Yeah, its tough. Proving a blank planchet, especially something as esoteric as an experimental piece, is really hard. How do you "prove" it was...
Yup. They are popular because they are "free", (at least to the person taking it home), and the tiny neck makes it harder to empty. Kind of like a...
Paul, I understand your coins, and probably mine, are not of that category necessarily. I was throwing out the 50% number as an overall number,...
Just like it always has been. Two things about dealer, one good one bad. (Btw, I love dealers and hope the good ones here don't take this the...
I would "guess" the had them prestruck for the next year. Were these circulating coins or collector only issues?
Sorry if you think we have been too harsh on you. Your premise is sound, you like certain coins and wish to buy more. Great, I always love it when...
OK, what is "significant" then? Just curious. I may not even be significant, since I only have 6-8 ounces of the stuff. Btw, where did the...
I guess I would wonder about that. I believe every single American friend, (all my Thai friends of course own gold), have gold as well. It may not...
Don't we already HAVE a method of denominating your wealth in silver, and that is called "buying silver". Sorry, I simply don't see most of the...
Maybe not, but it came from the investor himself for years. His name is known, but escapes me. At least I had always read he told the story...
Not sure I would say that. The analogy was really talking about non-traditional investors and their participation in markets. When a market gets...
Most crusties are simply corroded garbage. Most good coins come out of the ground as recognizable good coins, they just need some dirt removed....
They aren't "crusties". They are already cleaned mainly, but piles of ancient coins, unless every single one of them is perfectly cleaned, will...
Sometimes, Mat, its best just to take it off. If its really splotchy now anyway, taking it off improves the coin in my eyes. I agree the silver...
Myself? Just time. Continue in the hobby, buy what you can afford when you can, and educate yourself in the process. Over time it will be amazing...
You want to REALLY have fun? Go to a large show like CICF and go through ancient pick boxes. I went through a huge one last April, going through...
Yeah, but you saved a POS Gordian. I wouldn't have. Heck, in the CICF pick boxes I bought almost all the silver in there EXCEPT for these. I only...
Maybe I am just dense. I sell a commodity today on the CME. I get the value of today's price. Before "delivery" I buy the commodity on the CME,...
I will agree silver in particular is a weirder market, but I DO think there is hedging both buy and sell side in it. Why wouldn't producers and...
Well ok then. I guess you just know better than I. I am just a CFO who particpates in the agricultural markets, and has tens of millions at risk...
Separate names with a comma.
