Why are these coins so expensive in the first place? 1 million mintage and they're selling for an arm and a leg on ebay? LOL. You can have it.

Company that makes pirate coins was busted for smuggling gold? You can't make this stuff up. Glad that I checked this forum. But anyway, that whale coin isn't bad. I'm really uninterested in precious metals, but I'll continue with this line because it's the best series out there.

That's what I was thinking. Just leave it as it is. It's still a huge block of gold, so the shape doesn't matter that much. The video was neat, but did the world need an entire channel about stuff being crushed? It's far better than a Minecraft YouTube channel, but still.

Gold is $1185 USD right now. It was $100 cheaper last year. That was your buying opportunity. Now? I dunno. I think we'll eventually see $900 gold if you wait long enough, but I was banking on that happening last year and never wanted to commit to even $1050. Yeah, $1050 could be a decent...

Apparently they are of an unlimited mintage (according to Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queen%27s_Beasts_(coin)#Mintage Maybe unlimited till they crown King Charles, so the reverse image would have to change. They look cool, so that's going to have to be a sufficient reason to...

What if a stacker gets shot while fighting off a dashing gang of silver bandits? After digging out the bullet, he/she can melt a silver coin and use a tiny bit of it to help clean the wound and fight infection. So there's some intrinsic value. :-D

Here's a simple answer for the OP. I want PM prices low so that I can accumulate more silver and gold without paying too much. It's that simple. (Some of us don't have a high income but still stack as we can.) Now that silver is over $20/oz USD, I'm out except to buy new privateer rounds just to...

$100,000 an ounce means that the USD is dead. I'd guess that a can of beans would be going for $5000 at that point. So it's not really much to celebrate. Some people are buying silver for this "end of the world as we know it" scenario, so they won't cash out before hand since they think that...

Does anyone want to make a comprehensive list of coins/rounds/bars that are notorious for spotting? Maybe there's already a thread for it, but I'd have to look. Canadian coins are the most noted, but I have quite a few of them anyway and about 10 elephants between this and last year. I buy a...

Unless you're buying at a local shop, then you'll want to wait till you have around $110-120 to make a purchase so that you can take advantage of the free shipping for sales over $99. It's hard to spend exactly $100 at places like Apmex, Provident, and JM Bullion unless you get your order made...

I don't think RCM has a great logo, but that's just me. Monarch Precious Metals has cool 5, 7, and 10 oz poured bars with viking and pirate themes. The pirate stuff has more of a premium though. No idea if they'll go up in value (doubtful, but who knows). I haven't bought any though since I just...

Scottsdale Mint is really popular. I think that I've bid on some of their stuff before, but I've never won anything. They're just too expensive for me. I only have three 1 ounce Scottdsdale coins (Congo and Fiji coins). Bavarian Mint for the Somali Elephant line. It speaks for itself...

Okay, now that poured round is awesome. Can't even argue against that at all. Maybe an entire line of old school monsters would be fun (Zombies, Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein, etc.).

Instead of patriotism, think Americana. Hotrods, cowboys, guitars, eagles killing snakes, frivolous lawsuits, Chuck Norris, Dusty Rhodes... A Ron Paul vs Ben Bernanke round or bar would be pretty funny. I'll take an "Audit the Fed" round.

I think that this years charts will echo last years'. So silver's high will be in May (or maybe that near brush at $18 in April), and then down it goes for the summer and fall before going back up again for a while. Maybe I'm wrong though. Just a hunch. Weren't those Roman soldiers making more...
