I know I will sound like a broken record, but I still say "it depends". You want lower transaction costs, more evened out returns, and ease of...
I agree with Hadrian. At first I also thought Trajan, but saw the back of the neck and changed my opinion to Hadrian. As to whether its worth...
I would say the Krause catalog of world coins, (one per century), would be of utmost value to you sir. It is similar to the Warman book idea of...
I would say, though, that this book is SO incomplete as to not be useful. When 99% of all types of coins you may ever see is not even covered, I...
For US coins, I would vote for Walter Breen's book. To me its basically the Red Book on steroids. The other books in your poll are all specialist...
I wasn't here with BNB, but from your post Paul Detecto comes to mind. I know young guys who think they know it all can come off the wrong...
Tell you what, if you get good at cleaning I have a few thousand I can let you "practice" on. I have a lot of good uncleaned coins stockpiled I...
Harlan Berk, Victor England of CNG, or David Sear of Freeman and Sear for ancients. Personally, I loved Riverguy's suggestion of a coin with a...
I don't see people getting mad. I would just be nervous about something as esoteric as rhodium, as I believe the market is very thin. One of...

Yeah, really. That is my problem with most modern issues, all of the dang packaging. I am a coin collector, but these modern issues they feel like...
Unless you are worried about your coins toning. Nothing worst than to put them in a hot, humid atmosphere like most attics are.
I am just unsure of where you would find more facts. Problem is, most PM investors ALSO seem to have a high distrust of financial markets, so why...
I would agree with both assertions. 5 gallons of pennies or nickels would be worth less than 5 gallons of dimes, quarters, halves, or dollars...
Well we welcome you here as well sir. This is what CT is about, sharing knowledge and laughs. I feel the same way about many members here. :)
I understand sir. Btw, I do not see where I said "traditional investors", but whatever. My point was you can "skim profits" all they want, but if...
Juan, I would be careful. True, there is SOME overlap between the markets, but not as much as you would think. Most serious bullion buyers I know...
"Computer algorithms"? You do realize that unless its only for their account, these algorithms are only trying to execute trades, not make the...
