I don't dabble in it myself, but I think that preppers are gobbling up all of the junk silver that they can get their hands on. With the looming...
I use the same ones. I have a 100 and a 50 that I think are pretty great, while not being terribly expensive. Unfortunately my safe is too small...
Heh, ya. I typically nail the letters, but my typing fingers are less reliable when it comes to hitting the correct numbers :( So long as it's...
I actually picked up a Pontius Pilot Prutah and a Half Prutah this year, but I also still need the Tyrian Shekel. I woulda put it in my top 5 for...
