Yeah, it's funny that you are buying all of this PM yet criticize the PM gurus. Likewise, I would be classified by many PM bears as a numismatist...
Then you may want to specify that it is the dealers you have a problem with to avoid misinterpretation. Actually, from what I have heard, Mike...
I am all for people like Chris Duane and Mike Maloney getting criticized, but it does not help these discussions when members come in just to...
From my limited experience hereabouts and submitting a couple of coins and comparing them to feedback, standards in grading have changed such that...
As I have said before, you strike me as somewhat bullish on PMs. It's just that we arrive at our conclusions differently. I am more of the...
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...

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A lot of information on the internet is probably outdated.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...
It may be an expense, but, again, the issue is that the gold has basically disappeared. Keep in mind that we have a good number of military bases...
That's not my understanding of the repeal of Glass-Steagall. With its repeal, according to Nomi Prins and other sources of mine, investment and...
The issue isn't storage fees, with regard to only 5 tons getting repatriated from the Fed the first year. The issue is that the Fed could only...
I think the argument about the Fed tends to devolve into semantics -- the shareholders, as I understand it, are largely individuals with...
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...
