Its always about what you want to do with it. For general coin viewing I agree with a 5x. For errors and the like a 10-20x would be preferred. For...
Good point. Listen, when you go there, there are tons of lots, you are bored because there is a bunch of worthless garbage being sold, you are...
While I liked your table Fatima and appreciated you putting it together, I do not think it proves why we are talking about gold, nor prove that...
But his point, a fair one in my eyes, is ALL commodities would be affected by money printing. If it takes half an ounce of gold to buy a bale of...
