Very pretty cent, but I bet cent collectors would value it higher if it were not toned. They are weird people who do not place additional value...
And this is why for the average Joe I say metal speculation is a game that is hard to beat the house on. Way too many people buy at too high of...
And it is a valid point, one that maybe we don't make enough. The main culprits on this board I believe are aware of this, but you are right many...
I am not. Looks like old cleaning and start of retoning to me, but these things are better determined in hand.
Ok, if you think that. I thought investment banks business model was to help find capital for businesses, they may have a treasury of stocks for...
As an aside, where at in Thailand? My wife and I have property in Lampang and are thinking of buying a place in Chiang Mai. My food bills in...
Who said they were keeping that risk Fatima? A bank's best position would be to sell both sides of the position and just keep the fees. That in my...

Interesting reading and link Juan, but as an ancient collector I will tell you for a fact there are serious errors in the linked article....

I agree as well. I believe most of the early gold up until the 1850's or so, and almost all of the small denomination gold, were from coins that...
Welcome to the Forums, (especially PM forum). Just as an aside, I wouldn't take too much personally. Many here, including myself, post just to...
