I would like to see a side by side comparison of US total debt/GDP from 1945 and now. US total debt (Federal, state, local, personal) is now 363%...
If it ever comes down to a reasonable price I may buy one. Reasonable to me is less than $100 over metal value. So I'm probably not getting one.
I am definitely in the small camp that wants dollar coins and the $1 eliminated. I wouldn't mind the penny being eliminated as well. Get rid of it...
An AU Barber half dollar and AU Walking Liberty quarter.
I agree with JimofOakCreek - if you are that bullish on silver why not at a minimum invest in gold also? Personally, I believe in diversification...
Japan doesn't use 100 yen notes (roughly equivalent to our dollar). They go up to 500 yen in coins. They got it right, Canada got it right, Europe...
I'm totally a newbie to slabs. I have a couple but just bought slabbed proof coins on ebay. I have some newbie questions and would appreciate...

I'm sorry if I'm not looking in the right place. I tried the FAQ forum and didn't see anything. What does BWR and CWR mean? Are local big banks...
It seems there are counterfeits these days even the experts can't tell apart? That's what scares me the most about coin collecting. When you say...
I've encountered several cranky old men shops over the years. In the NW suburbs of Chicago, I'm blessed by several local shops with polite and...
Very nice set.
Thanks for that link, Hiddendragon. Added to favorites.
I'm dabbling in everything. Lately, been trying to finish off the silver proof sets back to 1992.
Do WANT!
My dealer told me he buys for 5% under spot and sells for 5% over spot. I've seen him purchase from people and that seems to be his system.
It seems it would cost more than $3 to make a $3 fake. How cheap is it to make these fakes? No one counterfeits $5 bills that I've ever heard of,...
