My example with water was one where the person in the desert NEEDED water NOW and THEN, not 8 hour drive away in a car he did not have. He could...
No, knowledge is not free when you are making copies of something spent a great deal of money putting together and you are stealing potential...
Ok Fatima, make it simple. I have water, normally a valueless entity but lets say I bought a bottle of Aquafina for $1. I drive to a desert on my...
All very good advice for you here Vance. One thing that I could add, (assuming you are in the US), is to get the Redbook others have mentioned,...
I have to disagree Fatima. Your original post, while good, did not include time and place utility. Time and place utility usually adds more value...
I wouldn't say that John. Conventionally investment is buying revenue producing things, (stocks, bonds, land, real estate, REIT, etc), with some...

There is no harm I see inquiring economic effects of a natural disaster. Alex is just trying to learn, not trying to profiteer. There is a lot to...
I agree it would be a great collection. I have a type set book for Mexico that has most holes filled, (no cabillito). I was thinking of filling it...
I would be confortable in assuming if its not listed in Krause, they did not amke any for those years. Krause has mistakes, but Mexican coinage is...
Interesting, the mechanicals and glass would only weigh 10-16 grams? I would have thought more. Does this also apply to Rolex's, etc?
I know its scary, but lets look at the alternatives. The Yuan is not an international currency, and even if it was remember they are still...
Well Siggi I would lower that to 90% silver, as I have dipped many US coins. "Cleaning" is such a large term many things can get lost. Are you...
