But their budget does depend on commemorative and bullion sales. If they falter, then they go over budget. They are in a tough position, their...
Two things, counterfeit is both a verb and a noun. You are talking about the verb, I am talking about the noun. My problem under your...
They are? Why is that sir? Are ancient coins not capable of being counterfeit? What were your answer to my questions? I would like to know. If...
Nice post Cladking. As for where they are, I would not underestimate sock drawers, etc. My great aunt passed away and she had coins like this,...
You are mathematically correct, but I still like bld522's approach and do it myself. In the face of unknown conditions, I hedge my bets. I have...
Great post. I violate nearly every dang tenet, but that doesn't mean you are not completely correct. :)

The only concern I would have would be having guns and coins in the same space. Some chemicals used on guns aren't the greatest for coins. My...
I suck too. :) I do the same as you. We both are in the "don't know, so just hold it" category. I think Cloud was saying if you see a loss coming,...
Only one small comment sir. Btw I really do appreciate you coming here to discuss these issues with us. It helps a lot. So, my main concern...
That is fair sir, but always be ready to pull the trigger if you really believe you know something. I use PM as a hedge too, but if it skyrocketed...
I do not think I have ever lost a coin within the US. I have only ever lost them coming from overseas. Half the time, if its obvious, the USPS...
