Fair point, but I think if the photos are pretty good that most of the time there isn't much of a difference vs. examining it in person under...
They need to nap a bit more.....:D You are right, they are not quite like the super-expensive, nearly-impossible-to-get MSDs but they are clearly...
It's probably in an upcoming Morgan book I'll buy/read, but why did the Carson City Mint experience such big drops in the numbers above (down to...
Easy....the capital structures were not laden with debt. Plus, the CAPX that went into these lower-hanging fruit were much less (see my comment...
So many of these mines were uneconomical except under totally unrealistic assumptions. Some of the purchase prices were doublt, triple, or even...
Up to 1/4 oz. is OK, esp. if you aren't going to be buying again for a while and want to do something now. But the 1/10th oz. premiums can be 25%...

Thanks, IMR.
Who's RS and what was his thread about ?
Collectors Society -- is that run by NGC ? Yeah, I came over here when I got suspended for 2 weeks for some bogus infaction in the Water Cooler...
The gold price went up 6-fold between 2002 and 2011 and virtually all mining companies saw their stock prices go DOWN or do nothing. Tens of...
Didn't CAC want to separate the A-B-C coins that supposedly all got the same grade during The Bubble Years, esp. for more expensive coins and/or...
