The CFTC is reviewing the position limits for all commodities at this time. It would make sense to lower them for silver, but I don't know if...
Everyone wants to be the leader in whatever they do in business. That isn't economic warfare. Economic warfare is taking actions deliberately...
I vaguely recall high school chemistry classes where we plated coins to make them appear to be struck with other metal.
Are you excluding the possibility that there might be something between economic war and playing nice?
This is why all talk about a "bubble" in gold is complete nonsense. When the bubble arrives, people will be falling over each other to buy gold,...
The silver price is somewhat disconnected from gold because it is a tiny physical market by commodity standards, and the amount of paper...
If you don't know the answer to your own question with certainty, then you haven't done enough research to buy the coin.

A scratch doesn't bother me unless it is in a obvious place such as the field or cheek. I don't know how professional graders view it.

I think it is an underrated commem. There is a lot going on in the design.

If you are trying to build a collection with eye appeal and don't want to or can't pay some of the prices commanded by MS coins, then AU is the...
First of all, I want to make it clear that I like gold and silver a lot as an asset class and I expect both to go higher. But the articles you...
Not at all. It should have been expected by all here. The only thing in doubt was the date.
I generally avoid sterling silver out of fear it will be too hard to sell. Buy what is easy to resell, not what is cheapest.
The library and internet are good substitutes for buying the books. Another thing you might want to try is to ask the librarian if the library...
You mean a mail order bride?:confused::bigeyes::eek:
If the premise is true, and it probably is from the expert observations here, then over time the market prices for coins at a particular grade...
