Chris, I thought at first you said a double lie. Yeah, that would fit in here with coin collectors! :) I find coin collectors are a lot like...
I don't think the 99 is cleaned at all. I think its dirty at the surface but luster underneath. I think you did really well with both of these...
Depends on the meaning of the word "speculative". It always boils down to the meaning. I would agree with you since gold has the least...
I think they were just having fun Lucy. You are right gold is much better for storage than silver, with platinum being better yet. My quantity of...
Lance, I know I am a hard case. I liked the hobby 30 years ago personally. If there were "guarantees" that could be relied on that would make...
Mark, great post of course. One thing that always bothered me about slabs is this exact thought, (even though its correct). If the TPG is just...
How does everyone remember? I do not remember all of the coins I own, so I cannot recall having "lost" one since my childhood. Now, many times...
Lucy, just my opinion as well but I think absent any other forces, gold will continue to go up as well. Remember always that inflation is almost...

The entire GOP is emlployed by the government????? Man, I have heard the opposite, like 91% of government workers are registered Democrats or...
I have never said sell AGE below their gold value, I was just saying that .999 gold should be, because it is more readily used in industrial uses,...
I pay too Winged, I feel you. The "Trust fund" is a pay as you go system, meaning you pay for those who are retired. It is what I stated will be...
Why do investors buy anything? Lets limit the discussion to just "things" and not securities. Why do they buy things? They do it to sell to...
They take pure gold, and make value added chains, (jewlery) from it. You think at a macro level this business plan is flawed? They cannot take...
This, and the fact someone retiring in the last 20 years will get more out of SS and medicare than they paid in for any tax, at any level, for...
Medicare is broke in 3 years, SS in 7. That is from the new report from their commissioners. No one has "stolen" from those funds, the cash was...
