You know, as soon as I'd posted my original comment, I thought about you, and thought to myself, "...with some exceptions." :) There are some...
I've been told the same thing many times, by many different people from many different walks of life: Trying to make a living from your hobby is...
Kitco says CME just raised margin requirements for gold contracts: http://www.kitco.com/reports/KitcoNews20110810AS_CME.html Come tomorrow,...
Just remember that you can't get anywhere near "melt value" for war nickels. At the last show I went to, when silver was close to the same price...
Indian quarter and half eagles. Anything with a President's head on the front. I think that's enough damage for one post. :devil:
That's double-booking. :) Either you made a big profit on the silver, or you got a low cost basis on the gold, but not both. (I'm guessing Uncle...
I paid $2215 for three eagles using my credit card -- actually, $100 or so came out of PP balance, and the rest off the CC. I got the whole amount...
1986 $50 proof Eagle that I cashed out last month. Ah, timing.
Why didn't you file Buyer Protection claims? I just got a full refund for three gold eagles (two Liberty and one Indian) that never showed up --...
This seems like an EXCELLENT application for a "virtual credit card number". My Citi MasterCard lets me set them up, and it was one of the major...
You're right, of course. I'm not sure where I got the idea that non-numeric grades were also restricted.
Here's a page with an image of a legit 1913 Liberty nickel....
Don't forget these eBay favorites: "About Fine" "A FINE Coin For Your Collection" (to dodge the policy that prohibits posting grades for...
"U" can tell the same way anyone else can -- by using a little common sense. The 1913 Liberty nickel is one of the most infamous coins in all...
Dimes for gas, dimes for gas. Silver, gold and petroleum products have gone up disproportionately to most other tangible goods. The value of the...
I asked for half dollars at one bank, and they said they had some in an envelope. They opened it to check the count before selling them to me, and...
I've seen this seller's auctions before. Here's the bit that stuck in my memory: Well, gee, Mr./Mrs. Seller, is the fixed Buy It Now price...
Lots of camping out on the "Buy It Now"/"newly listed" page will also net you some profit, if you're quick and decisive (and lucky). So will...
At that price (melt), just weigh it on an accurate scale and measure it. If it weighs around 4.18 g, and it's not over diameter or thickness, grab it.
I'm still not buying the "gold is the ultimate reference for value" idea. When gold fell from $700 to $300 in the early 1980s, I certainly didn't...
Separate names with a comma.
