Hey man, it's cool that you did not jump at me over my opposing view. I am personally all-in with precious metals due to my philosophical belief,...
Well, at least we found some common ground. :smile My point, which you agree with though grudgingly, is that we are living in bizarre economic...
Well, I am a numismatist myself, so I'm not knocking on coin collecting. I think it's a great hobby. But I suspect there is a melting freak-out...
Because you can come up with any chart to prove your biases by selecting a specific time period. No one can deny that over the last decade, gold...
I have said it before and I'll say it again: silver will rise substantially, maybe even to $500 to $1000 per ounce, within the next decade or two....
Of course there is a positive correlation between the money supply and the price of silver, hence the rise of the silver price in the last decade....
Is $500 silver possible? To me that question is similar to someone asking in the mid-to-late '90s: are internet shares worth hundreds of dollars...
I think many newbies who are guided to the Gray Sheet may be led to the wrong path. Call me a skeptic, but I believe many of the most popular...

Well, here are more pics of the Fat Man, including the edges: [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] The surface is flat and smooth, not grainy....
As an update, the seller of the yen has offered me a refund, and admitted the diameter should be 38.6 mm. I believe the seller played coy and...
Well, I tried to find bargains on Asian coins and I think I got burnt on one of these, so I'll post pics to get feedback from some experts to...
Same here. But I don't think I'll ever be interested in copper or nickel coins unless they are really exceptional. Lately, I have been buying...
I looked it up and it's a coin made of zinc. I picked up a 1937 5 mark the other day and think it's interesting, though I can't go around showing...
And that sums up the different worldviews of silver bugs such as myself and pure numismatists. I've noticed some ribbing by veterans here toward...
Perhaps it's because some people develop an interest in coin collecting after they start investing in silver, because junk silver is one of the...
Yeah, I was reading up on threads about the fakes and just learned how widespread they are. The 8 reales coins are a major target because they...
With all due respect, you could be right, as I am not an insider privy to information at the highest levels. But I have to take into account the...
I already pointed out that governments and central banks openly manipulate interest rates to manage sovereign debt, and manipulated Libor for many...
