Working a show is a lot of fun...and work. It's great when you have a friend there. That way you can take turns working the table and shopping....
I've seen a few fake Morgans that were correct in weight, and it's not because of a good chemist somewhere in China. It's because they were made...
Funny you should mention that, because San Francisco is where I bought them. Only it was in Chinatown. I've hung out in Chinatown long enough in...
Thanks for the further explanation, Dave. It makes a lot more sense coming from the inside, than trying to figure it out from the outside. Guy~
It's hit or miss with myself. I never know what hours or days I'll be home or at work, and a lot of times when I am at home it's only for 6 hours,...
I guess my concern is when will the profit margins equalize. Will we continue to see a 100% markup on gold and silver when the markets cool and...
It's easy to say this with gold and silver. But, if this were the case with gas, bread, or gasp....beer, I'm sure it would be a different story...

I agree, Drusus. I used to buy a lot of coins from Apmex. But, when they started charging 100% and above over spot for silver, I took my bisiness...
AU RB. The obverse may just be poorly struck, but it doesn't look as nice as the reverse. Guy~
Another year younger.....happy birthday, Peter! Guy~
So, it seems we've come full circle here and the old "don't invest in coins" makes a lot more sense now. I'll use that as my final answer. Invest...
Then I suppose this begs the question....do you plan on being around in 200 years to worry about selling these bullion or numismatic coins? If...
Ok, I have a loophole. I'd spend the rest on presidential dollar coins, which in turn I'd use to purchse my vacation reservations. All legit...
