I would agree physical silver is tight. You have to ask yourself why though. Is industrial demand skyrocketing? No. Is production declining? No....
Yes, I guess I meant more of the line of their rules and how they operate. They are a private market and change margins or anything they like....
I was well would like to echo others comments here and say how I always looked forward to reading your posts. You are a classy guy who always...
Well, I posted I only did it because in that particular show the public was getting fleeced, and after a show or two I bought a table. I also said...
Proof of that is ancients. I have a couple of blue copper ancients, (bronze but incomplete mixture). I actually have more ancient artifacts blue,...
Dang, that was impressive. :)
I was never as good as you, but I do understand yoru frustration. I used to be good enough to run tables a couple times in a run consistently. I...

Yeah, if it was blatant. I agree its risky. I was just throwing out what I have done before. I do not feel bad about it since it was at a small...
Fair points, though other things like the inflation you mentioned and commodity prices like oil were in inflation adjusted dollars much worst in...
1000% agree. If something is wrong with this coin, then I have 50 "problem" coins just like it, (100 if you count my bust halves). Toning is...
One of my favorite coins actually. These are probably the most common date, and I used to cherry pick the 7 finger varieties from WB book at...
Thanks for the better explanation Jim. I think I was just too lazy to go through all of that. :)
I would say "best form" depends on two things: Are you a collector also, and what do you want to do with it? If you are a collector, I would...
One question. The top pick looks like there is a seam around the coin. Is this a function of the photograph? I wouldn't assume a coin with an...
