It looks like a regulation, not a law passed by a legislative body.
Also keep in mind that the futures market is largely a cash market. Very little physical metal changes hands compared to total trading volume....
You are correct that my assumptions are based on a very limited and invalid statistical sample from my experience. I was just pointing out the...
Welcome to CoinTalk. You started with a great question. I am not aware of any law against melting. The US Mint doesn't have the authority to...
Yes but we already know how it would turn out. If you take the collection to three dealers, one will try to steal them for melt or face value,...
Good luck with your "investment."
As of Friday, I believe September silver futures were $13.875 compared to a spot price of $13.87. I don't know where the $11 comes from. Below is...

I would pass on it. It appears to be cleaned and the photos seem designed to hide any flaws. I would grade it a problem AU. On general...
It would be difficult to name someone worse than Hommel as an investment advisor. Schiff is a bit better but very very self-promotional. I also...
It's an interesting piece of numismatic history.
Ironically, the smartest investment I made last year was to purchase stocks. Everything I bought went below my purchase price earlier this year,...
Maybe it will, but it's usually a low probbility bet to go against a bull market. Somehow, you have become fixated on the 900. Round numbers are...
