Of course I was not there, but I am talking about gold and silver metal content of coins and their relative value to each other in monetary...
So supply and demand has been constant at 16:1 for over 4000 years, never varying? Kinda hard to believe that in no period of time one would not...
I would be very hesitant to look at this ratio as well, for all of the reasons you have stated Krispy. They have nothing to do with each other,...
Well the ratio has been adhered to for at least 4,000 years of human history up until the last 40 years or so. I am not sure that is a folly on...
Another point to consider with uncleaned coins is that by and large they have been checked. Trust me, the diggers and subsequent wholesale buyer...
