Yes, nice pickul, especially for the price.
No offense meant Mike. The jist of my post was I could suggest 500 coins I own, but if you have different tastes than I, (fairly likely as I have...
That is true. Even pulling out coins of Alexander the Great, etc it seems non-collectors are more attracted to the gold.....
Mike, we cannot tell you how to spend your money.we don't know what makes you happy. Do you like coins or bullion? Are you just about return?...
Eh, I am not so sure. More of this is done for either showmanship or by dealers who might just happen to have examples for sale than I feel we...
Well, considering I primarily collect ancient coins I have to take issue with this. In fact, the ancient side of the hobby has grown greatly the...
Not disagreeing about demand. Demand very well can be higher than mining output. From my own view it had really better climb, since i am a...
No offense meant, but maybe it does. I disagree with your assertion because you usually then say that this "fact" then proves that "scrap metal"...

Man, exact same thing happened in the late 70's. Some dealers switched over to only bullion, some did both, and some only coins. Everyone was...

Fair enough sir. Maybe it all boils down to those who buy coins with little knowledge of coins usually end up with a low value mess of "stuff",...
Btw, I just wanted to be clear Toughcoins I do understand what you are saying. We have all seen the random accumulations of 1970's proof sets,...
I do both. I buy whatever I feel like, but have bigger concentrations in areas that interest me overall. I understand what you are saying about...
Yellow is a very normal toning color for coprunickel. Store them in plastic tubes when you get them to avoid this issue.
