I know many will tell you to specialize, but I think you should buy whatever attracts your attention. You can later decide what you really are...
Nice pickups. Are you specializing in an area or buying what is attractive to you?
/agreed. I crunched the numbers a few months back, and it surprised me. Depending on discount assumptions, silver should be between $16 and $20...
Just because a person believes the price is somewhat high does not negate the reason they may have bought in the first place. I bought originally...
Thanks, I especially liked the style on Aretas, many of these dies have goofy heads and necks on camels, stick figure for Aretas, or other die...
I just picked this up and am using the auctions pic. I am not a real Republican collector, but I have been looking for this one for a while to...
Just as an aside, I have been listening to the PM pushers a lot the last couple of months, (I definitely think PM ads are way up), and its just...

My prognistication, FWIW, is that inside China there are massive problems with state banks hiding debts, propping up failing industries, etc. We...
Cloud, you are completely correct, (or at least I completely agree with you), concerning your last post. In a traders mentality, "going with the...
I saw a fake Kennedy once. A dealer had it in his black box, purchased in a group of silver. The date was 64, but it was a cast fake. Doug is...
Cloud, being "correct" everywhere in between? You really believe that? Do you think dot com investors were "correct in 1998? Housing speculators...
I hear the reserve currency of choice in the world of smugglers, etc are now Euros due mainly to the fact of 500 Euro notes. This is worth almost...
