The gold commems from the 80s are frequently available at great prices and are a good way to buy gold.
I couldn't disagree more. I can't think of anything worse than becoming a pain in the slab trying to force other family members to become expert...
:headbang:
I like the above suggestion best. My first experience collecting coins was pulling canadian cents out of my parent's pocket change. For some...
Not at all. Having lived through the gas lines of the 70s, I would much prefer paying a higher price than living through a shortage. What people...
I always thought that most gold coins functioned as bank reserves and didn't often leave the vault. Silver coins circulated. Many years ago I...
Free markets charge whatever the market will bear. To complain that a supplier is charging too much or that buyers are paying too much is...

I would just urge you to consider that you may be making the analysis error of assuming that the spot price is somehow the correct price and that...
