Passant, going back to my point, if one assumes an inflationary environment, then that assumption includes the prospect of increased NOMINAL...
What I read was that they were trying to mimic the look and feel of the new alloy nickels to minimize US citizens frustration. Hard to say that if...
Yeah, low silver inclusion, and the current Treasury rule bannign melting, makes these a less desirable silver play. Same reason 40% aren't worth...
I don't look, was there a lot of volatility? To me PM is a contra asset, if I find myself monitoring the market frequently, it would be because I...
Worst yet, try it on a 1600 year old Roman AE4, or a tiny little Greek. Man they made some tiny coins back then. :) On the flip side, especially...
