Well silver took a generation. But to long term holders that is ok. It took me 20 years to have the paper gains I have today on silver, and if I...
Good point. While I own quite a bit, I have stopped buying world silver that is affected by melt values. My dream scenario would be to sell...
Yeah, I heard a talk show the other day. Even though they were conservatives, they were railing against the idea of abolishing the dollar and 2...
Yes, of course. It has always been that way, though don't forget to deduct any other costs, like traveling to the show to sell them. Btw, don't...
I guess I would ask what do you want? Do you want to work on a US type set, broaden your horizons, buy something with a lot of history, something...
Good point Phil. I have European friends and they save a much larger percent of their income than even I do, and I think I am conservative. They...
Well, 10 years ago I would have said it hurt its value 5-10% over a blazing white example. Idk about today.

Well the gain will be as simple as how much you paid for them, any costs of maintaining them, (part of safe deposit or insurance charge), versus...
I agree that face value or any other value is meaningless. If you traded non-numismatic for numismatic, that would be harder. It all depends on...
I would NOT go as far to say the world likes us because of pricing. Antiques are a worldwide commodity and they know US collectors pay way too...
Yes, as I have said if YOUR currency is undergoing massive inflation, then ANY commodity that is exportable provide monetary safety. But I...
Sounds stupid I know, but the US dollar does indeed gain strength in times of troubles. It happens so regularly I am sure many people make a large...
....but the video only works if the gold is valued OUTSIDE of that area. If the whole world is in economic collapse, there IS no outsiders to pay...
Well first, don't trust a firm for tax advise. They will do what THEY are required, not is what is required of you. Two things, I would argue with...
I would say you should run it past your tax person. There is a limit under which no quarterly filing is required.
