Ikandiggit and Vess, I agree with both of you. However, most Americans are financially illiterate so they don't. That is the thing about hanging...
Agreed. Dealers make money in coins, collectors make enjoyment, fun, and possibly friendships as their return. I advocate a small amount of a...
I see it as just a goldbug making up conspiracy theories. This is a bothersome aspect of being a believer in PM, so many conspiracy theorists also...
Depends on what you mean by "Wall Street". So you mean investment banks who physically reside there? I might agree with you. Do you mean all...
I got it, (and posted on another thread), and I got 5 sets.
Congrats sir. My baby boy will be 7 weeks Saturday. I imagine you are not getting much sleep, (hence my mood being sleepy :)). You really are...

First one also in a Fel Temp Reparatio reverse. All of them OP are Roman mid fourth century bronzes, probably the most common ancients known. In...
Email just received: "Dear United States Mint Customer: We are fully aware of the difficulties many customers encountered last week with...
Funny you mention the lack of fun brought about from slabbing baseball cards. I collected them when I was younger and still have about a trunk...
Thinking about it some more, you can't start over really, can you? Read a little more while I explain. Everyone here is saying to buy better...
All of this stuff regarding to slab or not, to open or not, simply has me frozen not knowing what to do I guess. I bet you money when the 5 sets...
