I agree it would be a great collection. I have a type set book for Mexico that has most holes filled, (no cabillito). I was thinking of filling it...
I would be confortable in assuming if its not listed in Krause, they did not amke any for those years. Krause has mistakes, but Mexican coinage is...
Interesting, the mechanicals and glass would only weigh 10-16 grams? I would have thought more. Does this also apply to Rolex's, etc?
I know its scary, but lets look at the alternatives. The Yuan is not an international currency, and even if it was remember they are still...
Well Siggi I would lower that to 90% silver, as I have dipped many US coins. "Cleaning" is such a large term many things can get lost. Are you...
True, but I have friends in Europe and they collect at first their coins, but quickly branch out to other countries as they are exposed to them...
Maybe of US coins, but their pics usually aren't as good for ancients as CNG.
Well silver took a generation. But to long term holders that is ok. It took me 20 years to have the paper gains I have today on silver, and if I...
Good point. While I own quite a bit, I have stopped buying world silver that is affected by melt values. My dream scenario would be to sell...

Good point Phil. I have European friends and they save a much larger percent of their income than even I do, and I think I am conservative. They...
Well, 10 years ago I would have said it hurt its value 5-10% over a blazing white example. Idk about today.
Lone wolves don't survive long, it is the pack that survives, right Cloud?
Heck yeah. Even stuff still higher than silver value, but closer to it, are rising with everyone's mad dash to silver now. I am still buying...
Guy, your basis will be what you had in them. The complicating factor is that they were gifts. Since I doubt you paid taxes on the value of the...
Good points Jim. My fear, (or at least worry regarding silver prices), is that the politicians will finally show some political courage and tackle...
Understood, and that is normal. I think the OP was referring to why som many US collectors ONLY collect US coins, and why the prices are SO much...
Well the gain will be as simple as how much you paid for them, any costs of maintaining them, (part of safe deposit or insurance charge), versus...
