Great point of course. I was assuming he wanted to invest in silver and still be as liquid as possible while still collecting coins. If the OP...
I searched but cannot find a chart demonstrating lower volatility on circulated coins than uncirculated. Dougs chart shows the great volatility in...
Well Lehigh, a lot of people have made a lot of money on things I either don't understand or disagree with. If I really knew all of the answers I...
Jared, If you love coins, I would collect silver coins that are just worth melt. This bet would let you love the coins, collect them, but only...
Yep, exactly. I have seen them get toned as well. The Grilledporkchop's point was very valid, they used to be toned to cover up the fact that they...
Sad story, my wife is Thai and is actually a Thai chef instructor and I hate Thai cooking. :( If you need any Thai cooking advice I can ask her,...
Awesome247, there was an article in the WSJ a couple of months ago about how many servicemen were buying fake coins in Afghanistan. I know how...
I have been with snip.pl for years and never bid without it. I have never had a bad bid in 8 years or so. I like being away from the computer so...

I use snip.pl. They only charge for successful snipes, and you get like 30 for $5. Best money you can spend. What is best about this is you can...

Great post. Do you have any idea of the silver recovery rate? I ask since some catalysts that aren't pure PM like yours have nearly 100% recovery...
Well you assume that just because a coin hadn't been minted for a while they were out of circulation. In the bible they referenced a lepton that...
Well he might but I don't. Collectors have been bashing big numismatic companies for years, like this one. They have huge overhead because they...
I understand Doug but I thought the tone of the article was not conducive to understanding the transaction, it was to ridicule it and to basically...
Yours is a nice one Doug. I dug through a junk box once and set some aside thinking of putting together a small group. I think only one or two...
