I own one ancient slab, misidentifying the ruler, year struck, and mint. I keep it for giggles. Remember, just recently the Octodrachm that was...
I agree thinking the article was written to support gold prices. Why is it the assumption that gold would go up? Why wouldn't the Treasury, if...
Yes, I know all of that, but generically gold was illegal for people to use as a hedge to currency. What if that happened again? WHY would the...
Formosa, (Taiwan). If I had my Krause I would give you the reference number. Look at the reverse, its a map of the island.

I like the idea of Morgan's if you have an urge to buy bullion, but want downside protection. I think its smart if you want to buy silver right...
