No offense taken. I am just curious what grade this coin has.
The issue is I got it from eBay rather than the mint, so I lean toward the scratches caused by mishandling. I just don't know if they are harsh...
I am not disputing the legality of closing gold holding accounts, since these institutions know the rules better than most of us here. It just...
Thanks. This forum has helped balance the information I get, but from what I gather there appears to be some evidence of gold tightness among...
I think silver will burst past its high of $50 an ounce within the next 3-4 years and may even hit the triple digits, and once the precious metal...
I may have jumped the gun by purchasing this coin on eBay, in my rush to acquire an Austrian silver coin with a nice design. It appears to have...
Nope. At least not in my view, as someone who likes precious metals (I feel lonely here at times, but at least I am starting to get positive...
I wouldn't be too optimistic in the long term and here's why. In 2000, the dot-com bubble blew up. In 2008, the real-estate bubble blew up....

I have tended to view silver as a monetary metal, not so much because it is used in daily transactions like paper cash and in rare cases gold, but...
I just came to the realization that I may have been too hard on those who scrutinize supply and demand and cost of production numbers. I believe,...
That's possible. Call me crazy, but if the parallel universe theory is true, then all scenarios will occur. However, the world works in terms of...
Yes, this correction is more violent than even I expected, but like mikem pointed out, picking tops and bottoms is a fool's game. The NFP number...
I'm going to post something that is obvious but bears repeating. Many silver stackers are long-term investors, or rather extremely long-term...
OK, well that is a start. It just seems you get very emotional in this forum. At least, more so than someone who dispassionately presents a...
You, on the other hand, made false accusations about MarketWatch journalists, attacked a headline which simply pointed to higher U.S. Mint sales,...
The Nikkei is getting nailed because the yen is temporarily gaining versus the U.S. dollar, which is bad news for Japanese exporters that are...
