Doug and I, (I think I am talking for Doug), are just saying paying such a premium is out of the norm historically, and we have seen such...
I think the poster was talking about the "doomsayers" in the PM industry. I have listened to their spiel for decades now, since I always thought...
Me Cloud? Lol. Well I will contend that more gold mines ARE in the pipeline now. I have talked to people looking into old mines, restarting old...
Ditto, but people can spend what they like. Think about it, we are all pretty stupid for paying anything above melt value for anything we collect,...
I found teens cents is about it. That was some time ago as well. In the late 70's you would find all Jefferson nickels and a few scrubby buffalos...

I would do two things, try to return the coin and buy a photograding book. If you like this series, look at examples in a photograde book and you...
