A little wet dirt and plastic bearings in a rock polisher on low will do the trick. Unfortunately for them, its polishing pot metal, which will...
Perfect answer. I see better cast copies at Chinese markets locally for less than $5. Not even a decent pot metal fake. US, British, and French...
I have no idea what these go for, but all of us get caught up in bidding wars. I think many more than usual are doing it this year due to prices I...
I would see just the opposite. I think alternative energy is very bearish for pm. One, the use of copper is high for all forms, which will lead to...
I have always advocated getting rid of all descriptors and have all grades numerical. The original sin of US numismatics was to split the world of...
I agree. If it's easily foreseeable, it will be priced into the market already. Its always the unknowns. This is why I admit I have no idea what...
