Ok, I will post your response again: The only advantage that I can see for the USD, relative to any other currency on the planet, is the US...
I would say that even 1.3 to 1.8 million Americans are "serious" coin collectors is too high a figure. Be careful with what numbers those in the...
I would say that: 1. Who said price wouldn't go up? When I started buying silver barbers had huge premiums, now they have none. Some day if...
That's true, its not like there is a President and a large organization staging sit ins that are demanding enormous tax increases on "the rich" or...
