Yes, I understand there will be a premium over spot. But with the AGE, that is generally a small premium. With for instance a $1 US gold coin,...
We have a (one year old :)) tradition in my house where on St. Patrick's Day, my daughters leave out two pennies and a "leprechaun" comes and...
That's a sure way to mess up a possibly good thing :). I ordered 5 to not be too greedy :).
Edit: Feeling guilty about winning last one and submitting so I'm gonna retract my entry.
Definitely go get some books. My daughter who is now 9 started with a penny (cent) book. She has the state quarter books of course also. I'd...
Up until that time (well since the 40's or something), foreign banks could trade $35 for an ounce of gold. In theory, the US was supposed to have...
Wooo! Cool, my first contest win :). I'm gonna have two daughters me for it :). Thanks Tom!
And just to be sure, I'll add jan 22, 2017 sunday, Jan 23, 2017 Monday.. I am pretty sure it's the Jan 21, but I'd like to read the book now...
Well I got the book finally. I think it's January 21, 2017 which would be a Saturday. But I didn't read it all yet so I'll submit a few other...

So I ordered 5 sets of the ASE silver set on the 2nd day they were available. I was thinking of keeping 3 sets for my kids, but I ordered 5 sets...
I have had no luck with the drop test. Weighing them is the way to go. Zinc pennies (cents) are 2.5g and the copper ones are 3.1g. You can make...
Sound or weight. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between silver and zinc by dropping it. In addition, I'm sure it weighs a different amount.
I'm just curious if anyone has thought about searching for silver in casinos? Maybe I'm totally off base here, but I'm curious if I can go to my...
Noooo! Not for a coin that's worth any significant amount at least.
This is true, but it is not a simple matter to stop one of these things. I would be much more worried about a forgery than I would about someone...
I have the same fears about selling my set (if) I get it. If you only accept a MO, it's going to negatively affect your auction price. If you...
Disclaimer: I'm far from an expert on this. But these things don't look to me like machine errors. All of those I have seen involve doubling...
