Most hoards from circulation like this will have very little value over silver melt value TBH. I have seen dozens over the years. My mother had...
The problem with this is "how much do you give up waiting for something to happen?" Yeah, we all agree long term PM will go up, but as an...
Yes and no. The SC has cited Declaration of Independence sections as clarification of points of law. What most Americans don't know is that this...
I wasn't questioning you sir, just saying its an extraordinarily high quote IMHO and would take it. I do not think the dealer will make hardly...
Take the money and run on the second offer. That offer is very high from a dealer, I would not pay that for the set as a collector. A few things...
Gold and silver were similarly valued in the West, so therefore a gold/silver ratio was somewhat tied to relative scarcity. The modern world has...

My gosh. They are really striking that abomination? What is it, a third grader's interpretation of St Gauden's $10 eagle? The reverse is not so...

Humans always seem to normalize around what has happened for a year or two. I remember threads here where I said I thought silver is fairly valued...
If someone knows the market for gold will peak and stocks recover, the smarter play is to sell into strength and buy weakness. I have been doing...
The same rule applies to silver, but different consequences. The reason purity matters is if someone wants to melt and use it, there would be a...
All 1 ounce gold coins have one net ounce of gold. If it is less than .999 purity, the coin will simply weigh more than an ounce, the difference...
Eh, I was thinking that but have been getting into proof platinum lately. I find the series surprisingly beautiful. I got burned WAY too often...
The whole conversation around purity is more appropriate concerning silver. If there is a smelting charge, it is a higher percentage versus value...
I am presently in Thailand. I am in Chiang Mai now, and will be in Bangkok in a week. Anyone have addresses of good dealers to visit? Does Ron...
Thank you. I thought bracteates could have reverses, so I guess the ones I have are pfennings. I think this is a very common assumption in the...
