I disagree with that sir. There have been periods where collectible coins greatly exceeded the returns of bullion. While many here may buy both,...
Rickmp, I would agree with this. Too many ways for someone to defraud you with a check. It could be stolen, written on account with NSF, forged,...
My comment to the OP would be to identify his Chinese and then hold them. Chinese struck coins have gone up like a rocket the last few years....
I would recommend the same sir. Geographical diversity helps. Nice stable government, close by, all are pluses. The only downside I see is an...
Matt, I would just suggest there is immense pleasure at going over and grabbing something like Roman Coins, (World of Numismatics), and reading...
The twin hammers of JUSTICE! :) Duly noted, sorry to have to have you two post, and sorry to SQG for misreading his reference to Berkley.
