Man, you are really moving in ancient India. I am afraid this is probably where you and I part ways on our collecting habits. While I completely...
He posted pretty extensively a couple of months ago Tinpot. Remember how pm went down about 20% in the period, yet Sprott's net worth went up?...
I have to say I am with some others. You wish to invest small amounts a month, keep shipping chsrges down, and sell off easily when retired. To me...
Start by starting. Ask us questions, we are very helpful here. Ask our advice. My one word of advice would be to only buy coins you like, as...
