Have you been to a mine site and seen how many millions of pounds of dirt is moved to process one ounce of gold? Its not like the 49er's days...
I wonder if Mary Ellen Withrow knows about this quote?
Usually, for small investors, this is true of most investments. Most small investors always chase return, and wish to buy what is hot and sell...
Littleton is simply in a different marketplace than most of us are. I think with the advent of HSN and the like its more clear. Littleton has HUGE...
Its pretty sad my wife even has her Thai friends cook Thai food for them, she is THAT good of a Thai cook, and I don't like Thai food. :(
Yeah, that is true. I forgot all about those coins variously attributed to Kidarites, Hepthalites, "unknown hun", and various Indian dynasties...
Well, it cannot be Thailand since I know those by heart. It would not be Vietnam since all of those were Chinese cash derivatives until the 20th...

I agree the fractions are almost always much rarer than the standard denominations. I have some 1/8th and 1/16th baht pieces from Siam that are...
Sure looks lifeless to me sir. A BU coins should be full of luster, this one just is flat. Could be your photography, and if it is I am not one to...
