I didn't use the word "clean." I said "cleaned." And I used the word "gem" as it refers to condition, not "gem" as in precious stone. It...
You're welcome. Mintproducts is a little slow, but they don't sell junk. I've never been disappointed with anything purchased there.
I agree. The gold commems from the 1980's have always been my favorite way to buy gold, and are also one of my favorite numismatic collectibles....
If they were cleaned, they are most likely no longer gems.
I'm not sure how this relates to this thread.
Saving nickels is a risk-free way to participate in any future boom in metal prices. The downside is that you really need a huge number of them...
I see this quote repeated all the time. It is completely irrelevant to the question of whether or not to invest in precious metals. I realize...
The ETF will generally have audited financial statements, an inventory of bars by serial number, and a variety of SEC reports and filings with...

I claim no expertise in this area. I've heard the term pennyweight used in connection with sterling, but never with gold. As to why they would...
The most amazing part is the claim to completing an "orbit" in ten minutes! That would be more than 150,000 miles per hour!
Gold is up. The article is already out of date -- and wrong.
I don't think most smaller dealers will reduce their prices that quickly. And the very large bullion dealers work off of a spread above...
