Like others have said, have a 6 month emergency fund and no CC debt, then pay off the mortgage. Precious metals are iffy as investments. Sometimes...
I'm also interested in hearing from people who bought "made for ebay lots". They look "scam-my" to me so I avoid them, but I'd like to hear...
I have gotten a couple of good deals and two spectacular ones when buying SPECIFIC lots (not grab-bags) but there sure is a LOT of searching...

It's Monday night and the suspense is killing me...
This one IS wicked.... A genuine fake copper 1943. Beautiful copper color, and sticks to a magnet like nobody's business. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Yep. This is the FBL that surprised me. The lines are there, but weak. A slightly better angle shows them better. This is the best pic...
Thanks to everyone for your input! This whole FBL thing is nerve wracking. A couple of months ago, I submitted three Franklins to ANACS for the...
