From what I have heard from dealers, this is some pretty solid gold advice OP.
Hmm, seems kind of backwards to me. Not saying it is not true for you, but gold, being priced almost 100 times higher than silver, seems to be...
Maybe in Europe that is true sir. I personally have not seen one in any local show here, only in larger regional or national shows. I doubt...
I do have to say, though, that this view is ignoring 80% of the world in its Eurocentric reasoning. For most of the world, 476 was irrelevant....
