Not trying to be defensive, but those who make such arguments prove they know nothing about ancient coins or archeology. Put it this way. Say...
I have bought what was either a small hoard or a chunk of it. You can tell by the patina and similar cleaning. I never feel bad really since it is...
The time to buy will be when everyone stops talking about it. In the eighties there were a few hardcore believers in pm for a while. Just like in...
If I wanted to play the market, I would own paper pm, not physical. Physical, due to its buy/sell spread is a horrible asset to hold to trade. I...

I have to admit I have never even given these soldiers with standards a second look. Usually when going through piles of LRB these along with...

I agree. Its one of the downfalls of internet escrowing, which by itself was a good idea, the rise of sham escrow companies. Too bad, since it...
I have the blue version of this album. I bought it on Ebay maybe 6 years ago, about half filled. I just bought it for the coins, but admit it...
