No more Mr. Ts! You are correct. It is now very dangerous to go out wearing gold jewelry conspicuously, even and especially in the U.S. However,...
I don't mean to play devil's advocate here, but I'm a bit of a fan of both gold and silver, and like you I recognize that gold is king and silver...
A lot of sterling silver has historically been produced in Thailand, and sterling nielloware has been abundant on eBay for cheap for many years. I...
Interesting call, since it was sold to me as an XF. I tend to think sellers over-grade, so I lean conservative. *Actually, the seller sold it as...
The SLQs seem somewhat tricky to grade, and I saw some examples and to my inexperienced yet somewhat experienced eyes there isn't that much...
This coin would probably not be worth grading, and I'll keep it in a tube, but it's worthwhile developing the skill of selecting problem-free...

What are you trying to do: out-alpha me in a coin forum? Seriously, if I were you I'd register at RSDNation.com to use your energy a bit more...
My LCS dealer gave me the same advice you gave the OP. Had I followed his advice -- just bought Silver Eagles -- I would have taken a 50% haircut...
I think it's very misleading for some to assert that ASEs are that much different than junk silver. For newbs with just a few ounces, this...
Absolutely this post belongs here. You are welcome to ask any questions. By the way, it sounds as if you are aiming for semi-numismatic silver...
It seems some posters are unintentionally reinforcing the impression that there is a huge difference between junk silver and bullion. This feeds...
I sure hope so. I am now accumulating gold. Got me a 20 franc Rooster, a 5 dollar Indian Head and a 2.50 dollar Indian Head. Oh yeah, and a...
And this has occurred with supposedly very low inflation and a recovering economy. It seems the precious metals markets are signaling something...
Japan has basically been in a depression for about two decades. The difference between us and Japan is that Japan has had more savers who bought...
