Since it seems to upset the collectors, I will not post any more thoughts about gold and silver coins as an investment. This happens to be the...
This is what happens to all fiat money. First the cent, then nickel, and eventually all denominations go to zero once you start circulating slugs...
I'd like to correct a couple of statements. Just Carl, the statement about what goes up must come down applies to gravity, not investments. I...
It really isn't a sudden jump. Silver has been in an overall uptrend for years. A few of us here have mentioned this. The primary reason I...
Great analysis!
I've purchased several bank of upper canada and other Canadian tokens from ebay for $5-$7. They are nice coins in my opinion and it almost seems...
My very limited understanding is that many places will not accept gold plated scrap and scrap from electronics. They want rings and things like...

That's interesting, and what I sort of expected. I presume the prices for DEs require the coins to be in something like XF to AU condition so...
I usually take that to mean the coin has a rim and readable date but is basically worth bullion value. If it is priced on that basis it can be...
I've looked at the gold coins on their website from time to time in the past. Two things struck me. First, they don't give much of a discount...
BigsWick, Thanks for the thoughtful response. My original thinking was that if I could get a 100+ year old double eagle for close to the same...
From a limited number of modern commemorative slabs I've seen and own, an ANACS 66-67 looks a lot like an NGC or PCGS 69. ANACS seems very tough...
Seated, Most of the places I visit are like that - basically space renters to junk dealers. I was lucky enough to go into an antique shop in...
I almost purchased circulated Liberties twice. Both times the dealer was so sure that I was making a blunder that I didn't go through with it. I...
