That sums it up nicely from my understanding as well.
Yes they aer magnetic, and yes they can be brown. The steel underneath the zinc can rust and give the coin a rusted brown color.
You are in good shape then. No rush. Before you know it you will be an old hand like me with thousands of coins. :)
Freshly cleaned coins like your I don't like to rush. Remember, you are just a custodian, this coin will be around for generations. If you want to...
I think you made the right decision. Stick with easily determinable PM with low premiums. THat combo will lead to the highest PM return. WHen...
Do you also have silver? If you do, I would hold onto some gold as well. I am a firm believer in diversification.
But that analysis is misreading and wrong. If someone had a dollar in 1920 they would have put it into an interest bearing deposit. With the...
Is it illegal for coins to leave Canada? If not, same difference.

I find Buffett pretty honest, he just does it first, then explains why. I don't blame him for not advertising to the world he is accumulating a...
Just look at the 1883 nickel for proof of what hoarding a "rare" coin will do to future values. If the general public views something as "rare"...
That number is misleading. You would be picking some VERY weird stocks, as 7 stocks to eliminate 85% correlation is about the limit, and you would...
Sounds like a pretty terrible dealer. I am glad you itemized and dealt individually on each of the coins with him. Listen, my example earlier...
