Trashed.
I'd be equally unsurprised by $3600 or $2600 sometime in the next year.
Yeah, and I worry that we'll lose a lot of desirable coins to melting pots, as we likely did when silver spiked around 1980 (and in the spikes since).
I can't think of any other large retailer that sells gold that close to spot, never mind locking the price at the time of shipment (so that you...
My take: an investment is something that provides dependable growth or income, whether over the short or long term. ("I'm going to lock up this...
To paraphrase a great economist, the eBay marketplace can remain irrational longer than I can remain patient.
As long as eBay gets their cut, it's really hard to convince them that there's any such thing as a "bad seller".
If I make it to the 300th, I'm darn well going to hang on until the total solar eclipse that comes RIGHT OVER MY HOUSE on May 11, 2078. Of...
I'm so happy that they've expanded the number of characters allowed for feedback. But apparently not happy enough to resume shopping there. :(

Correct. That's why I broke out the prices separately for the gold commemoratives (same composition and weight as 1837-1933 half eagles, 0.242 ozt...
Yep. I don't remember the technical details, but it struck me as kind of silly and hopeless. As far as I know, photographing such bills still...
It's hard to keep up with gold prices these days, but melt value for $5 gold pieces is over $730. $750+ for the quarter-ounce piece. I keep doing...
There's been extensive discussion and planning for Semiquincentennial [yes, I know, even spell-check can't read that] coinage. I was going to say...
The ones that went for $2500 when gold was $2000?
Meant to circle back to this earlier. What's your definition of the difference between "speculation" and "investment"?
I may have to pick one of those up one day, if only because the spot it commemorates is just a few miles from my first home.
The "bubble about to pop" voices are hard to hear over the "new normal" voices and the "still being artificially suppressed" voices. More likely,...
Separate names with a comma.
