Hello -- I recently posted an article on eHow.com trying to warn people about the pitfalls of buying numismatic gold unless they are seasoned coin collectors. The article is a little involved. Somehow it was not easy to write. I wonder what you guys think of it? It is meant for novices who never invested in precious metal, but who are tempted due to the high-pitched sales talk we are getting every day on radio and TV. Here is the link: http://www.ehow.com/how_5961359_avoid-rip_offs-buying-gold.html Thanks, Paul Richards, Stat-Matics
