I doubt many non-norwegian, non black metal fans will know who the innocent looking guy in the second picture is.

His main point: Poor demographics and massive debt creation (relative to economic development) will create a massive deleveraging which deflate the money supply, and create lower prices all around. Further: Japan is worse off than Europe, which is worse off than US. Both in terms of...

Hello kind people at the panda forum. I am considering whether to send a couple of 2003 silver pandas for grading (NGC). As you can see, they are currently in OMP. In that regards, I have two questions: 1. One of them appears to have some toning. Is this something that can/will be removed by...

Unfortunately for Norway, Canada, Russia, middle eastern countries etc. the global markets doesn't take that in to consideration. Besides, since when are governments trying to balance budgets?

Vintage Norwegian do-goodery. Good to see we are still above everyone else.

It is the "China Panda Gold and Lunar Premium Set" with a colorized silver lunar medal in addition to the gold. Through my untrained eyes, they look like standard bullion issue. Thank you.

Although I do collect pandas, I myself prefer the pandas in their OMP, and would buy this set purely as speculation. If I do buy it, I would probably send it to NGC myself and wait for an opportunity to swap or sell it. Still I would like to know if they have an added value for collectors in...

How popular are the box sets among collectors? In the sets I have seen the coins are not in the usual OPM, but in capsules. Does that lower the value of the set as a whole, or does the box and COA make up for it? What would be a reasonable price for the 2003 set? Sorry to create a new thread...

I assume the 30g is meant to take over as the 1oz "flagship" of the series, but I think 50g makes more sense in the metric system. I'll be interested in seeing whether the latter are minted in low numbers as collectables with a higher premium, or if they will be sold like the 1-1/20 oz coins.

Hard to take people seriously with statements like these.

As I happen to be travelling to germany wednesday, I would love to more about this. Google is apparently broken, so any additional information would be much appriciated!

I hope you do, it's quite a long one - but a true page turner that is both eye opening and entertaining. I meant google pictures. My point was that every hospital in Norway is full of them. I know that the US spends a lot more pr capita on health care, and whereas I don't approve of you...

Depressing stuff this thread is. Here I am wanting to flee Norway as a refugee from socialism, but even the US is succumbing to the greatest evil the world has ever seen. NZ and Australia seems somewhat free still though. I know mr. shmorgan will consider scandinavia a success story, but I can...

My 0.02oz, as a foreigner. Ron Paul > Rand Paul > The rest/Whatever > Satan > Sanders*>Hilldog *(I don't know enough about Sanders, but based on his video, he might...

Whereas I agree these two are salesman more than anything else, I don't think your example is a contradiction. What they are saying is that real wages for the average person is declining. The reason it's expensive to hire people is all the added liabilities and costs, such as healthcare...
