Me too. I do also understand your wife sir. I grew up pretty poor, and was even more poor in college. I still remember having a little over a $1...
Not spending money you do not have is key. What is the number, something like the balance on credit cards for the average American who carries a...
Prime Mover gave you the right answer. US coins with less than 90% silver content always sell at a discount, (sometimes a severe discount), to...
Btw, its pretty darned hard to make a square coin. The problem is not cutting out a square flan, that is the part that is easier than round coins....
I completely agree the time to buy is when most people are down on an investment, any investment. I don't see how you think you are the only one...
It will be a pretty personal decision since all of us have different amounts of silver already, different outlooks, etc. If I were a young man and...
Collect, the one thing I would say about your coin is its from the time of Prince Siddhartha Gatama, (Buddha), then it would be mid 5th century,...
IDK. Its not my cup of tea, but I am not going to throw stones. If I did, that stone would be a much larger one than just at this PARTICULAR slab....

Spectacular specimen of course. Any coliseum sestertius is one of those special, nearly unobtainable coins every ancient collector dreams of,...
Lol, all of us with hundreds, (or thousands), of coins wish the same at times. :)
I have to disagree Doug. Many experienced collectors advise to put BD coins in distilled water. The trick is what do you do with it once you...
Good post JAF. Looking back further, if you take a reasonable inflation number and adjust the price of silver from 1920 or 1950 to today, and...
I always hate the Armegeddon talk. Its so outrageous as to overshadow a good reason to invest in PM, and the one I subscribe to. There is a...
If you are good enough to catch investments at their bottom, more power too you. I have never had perfect timing like that, so when investments I...
Yeah, but to ancient collectors this doesn't ring that strong. When I own coins of Marc Antony, Cleopatra VII, Alexander the Great, etc, having...
"Shipwreck" coins always bring a premium due to people dreaming of Johnny Depp as a pirate, etc. Its probably one of the most overused marketing...
