I see the value of that, but $130 per coin is most of the margin I'd expect to make reselling these (absent big moves in the price of gold). If I...
Well, that would remove the possibility of the bank employees reporting my SDB contents to the black-helicopter crowd... :)
It's not my home branch, alas. But I'm not really worried about being mugged in the bank parking lot, nor in my employer's parking lot, nor in the...
It's easy to run afoul of Poe's law.
That's what I'm thinking, and I'm buying them at least pretty darn close to melt ($25 per coin above melt). I should've picked up the counterfeit...
*raises hand* Well, I guess I do now, but I was raised to be frugal, and it's still an ingrained habit -- I'll probably wake up with the sweats...
Found someone offering two double eagles and an eagle for gold spot on Craigslist. Someone else beat me to them, but the seller is now offering me...
Do you mean the dealers are asking 10-20% above Red Book price, or that the Red Book price is 10-20% above what the dealers are asking? And if...

Of course, one could say much the same about diamonds, or Levis, or cocaine.
I bought a bit of silver recently from someone who was pricing it based on the 2009 Redbook. He probably never did figure out why his nickels and...
The blue curves you're fitting to the data here don't look parabolic to me, they look hyperbolic. Of course, the problem with a hyperbolic curve...
A-ha. Thanks for labeling this for what it was. I'd thought it was just another silly, delusionary "let's plot a price history and then draw our...
This seems to echo the "one billion troy ounces" estimate. I've seen that estimate, but I've also seen estimates as high as twenty billion....
