I simply think that is your cultural view. I believe a large percentage of the world values gold because of its value, not innately for its...
I actually had something similar happen to my sister DavidH. She is manager of a cage in a casino. A lady came in wanting to convert SL, Barbers,...
If someone is in the market for ancients, I would also recommend CNG. They have some huge important auctions, but also have electronic auctions...
Is it really worth it? I ask since I get a couple of regular magazines like this and never consider them collectible so don't worry about the...
I very much doubt you have much to worry about. I would just go over them to make sure they are all what they are supposed to be, as I have seen...
Of US coins in my collection: 1. 1795 Flowing Hair dollar - Amazing huge coin from the early days of the mint 2. 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel -...
I agree 99% of the time you are right, but it really depends on how BIG of SHTF it is. Worldwide, global recession and insane interest rates? Gold...
