Nobody in the world can tell you whether the pandas or the bars will turn out to be the better long term investment. There is probably no harm in...
That isn't my point. The point is that collectors are being manipulated by the Mint in my opinion and being led to purchase coins at premium...
jaceravone, I see nothing in your post to make me rethink my position. The Mint has been speeding up the turnover time for their products in...
I agree. They will probably sell for some premium above spot in the future but will never command the premium of a circulation coin. Collectors...
Going from memory, I believe President Kennedy was very interested in returning silver dollars to circulation and the peace design was to be used....
You did the right thing and are not a sucker for not taking advantage of your cousin. It's a bit strange to me that people even ask questions...
Thanks for the report. It is very helpful to know the prices others are finding. It looks like you did very well.
The advice was never relevant because it isn't actionable. It's like telling someone to only schedule their vacation when the weather will be...
You should never believe anything that someone says on the internet without checking it out because you have no way of knowing how credible the...

Your post was not offensive in any way. Please don't change your opinion to conform to the crowd. Just base your opinions on the facts as you...
I disagree. And I've learned a lot from your ability to present information without sugar-coating it.
This story doesn't surprise me at all. I still haven't been able to figure out if bad businessmen are attracted to the coin shop business, or if...
This part of your post deserves a bit more of an answer. First of all, there is a lot of evidence that inflation rates are and have been higher...
Nobody can predict the short run price movement. Silver is very volitile. But sometime in the next 5 to 10 years, it will take out the old 1980...
That's some find. Maybe your boss should lighten up a bit about doing "free appraisals." You never know where it will lead.
I wouldn't do it. Around me it would be inviting a burglary. You are safer if nobody knows you collect coins.
Not that I'm aware of. The 70 grade is more of a marketing gimmick in my opinion.
Rising prices are not a bubble. Bubbles are characterized by widespread public particpation, the use of leverage, and parabolic prices. Think...
