I'm both a collector and investor, and this seems like a non-starter to me. First of all, there has to be a way to establish a net asset value...
I wasn't aware of any law against melting coins. But given the state of the copper market, I've started to save the pre-82s. It doesn't matter...
Speedy, I've noticed that the common date Morgan and Peace dollars graded about VG to F in the places I usually look jumped in the past week from...
The math doesn't work. The total number of ounces of silver on the COMEX usually fluctuates between 100 million and 120 million. About 40-50 is...
Well, I actually received the coins in good shape, so everything is okay again. But this poisons my enthusiasm for buying, and I'll probably...
Thanks, I'll look. I've noticed that about the gold commem pricing. I've purchased a number of them below melt value and I can't figure out what...
I looked at this problem about a year ago and studied the prices of common date $20 liberties in relation to melt value over a number of years....
To think, it was only about two years ago that silver rounds could be purchased for $7.50 and silver eagles for about $8.00. I guess those were...

I contacted the dealer again, and this time I was told the coins will be shipped this week. No excuses were made so maybe things will work out...
