Wow, I am a former MCSE and still couldn't follow all of that. I simply order my IT department to ensure everything on my home computer is backed...
Costco is out where I am, but everywhere else has to. Perfect case study how something irrational can get hoarded. The act of hoarding starts...
Ok, up to you. Myself I would have bought some junk round or small bar and practiced on that. I don't like practicing on coins myself if I can...
Um, yeah, you just lost any and all premium on that coin and will have trouble selling. Only one who wants that would truly be a smelter, who...
Standards are standards, at either a Troy ounce or 30 grams. In Asia, 30 grams is a more normal weight really than an esoteric weight invented in...
Just holding right now except for coins for kids. They like one ounce silver coins so I buy some every year for them. Not sure if I will ever put...
Are all of your pandas 2015 dated sir? I wonder if they started skimping on metal that year because they were not declaring on the coin it was a...

We all do. No one here knows everything, (well maybe @Barry Murphy ), but the rest of us plebs are here to share what we know and learn what we...

Thankfully, it does not appear the Chinese have attacked our market segment. However, we have CENTURIES of history with fake ancients. Its not...
No doubt there has to be disadvantages. It simply appears from this side of the pond that the EU is going out of its way to try to enforce MAXIMUM...
I have followed Brexit all along. The EU is going out of their way to "punish" the UK for daring to leave. Its all about fear. The EU, if the UK...
Yes. $10 was $10, be it a GC, SC, fed note, an eagle, 10 Morgans, or 1000 cents. Any bank would give you change or exchange any legal tender items...
Yeah, but you forget sir I am a hoarder. A coin with me is a lifetime commitment. I can give away though. Maybe I should donate them to the Boy...
