Hm just out of curiosity chris, weren't the Europeans adamant that coins are not to be struck in nickel alloy as there are quite a fair number of...
Apparently you didn't understand any of our posts - if you can find any of the Tsarist rubles, half ruble and quarter ruble at Krause price or...
Not necessarily till 2013. Zimbabwe has a significant amount of platinum and it has a potential of raising over 1 million ounces of platinum per...
If you are looking at Krause, let's say it's completely outdated as Russian coins have done a good job in making a nightmare for the editors of...
This is a page that I built some time ago - still messy but you get the rough idea. Soviet commemorative coins in original boxes and COAs are a...

PGM - platinum group metals, which includes platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium. That said, price of rhodium is over the...
Gold price is absurd. There is enough supply but demand and speculation is killing everything. PGMs on the other hand is another story as the...
Right and Russian coins were struck in 1921. How does that work. Hobo, most of them were bulk lot and I upgraded them over time. I'm sure if I...
Point is, even if the value of copper doubled in the next few years, how much copper must you save in order to even have a meal's worth? I'm sorry...
