Bingo! It's probably as simple as that. I believe in free markets, price discovery, and numismatic demand. So I'm all in favor of DOS auctioning...
Paid experts = professionals. You can examine their forecasts yourself on the LBMA website. The amateurs here also have a track-record. Look at...
For 2015, I look at the LBMA forecast and think, "Gold is relatively cheap when it's BELOW the average price-target but 'down-&-out' only when...
Really? How do you know this? Cleaned, circulated Silver Rupees currently sell ~45% over Spot on eBay, (USD$ 28.98/ozt, then net 15% = $24.63)...
Hahaha, you people crack me up! It must be crazy-time on CT, or The-Pitchfork-&-Torches-Brigade needs to prove itself useful. [IMG] I joined...
Exactly. POPULATION. These were common date, circulated Silver Rupees already designated bullion - nothing special. And now, after 70 years...
What is the "Brother Jonathon" repeatedly referred to on this thread? The 1865 S.S. Brother Jonathan Shipwreck? Ya, it carried Gold NOT Silver -...
We have to suffer fools and be nice to idiots on CT ("Oh, you're soooo snobby/judgmental/etc.") but that's not the case on all forums. Though GIM2...
Maybe. Not all collectible bullion wins the prize. SS City of Cairo wasn't a famous wreck, was it? I'd guess the accountants just figured it was...
Interesting to hear that about Silver Stackers; it's more popular than CT Bullion, anyway. GIM2 isn't so trafficked, true, but the quality of...
Someone asked me which other BULLION forums I'd seen to recommend. I wondered which are most popular (frequented: Views, Replies, Posts) so I...
Ed23- Are you joking?! Wow, that kind of thinking borders on pathological. You really believe the dumping of ~8,000,000 numismatic-grade Indian...
This thread has turned GOLD.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue.It may be...
This story stinks, or it doesn't. http://deepoceansearch.com/City_Of_Cairo.htm The suggestion that government bureaucrats 'know nothing' of...
$16.50 to 8.25? I would be. Why? Because I'm not sure why it should: when (in history) did retail Silver drop 50% in 9months in any currency,...
Zimbabwe (Pop.: 13 mln)is one extreme example; there are hundreds of failed paper fiatscos in history, and millions have suffered that lesson...
PMs may certainly be an investment (for experienced speculators, playing a short term trend) but almost no one here - especially the...
I found this infomercial video from the manufacturer of the dies fairly interesting; though dated, it doesn't appear to have been discussed here...
Excellent point! And posting looooong after the normal bedtime of a preteen... 1:25am on a weeknight? I'm genuinely surprised a responsible...
