I believe it is much more. There are many collectors of ASEs, and one day the US Mint will discontinue the series, and every ASE in existence will...
That's an important point that is often overlooked. I see people post things like "my holding period is 20 years" and "I'll never sell" and "if...
I still like gold and silver, but not as much as I did when prices were much lower. A major problem I have with folks like Julian Phillips is...
The reason why there are so few really successful investors is that some sell too quickly, usually telling themselves "you can never go wrong...
I don't disagree that silver will settle in the $20's since that is probably in the range of the marginal cost of production, but for now the bull...
I see this repeated often, and it is bad investment advice. Denial is the thinking behind turning small losses into large ones. If the current...
These comparison charts are used all of the time. I've seen dozens over the years to "prove" that the stock market was replaying 1929 and the...
I see some 2006w going for $60 now. Would that be considered a "bargain?" They are slabbed MS68.
All things considered, ASEs are the easiest bullion to resell for full value, and should probably be the first choice.
I think a common error is to purchase whatever is cheapest rather than purchase what can be easily resold. As much as most of us don't want to...
I wouldn't buy a cull. The discount on resale will be enormous. An average circulated coin will still have some value to a collector.
If you can find any S mint morgans for the price you mentioned, I would go with them.
Several years ago [when silver was about $7] I called Scotiabank's bullion desk and inquired about the $5 face value silver maple leafs and their...
I do not necessarily endorse, or not endorse anything in the attached link. But the conversation about a gold standard seems to have spread...
I think trying to "prove" that gold has no value, as distinct from price, is a useless exercise. History has already established that gold is...
The article measures what they refer to as "production cost." Total cost is probably significantly higher. Everyone is free to do their own...
Here is another datapoint. The attached article gives an indication of how rapidly the cost of of production has been rising. I've seen many...
Nobody can tell you for certain. To me, it seems that in the highly unlikely event that the gold standard returns, gold will be revalued upward...
I don't believe gold was selling below the cost of production. During that time period [particularly 80s and 90s], costs were much lower than...
There are a variety of factors. For many of the uses in the link, gold has no close substitute that performs at the same level. It costs more to...
