It's a pretty good summary of the case for silver made elsewhere by many analysts. The analyst here makes the classic error of naming both the...
It's hard for people today who view money as electronic information to fully realize that money used to be a specific weight of metal. For...
I don't know about coin shops but the jewelry store on the left side of the street going into the park used to sell some .999 souvenier silver...
I've learned from visiting antique shops that most of the "silver" sets for sale aren't silver. I'd like to know more about sterling but there...
I would assume AT unless you know where the coin came from and how it was stored.
A dollar scale as you suggested is one way to go. I would put any coin with mint luster worth preserving into an airtite or other plastic holder....
If you can, please post a photo. Sounds interesting.
Is the Mint really sending out a high percentage of defective sets, or are collectors just getting more particular about the quality? There seem...
I made one purchase from Harlan J. Berk. No problems, but I'm a pretty small sample size. If you plan to buy modern commemoratives and bullion...
The coins don't have numismatic value, but it doesn't mean they are "junk." Everything is collectible, but not everyone collects everything. If...

It also helps to take a few low value coins [preferably pocket change] and clean them yourself using several different methods. Then compare the...
http://www.nwtmintbullion.com/silver.php If you want silver bullion, you probably want bars or rounds. I think this site a a good place to get...
I really don't think so. Black ring airtites are safe and very good looking. I use a lot of them.
Nobody knows what future prices will be, but at the present time very few people are excited about the price of gold. When you start seeing...
Actually, they come unassembled in two halves with the ring in one half. After I close them, I rarely if ever reopen them so it hasn't been an...
I think that if you didn't arrange for combined shipping before bidding, you owe both charges -- ethically speaking.
I use airtites for basiccally all uncirculated coins that aren't slabbed.
