I don't think Ted is being contradictory. As I have pointed out, markets are manipulated, probably in very illegal ways, though I know that...
That's absolutely true. These discussions will go around and around, because investors here have formed their opinions. It's just a matter of...
As I've said before, sometimes markets, which can be thought of as a collective consciousness, reveal more than their individual participants. I...
Those are all excellent points. I suppose I used the term too broadly and should be careful with it. I was referring to the financial execs who,...
Some of the Engelhard Prospector rounds I bought from Apmex weighed in at 31.2 grams. I wouldn't worry about a tenth of a gram variance. Edit: I...
I will be accumulating gold in the next couple of months. I am thinking British Sovereigns, French Roosters and maybe Dutch gold might be in...
A lot of information on the internet is probably outdated. I am not pulling stuff out of thin air; I have a business degree and it taught me...
Yes, I see that point: if gold is manipulated, then one can argue that it is best to stay away from such a market lacking transparency. Fair...

Thanks. I now realize that members here like to have specific details of coins posted, so I will be sure to do that in the future with any coins...
eBay is not a bad place, though many here scoff at the site. I may not have gotten the best deals on some of my coins posted in this thread, but...
Yeah, I find it strange that I stand out for seeking ancient coins of relatively high silver purity. I guess it comes more from having a...
Well, I did not deeply research them, since as Medoraman pointed out Gordon III coins are common in high grades. The other coin is of Philip the...
I took the advice of members here and found better pieces for slightly more money. I picked these up for a little over $20 each. I just received...
Well, from my real life experience, owners of stocks get nervous over doom-and-gloom talk. I also got nervous back when I owned stocks years ago....
Wishful thinking? Maybe. But a part of me knows that gold at $10,000 would be socially disastrous, maybe even for myself. This price would also...
I think it's fair to say, with German authorities openly talking about gold manipulation and the Fed's foot-dragging in giving the Germans back...
