So what are everyone's current thoughts on whether those premiums will recover if gold drops heavily? When silver was at its hottest (circa 2011),...
Welcome to an explosively growing club, I guess...
I'm trying to imagine writing a five-figure price on a cardboard 2x2. Do you suppose he did that before or after stapling it shut? And, crucially,...
Wow. If 1/10 Oz gold is going for less than a third of melt, and ebay still takes their cut... where in the world are they going to find sellers...
I'm sure NGC and PCGS already have their "TRUCKWRECK EFFECT" labels drafted and ready to go.
Just in case anyone is still thinking of dipping their toes in, looks like the pond has pretty much dried up:...

The last string in the file (using the Unix 'strings' command) is That string of numbers -- if you look at it as pairs of numbers, they're all...
Not a one there that I'd turn away from my collection, but also not a chance that I'd be willing to pay what they're worth, regardless of...
Since the article summary itself says the coins were in a ceramic pot, I tend to think someone went looking for a stock image. (I was going to say...
If gold's actively correcting around the time of the big show here in June, maybe I should buy some stuff. If it's actively spiking again, maybe I...
On the other hand, some pro-level cameras now use metadata to cryptographically sign images, making it possible to prove that they haven't been...
My tools and I are very rusty. I had to do all sorts of metadata-related stuff with image files in a previous life, but I find to my consternation...
