I don't think it's been beaten to death. I couldn't tell you and I hadn't seen any verification here before. It's been talked about but I didn't...
Alright!! Fantastic news!! Congrats. You get the stuff back and a couple more scum bags are off the street. Great news. Seems like a...
Wrong. I never implied that 90% 'of collectors buying toned coins' are that unaware. The line reads like this: "I have a feeling that 90% of...
BTW, notice I said precious metals. Something you don't mind parting with, selling or spending. Not rare coins. If the U.S. can somehow manage...
These days, I'd be looking to put money in anything that will at least maintain value. From what I've been reading, this has to be one of the...
Mark, I loved both of your last 2 responses. This is exactly why people should care. I have a feeling that 90% of the people buying coins like...

You should download the American Advisor podcasts from goldline international. Joe Batallia talked about this on his radio program like a week...

Oh man. When it rains, it pours. I just read the whole thread. Skimmed through this last page. Sorry to hear of this. FWIW, I know someone...
I'd say you couldn't go wrong with either but I believe silver has an edge. I have no doubt gold will at least double in my lifetime, if not...
Bumping this thread! I thought about starting a new one but low and behold I remembered this thread and found it. So what's everybody think...
Are NCS slabbed coins included in NGC's population reports? You can enter NCS slab numbers on NGC's database and the NCS slab will come up.
Stunning coin. I wonder why there are so many toned 1881-S's? They seem to make up a large majority of what I run across. Heritage has...
