No doubt.... The criminal manipulation in the silver market can only continue for so long. The short positions are unreal. I think a big whistle...
All silver paper contracts are not options and or futures. You can buy silver certificates for delivery through most major brokerage houses. From...
I guess it depends on the coin. I really don't like the look of a circulated Morgan Dollar, and I really dont like the look of circulated gold...
I think this is an great point. I also think the reason that online dealers do so well is because they have made their business more modern. I...
I'm not a "real dealer", but I buy and sell coins. It is not even a a money making strategy for me as much as it is fun. However, if you buy right...
I would have to agree that wear is wear no matter how it comes about, because the truth it is a little hard to say that this was caused by that,...
Well..... I hate to burst so many bubbles here, but this coin looks no where near as nice in hand as it does in the picture. I still think it...
