But yet Warren Buffet is not against speculation in his "investment" fund. Remember he had a large silver position once. Plus, if you have enough...
You never know though. I have found surprising coins in shops or antque malls. Yes, 95% are a bust, but if you don't swing, you are guaranteed a...
Sadly the OPs tale is a common one. Chicken and egg I am afraid. Since so many collectors now go online for purchases, most stores do not stock in...
Just like everything else in life. Everywhere I turn, I see people selfishly doing something that benefits themselves at the expense of everyone...
$100k of gold being delivered to a trailer park? Sounds like a setup from the beginning. My view is the UPS is an idiot, and the purchaser and the...
Copper rounds IMHO are a horrible investment because the premium is too high. If I wanted to invest in copper long term, I would buy something...
I agree with and do it this way too. Whomever was in power is the ruler, no matter what subject or whom it depicts.
Yes, but you simply know I don't "do" pictures really. Don't know why I am so horrible at it. This one, in hand with a strong light, is every bit...

I understand sir, and agree with your characterization of "desert patina". That is why I put it in quotes. I try to avoid those if possible, as I...
Hey guys, he is a new collector. A newbie needs to learn. OP, it simply takes experience to know when to stop cleaning a coin. It is hard to...
No, I didn't buy it from a coin club and its not a coin about a coin club, I bought it because of my coin club. Our old website had a coin of...
Not everyone does this? Seriously, that is how I drift off to sleep, dreaming of undiscovered auctions full of precious little coins for me.......
I continue, after about 40 years reading about it, to see places that offer to store bullion for their customers be charged or convicted of fraud....
Great big bucket, and Scrooge McDuck 'em. :)
I agree. The bane of denari to me are "someone standing there" reverse types, (great definition btw @TIF, love it). That is why I never got into...
There are always other coins, right? :) TBH, the chase and wait are part of the fun anyway. I have posted here I had to wait 8 years to obtain...
