Too well done for some. :( I have bought stuff on whims just getting caught up in the auction "frenzy" sometimes. But, I have the opposite issue,...
Ancients or modern coins? If ancients, my advice is DON'T! They enforce very strongly their laws against ownership of ancient coins. Kerry...

To answer the OPs post, I can't see the future. If I find a bullion piece I like, I buy it. The last "real money" I put into PM was APE I bought...

Yeah, as a combat vet, I am sure glad everyone tries to buy cheap crap on a holiday meant to reflect on those who died to protect us. :( I am...
Very nice coin OP. Nearly full crest on a Starr piece is always exciting. Unfortunately, it is extremely common to lose the tip of Athena's nose...
