It's been a while since I've seen so much fail in one auction. Not only is it PCGS and CAC, it's brand name APMEX! The image shows an 1881 that...
That is absolutely a factor with local dealers. There's a lot to be said for walking in with some bullion and walking out with cash monies. Or...
Also, try to keep in mind what defines the spot price of a precious metal. Hint: It's not what a person should expect when they bring a one ounce...
I think a lot depends on the local market. There are markets that favor the buyer and markets that favor the seller. For example, if a local...
Then what? One of the main reasons people own precious metals is resale value. If you can't resell your precious metals because nobody can be...
That's the most logical connection that I can think of too. Criminals don't want to go to the same pawn shop too often unless they know the owner...
Good find. Strange that the source I found said the full text of the bill was never released. At least it would have allowed for selling without...
if it has the same dimensions and weight as a genuine 1 oz round, and it passes the magnet test, then it won't be steel on the inside.

Premiums are also used by dealers for at least two other purposes. The first is to cover volatility. If a dealer buys at spot from customers, or...
I hear ya. One of my LCS has been increasing their premium as the price has been dropping. At $30+ their premium was $4.50. Now that we're...
And, we all know that correlation equals causation, so you must be right. Do you suppose there might be other variables involved? Assuming that...
Before I accept this statement at face value, I'd like to see some actual numbers that prove how these sort of laws have helped reduce theft of...
Considering you'll find at least 100 1965 quarters for every 1964 quarter you find, it makes the 1965's seem very common. They seem to stick in...
Aug 1 will be $16.50/Oz. I can't wait! :thumb:
I also enjoy looking through the feedback of some sellers to see if the item they're currently selling was recently purchased through FeeBay. One...
My Father's Day present was a used AMSEC safe similiar to this one: [ATTACH] It's missing the shelf and has a few scuffs, but we got it for a...
