I agree with Doug liking junk silver. ASE's or "coins" would be my next preference, with bars being last, exactly for the reason he states. How...
Not enough people appreciate this fact. There are simply millions of incorrect attributions online, especially if the original source was an Ebay...
Exactly Jeff. Its the exact same investing mindset that small investors use for equities. Small investors have a really terrific track record of...
Why wouldn't someone just put the coin in their pocket for a few months and make a VF if they wanted a lowball example?
I would agree with Longnine. I have been around this hobby for a while now, going on 40 years. While in the 70's there of course was a desire of...
OP, first thing to understand about PM is how emotionally driven it can be. I just read an article from India how purchases there are down because...
I agree with JA. I know of this seller, since he is close to me. Self slabs a lot of garbage because a lot of buyers believe "slabs add value"....

No, the detail is not too good to be true sir. Heck, I have PILES of cash from 10th century, first century, even 2nd century bc wish as good of...
