I agree that face value or any other value is meaningless. If you traded non-numismatic for numismatic, that would be harder. It all depends on...
I would NOT go as far to say the world likes us because of pricing. Antiques are a worldwide commodity and they know US collectors pay way too...
Yes, as I have said if YOUR currency is undergoing massive inflation, then ANY commodity that is exportable provide monetary safety. But I...
Sounds stupid I know, but the US dollar does indeed gain strength in times of troubles. It happens so regularly I am sure many people make a large...
....but the video only works if the gold is valued OUTSIDE of that area. If the whole world is in economic collapse, there IS no outsiders to pay...
Well first, don't trust a firm for tax advise. They will do what THEY are required, not is what is required of you. Two things, I would argue with...

Yeah, if areas I collect had the same "super premiums" like most US coins do, I would stop as well. This is a reason I detest slabbing of...

If you make a profit above a certain amount you have to pay estimated taxes throughout the year, not just April 15 like other people.
And anyone lucky enough to guess it right will have made a mint. People, (especially people involved in a market, like coin collectors in PM's),...
I would not describe the markets the way you have. I would say (for silver), a flat market from 1962 to 1977, then a overly dramatic runup...
Well, this woul depend in the transaction, type of coins, type of bullion, etc whether this would be a like kind exchange. I could see most...
Well Winged, how do you explain that silver used to have a production/usage deficiency due to industrial usage as recently as 2007, but nowadays...
Mine is more like: http://www.amazon.com/BARSKA-Binocular-Zoom-Stereo-Microscope/dp/B002AQ0R2S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1299600769&sr=8-4 but...
