick with coins and not bars because of future assay issues. Government issued coins are readily recognized and the American Eagle is not...
I think this one is Zombie Liberty [ATTACH] http://www.1881o.com/22006068_toned.html
Well I assume the dot is a carbon spot from the planchet cleaning process in sawdust. They are not rare and a good bargaining tool on prices....
Since Morgan Dollars are the most popular collectible among US coins I thought it might be interesting to have a Morgan Dollar only thread for...
I like "Eclipse" I also got "No Eagles Allowed", which has some appeal giving it some international flavor
