This seems to beg the question of what it means to be a "productive person". Identical twins, raised with the same aptitudes, habits and values,...
You've clearly been buying well, and between having fun and making money, there's little to argue with. Just remember that silver has gone up...
It helps me understand what you're saying, but I can't see how it can possibly work. :( Spectroscopy relies on detecting differences in light...
I've made this argument myself in the past, but I decided it doesn't really hold water. They sell metal for fiat because they have sources where...
Just like every other time that we've moved away from a fiat-based electronic system that can transfer payments in the blink of an eye at...
But if you're adjusting the amount you spend based on whether you think the price is low or high, you're not dollar-cost averaging any more....
:eek: Where do I send your check?

If you're writing a program to search listings, eBay lets you set up a "sellers to ignore" list, with a maximum capacity that I forget (100?...
First Spouse gold excepted, of course.
I'd like to hear more about your test equipment. When you said "test an image of any coin", you did mean testing the coin directly, not from a...
No, but a hundred years ago or more, polishing was conservation. I can imagine that at least some of our contemporary state-of-the-art...
The same National Collection whose coins were "polished to a high gloss" multiple times during the 19th century? Ideas about conservation change...
Yep. Funny thing -- when they only sell 25000 total, it doesn't take them so long to get them all sent on their way. :)
LOL! I know quite a few people who would be happy to sell you a set of four for the bargain price of just $1,000. Heck, I'd buy a few on eBay for...
While I agree with your main point, I'd vote for a different analogy, at least until there's a market consensus that repainting a used car...
Separate names with a comma.
