You could also ask yourself another question Chris - where does the metal that forms the central devices come from - what areas of the planchets ?...
Ask yourself a simple question Chris - where is most of the metal once a coin has been struck ? The vast majority of it is in one place - the...
I know that most everything anyone can read says that. But actually, it moves in the opposite direction, from the outer edges towards the center -...

And did you happen to notice that the more silver you add to the alloy the lower the hardness number gets ? Point being, if you took the silver...
Just make sure you remember one thing. During the bull market between 2001 and 2008, which was the biggest and longest lasting bull market there...
